ben2136 Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Almost at the end of redecorating our bedroom and a door hinge broke putting the bed into the room. Been struggling for ages to try and get the very painted c Victorian era hinge off. All paint is chipped off but screws not budging. Any suggestions welcome!

joiner andy Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Try and tap all the paint out of the screw head with a hammer and screwdriver, then use the correct sized screwdriver and a bit of force and the screws should start to budge. If no joy give me a Bell. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnvqsos Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Try using an impact driver which will work in rotational and lateral directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mafya Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 Put the screwdriver in the screwhead and give it a slight tap with a hammer, usually works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
