If your front door hinges have loosened over time and the screws just spin in place when you tighten them, here's a tip that'll save you buying a whole new frame. First, repair just one hinge at a time. That way you won't have to remove the door. Take out the screws on both sides to reveal bare wood. Then use a hammer to tap as many glue-covered toothpicks into each screw hole as possible. When the glue dries, use a chisel or sharp knife to trim off the excess toothpicks. Then replace the hinge and reinstall the screws. Repeat the process, and your door should be as good as new. If hinges are loose because the frame has split, try using longer screws. Three-inch-long wood screws are what you'll need to span the gap between the door frame and house frame. A screw that's just a little longer than the original usually won't get the job done. Whether with toothpicks or longer screws, you'll have a door that's good as new. And that's the On The House tip for today.
