Have your door hinge pins worn?

no, not much but the door looks to have been repaired in the past and this maybe my problem! the hinges appear to have little vertical adjustment so I was going to either:-

A) drill out the bolt holes a bit bigger.
B) helicoil the threaded plate and use a smaller bolt
C) put another door on.

I can get another door but its white instead of bronze(brown?) how much does spraying cost these days?

If the door can be lifted back into its original position then i would advise you to get new hinges and hinge pins, wont cost much and are a dealer part, cost me less than a tenner to sort, its gotta be worth it!!! good luck!
