This is a fix for saggy worn out door hinges on a Chevy Blazer that my buddy Marc came up with. Disclaimer: THIS IS NOT A WELDING TUTORIAL. We know the weld sucks, but that's not the point here....

Good job fellas. Welding comes with practice. The only correct repair would have been weld in new hinges, and that's a lot of work. I like the initiative and the time you took to share.

[@RobertSiwik1968]

Nice repair , guy are not understanding the real problem and keep saying its the pins and bushings but its the metal on the hinge above it! I understand your fix . Subbed buddy!

[@josephtrejo8488]

Need my door welded. Just like that

[@cinnamongmc5430]

Have to replace my driver's door hinge pins AGAIN, after ~ 6 years. This woman & son did it. Hardest part was replacing the spring, even with the spring tool 😬

That’s not a repair that’s rigging.

[@lunaticfringe8559]

This is a common problem with S-10's /S-15's. Before you make a poor attempt at welding a "bracket" onto an otherwise good door and hinge you should look into buying a hingepin kit that comes with bushings to make the repair and is intended specifically for this problem.

Now without welding...

[@kylepeeks5565]

Save a guy some time....what size hole in the bracket?

[@pacificdrumma]

Nice. Always disconnect the battery when welding on a vehicle so as not to damage the vehicle’s electrical systems.

[@user-rz8os4jt5b]

Why not just buy bushings and do it right?

UPDATE: July 2020. So the fix has held up! We know this was not supposed to be a professional fix by any means. Neither of us are very good at welding, but we hope this inspires others to give fixes a try and save some money.

Damn, why didn't I think of this? I've been going through vid after vid trying to find a simple fix for this very issue on my S10 yard truck (def not worth doing a hinge replacement). Thanks, you saved the day!

[@milldabeast519]

My jimmy has this exact same issue and I'm going to do this procedure

Hi I need help with my 1994 c1500 single cab... both doors hit on the upper cab corner when I close them and the metal is getting messed up from contact any advice would help thanks

[@twstf8905]

What if you don't HAVE access to a welder?!

[@Radiowild]

Looks like a winner to me. Probably smoothed out the closing once you rolled over the striker.

[@kevinstewart4346]

That's a really clever fix.

[@Warp9pnt9]

On my vehicle, I have the same door symptoms, except the hinges themselves seem to have some rust around edges and a slightly deformed door frame surface indicating some rot inside there behind the metal the hinge is welded to. Also, the roller on the pin rotted off, and the spring won't stay in. There are no replacements for the hinge pin with the roller thingy. In my case, I may need door frame surgery, so there's something solid to weld a new/used hinge to.

did u make bracket or buy ? my hinge is pretty wallowed out will it still work ?
