My composite front door which is about 10 years old has been sticking a bit recently. When I rock the door I can see a little play in the top hinge, it appears to me that the Pin is worn.
It looks straightforward to change, there are plastic caps on top and bottom, a couple of socket (allen) grub screws that look to be holding it in place. Do I just slacken these screws and knock the pin out with a punch having chocked the door in position?
Secondly, where do I get these new pins from. B&Q/screwfix? I've had a quick look online with no success. There are a couple of door and window manufacturers in our area. Would they be receptive to me (non trade) turning up and asking for new pins?
Thanks in advance.
