Default Re: Hinge pins

Stainless steel pins are available oversize at 0.245". I used a 0.250 reamer to size the holes in my hinges as they had some wear. I suggest a reamer rather than a drill bit as the size will be more precise. I also machined the top side of each door side of my hinges for a thin nylon washer to eliminate the metal to metal contact which is a source for chipped paint and rust and makes the operation smoother.
