Repair Front Door Stripped Hinge Screw Holes

splats
8 years ago

Our house was built in 1947, concrete block. The door frame looks to be 3/4" pine against concrete block. The top hinge (3 hinge front door) screws have stripped causing the top hinge to be loose and letting the door sag a little.

Unfortunitly I think someone already tried to use Tapcons and stripped those in the concrete block also. I tried using those little metal shimes you put in the screw holes but that didn't work.

So I am looking for some ideas how to fix this. I thought about something I could fill the screw holes with that would as hard as wood and redrill. Anyway looking for ideas.
