These hinges are 60 years old and have been needing some TLC for about
59 years. There’s a sleeve for that top bolt, so I don’t know why it had
to be so stupid. Anyhow, now it’s locked in place and hanging on a
Grade 5 7/16ths bolt. It ought to last another 100 years. And the door
is much easier to put up and down...

Thank you. I need to move the door down an inch though because it’s finicky about closing. I built the garage door a few years ago and it’s in good shape. Also, there’s a loft in the way of a traditional garage door. AND, I kind of like having the old school hardware renewed. Cost me about $17 so far. Pretty sure a new door would be a couple more zeros...

New traditional doors actually aren’t that bad. My father-in-law got a new single non-insulated door installed, with a new opener for around $900.
Which is almost $900 more than fixing the one you already have, so that’s a good call :)

Mine is probably a good deal more stout, as well. I am really pleased.
Enjoying your summer? I have been turning my wrenches a bunch.

I am, although I have been mostly watching my girls, not much wrench turning. I was able to get the RallyMetro ready for its next event in two weeks.
