Re: Replacing door hinges opinions please

Are you having problems? They are odd fitting doors but there are some tricks. FORGET reproduction hinges, avoid all reproduction parts a all costs. They are "similar" and can be used if nothing else is available. But if you think you are going to solve problems by buying new parts and bolting them on instead of fighting with the old rusty originals you are sadly mistaken. Spending a little time repairing original stuff is MUCH better 99% of the time than ANY reproduction part.
