- Hate those builder-grade interior door hinges or maybe just need a stylistic change? They’re easy to replace. Watch dad go through the prep process and the actual replacement. He even installs Everbilt’s squeak-free hinges to see if these really work!

Does the hinge pin come out, how?
Typically, you can remove hinge pins with a flat-head screwdriver and a hammer. You just put the end of the screwdriver under the top of the pin and gently tap the end of the handle of the screwdriver with the hammer. You can remove the pins from some hinges, but not others. I haven't to remove them from the hinges I installed in this video.
Ok you just kinda glossed over what I have spent the last hour trying to figure out because I’m baffled. I did understand the hinges only fully close one way- mine are rounded on the jamb side and straight on the door side. Therefore I can only put them on one way. It does close but I was so confused why the hinge pin feeds UP from the BOTTOM?! I’ve never ever seen this and was questioning what the heck until I saw you comment to do it this way. What am I missing?!
Hey there. Yeh, the pin shouldn’t be feeding up. If your door handle is on the left side of the door (and you are opening toward yourself), the straight part of the hinge should be on the door jam. And it’s the opposite if the handle is on the right side of the door. Either way, the pin should be on top of the hinge.
@@daddoesvideos So I’m really confused now. The handle is on the right and it swings inward. The hinges that came on the door from the factory had the flat edge hinge on the door (the cutout is square as well)… and the rounded corner part is on the door jamb/frame. This is confirmed right as well by the cutouts being shaped the same. The hinge pin was normal, with the head on top and pin going downwards.
Now this new hinge, as you mentioned only closes fully in one direction. If I take the fully closed hinge and put it on the door with the exact same rounded and square parts where they should be- the screw holes line up perfectly with the original ones. Only problem is… the pin is upside down- the head is on the bottom and the pin goes upward… put it in the bottom and hammer it upward to go in.
I tried everything flipping the hinge this way and that way, trying to separate the two wings and flip them backwards or backwards and upside down to try and make it work…. there is only 1 way it can go and work.. and it’s with the pin upside down. So I’m stumped.
I already replaced the hinges regardless and the door still works perfectly and lines up exactly as it did from the factory- opens and closes smoothly; no weird gaps, sticking… and the bolt and handle latches catch perfectly. So I guess at this point we’re going with that since functionally it’s great. I would just really like to understand what happened here out of my own curiosity and if I could have done something that I didn’t! Thanks for the reply!
PS - my question is this- I get why the part on the door is flat- so it has the most surface contact with the door and the edge is flush with the flat edge of the door. Now why have a rounded cornered leaf on the other side? Why not just have it square as well? At the very least you could then flip it either way and it lines up with the notch. Seems stupid to me to have each wing different. What’s up with the rounded anyway? Aesthetics? So odd.
@poisonfortheweak yeh, that’s weird. Have not run into that. If it works, I’d just go with it. Strange.
Helpful .. thanks !!
Excellent. Glad it helped! Thanks for watching.
Yes, these aren’t budging so wondering if the squeak-free are locked in. Haven’t found anywhere showing the pins coming out of these hinges.
@bjmello6445 Could be the case. Why do you want to take the pins out?

Easier to hang the door…
