Title: doors
Post by: geraldchainsaw on 2012-06-17 08:38
just a simple question,      going to make a dolly to cradle the door when i take them off,    where the hinge is mounted to the inner side walls with bolts,    are the nuts welded inside the wall?,    so when i put the door back on it goes in the same place?,   thanks     jerry     like i said,  simple

Nope, they are in cages to allow adjustment.  Best way to get them back to the same spot is t drill a 1/8" hole through the door skin and hinge (both upper and lower) and use the shank end of the drill bit to align them as they go back on.  If you are going to rebuild the hinges don't bother with this step as you will need to start the alignment process all over fron scratch.
