So the door is only hanging by sheet metal clamped between the captive plate and the hinge? I would think that whatever was captivating the anchor plate would be somehow secured to the pillar and also clamped between the plate and the hinge. Does anyone have any pictures of the pillar, a cross section or cutaway view? > The only possibilities I can think of the would still allow movement when > everything is tightened are stripped screw or anchor threads or rust inside > the hinge pillar. I replaced the the screws a few years ago. The screws and threads are all in great condition. The hinges work fine.
