I’m lucky to be able to put our Troll in my workshop for storage. I’m fed up with the poor quality of the locker hinges so I’m going to replace them all with piano (continuous) hinges. I might even consider doing the toilet door too as I’ve read some reports of doors coming off during transit.
I will post some photos if there is interest. In the meantime a Merry Christmas to you all. Stay safe.

Thought you might be quick on the draw here Colin! I fully understand the problem you mention but if you use the correct screws - 3.0 by 12mm countersunk this problem doesn’t arise. I’ve fitted two already with no problems. If you are worried about any hinge binding you can give the hinge an extra countersinking but my experience so far negates the problem you highlight.

Just taken a pic of the screw in the hinge. As you can see it sits well into the hinge and when closed the two leaves of the hinge are 3mm apart giving plenty of room for the heads of the screws. I’ll post photos when all the locker doors are done and the materials and cost.,?981BF10C-D02F-4116-94DE-2E3074EE9DB1.jpeg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

Sorry Colin but you’re telling your grandmother to suck eggs

................................but it's good for us totally none-technical people to read you two experienced guys share solutions and have technical banter.

The morning we were taking our Troll in to be serviced an overhead locker door came off in Kath's hands. The dealer put it back and put some slightly larger screws in. This only looks to be a temporary measure. When we were in York three weeks ago I checked all the overhead doors and two others showed some movement. So at some stage, probably in early spring I will do something like Derek is doing or Colin has done.

I have never seen the "deburring thingy" that Colin referred to and Derek knew about - so I have got something useful from the thread.I look forward to Derek's photos of the finished jog.

Thanks to you both - this is what the forum is for for me.

Well here goes! I’m a little nervous having Colin looking over my shoulder at me being a teacher, lecturer and engineer doing a project, but I’m sure his expertise will be able to correct my obvious naive mistakes.
Materials bought from Screwfix: continuous hinges nickel plated grade 7 1000 by 32mm cost £1.99. These will do all the lockers and the bathroom door!
200 pack 3 by 12 Gold screw PZ double countersigned no multi purpose screws £1.99
First remove locker and original hinges. Measure and cut piano hinge to length. If you wish you can counter sink the holes but these hinges are not designed for the leaves to meet flush and when attached will be 3mm apart leaving plenty of room for the screw heads. The end result of this is that it lifts the locker door the same amount. See pic. But it does make the locker look a better cabinet fit.
A useful tip is to snip off the head of a panel pin and use it as a “drill” ! You will be able to centre it in the hole better than a drill. Use it like a drill!
Once you’ve attached the hinge to the door take it to the frame and fix. Put a screw in the middle first and close to see how it fits.[[File:4D558BC4-56A2-4207-9291-5A18EBBEB599.jpeg|none|auto]][[File:F6ED360B-9923-4510-B12A-1B5EB8416FD5.jpeg|none|auto]][[File:F6B160D6-DFFF-4844-A356-E3044E80978F.jpeg|none|auto

Colin, I have read with interest your posts and bow to your undoubted knowledge and expertise. Please forgive me if I sounded officious and please correct me if I make the wrong assumptions in this wonderful Eriba forum. I will offer any information I think appropriate from my experience and hope we can give some assistance to those experiencing the problems we may have had in the past. A very merry Christmas and a happy new year to you and yours and all those who read this s post. God bless and stay safe

Mistake!! The cost of the hinges from Screwfix: £19.99!

Blooming heck are we moving to butchery or taxidermy next - you know I'm a bit squeamish Colin. Kath's good with a blade though, she's from Burnley.!
