Do the upper door hinges stick out enough to allow the hinge pins to be removed while the hinges are attached?
I have repro hinges and need to redrill the holes to move the doors in and not sure whether to move the hinge on the post or door..

The pins on my top hidge would hit where door steped out. Had to remove hidge to remove pin. I enlarged holes at door post slighty to move door in. Than I could reach in and tighten nuts after doors was where I wanted it.

Thanks for the reply.

Mine need to move in almost 1/4".
With the hinges fastened to the door the top pin will not come out. That must be the right location so I need to slide the hinges in on the door post. I think I will weld up the holes in the hinges and redrill them as close as possible then do as you did if I need to fine tune them some.
