Resources for repairing double swing door (center pin style)
Home Improvement Asked by J.T.Sage on April 9, 2021
My Google skills have failed me in my task today – I have a double swing cafe-style door between my living room and kitchen that the top pin has become loose on – it appears to me the door is sitting low overall, as it also drags slightly at the threshold.
Alas, I don’t actually know what this style of hinge is called, other than it is not the widely-available spring load saloon style I am familiar with – but, It’s really kind of a nice door, and I’d love it to work again.
Images of the door, and the top and bottom hinges (click to enlarge):
Anybody got a nice video somewhere of how to adjust, or even assemble/disassemble these? Thanks!

Looks like you should be able to pry down this circular plate and the door will be released.
Shove a screwdriver in there or a spackle knife. You'll want to support the door as upright as possible when doing this because the lateral force on the pin is immense.
