Onoff Posted August 17, 2022 Posted August 17, 2022 Going to sound like I'm super tight but rather than replace a pair of worn rising butts, can you simply add a couple of washers over the hinge shafts?

ProDave Posted August 17, 2022 Posted August 17, 2022 Christ, how much have they worn? I doubt you will need more than one surely?

It's just the crappy bog door catch in the upstairs ensuite won't slide into its hole. It's either the hinges worn a fraction or the timber frame of the dormer shifted! 😂
