Hier staat een oplossing:

En een Tee-Nut is zo'n ding:
De tekst spreekt over een 'Brad Hole version' - dat is er eentje met een platte flens met gaatjes. Deze is 'Pronged' - dat zijn die opstaande spikes - ik zou ze plat slaan als ze die andere niet hebben.
En de JB Weld waarover gesproken wordt is een 2 componenten epoxylijm.

$10 Solution to the Problem
« Reply #5 on: August 05, 2009, 11:25:26 PM »
I had that problem when both hinges broked simultaneously. When all else fails, here is a simple and inexpensive, but sturdy repair.
(1) Go to Lowes and get a package of 10-24 X 9/32 T-nuts (brad hole type, not the spike type) in the hardware department (found in one of the specialty drawers), a package of 10-24 X 1/2 inch sheet metal screws, and a package of J-B Weld (which can also be bought at Walmart).
(2) You will need to support the stepper door that will allow you to work on it partially closed about six inches.
(3) The plan is to have the threaded shank of the T-nut pass through the hole of the inner hinge and then through the slotted hinge. Once the T-nut is in position, secure the T-nut in place be installing the sheet metal screw into the hollow threaded shank from the front the outer slotted hinge. However …
(4) Before proceeding, it is important to know that the T-nut will easily pass through the outer slotted hinge but if I remember correctly, I had to expand the diameter of the hole on the inner hinge just enough for the T-nut to pass through it. Therefore, if the T-nut does not pass through the inner hinge hole, carefully drill the hole to accommodate it. I know this sounds vague, but find a drill bit that bests matches the outside diameter of the threaded T-nut.
(5) Test install the T-nut so that the threaded shank passes through the hole of the inner hinge first and then through the slotted hinge. Install the sheet metal screw through the slotted hinge and into the threaded shank of the T-nut. Note: The head of the screw that I used was large enough that a metal washer was not necessary. In fact, clearance is so tight between the head of the screw and the door casing that a washer could not be used.
(6) Remove the stepper door support and open and close the stepper door to determine if it opens and closes easily. Adjust the screw accordingly to allow for easy door operation.
(7) Put the stepper door support in place again and remove the sheet metal screw. Following the directions for J-B Weld, prepare the adhesive and apply it to the thread of the screw per the J-B Weld instructions and install the screw to the previously set position. You may want to carefully test the door to verify that the door open and closes easily and make final adjustments to the screw as needed before the J-B Weld sets.
(
Let the J-B Weld dry over night with the stepper door supported.
(9) Apply lithium lubricant to provide better door hinge operation and to protect the new metal hinge parts against corrosion.
Your stepper door should be ready for service. Smile
