HINGE REPLACEMENT KIT

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Field of Invention

The present invention is related to a kit that is configured to assist in the repair and replacement of hinges.

Description of Related Art

Door hinges often need repair work where damage is incurred by the hinge or the holes associated with the attachment of the hinge into the doorjamb. Damage to the hinges relate to the holes that originally tapped to attach the hinge to the doorjamb. The hinges may become loose and therefore make a door ineffective. The hinges are removed therefore leaving holes in the doorjamb that need to be repaired before a replacement hinge and door are into place. It would therefore be advantageous to have a complete kit to provide the necessary tools and materials to effectively replace and restore a hinge opening.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a hinge repair kit that includes: a sander; hinge plate covers; glue; filler; and a scraper to scrape the final finish in the doorjamb. The sander preferably includes a block sander.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present invention relates to a hinge replacement kit that includes various components to provide an effective toolkit to replace and repair hinges. The kit includes a block sander, hinge plate covers, glue, filler and a scraper to scrape the final finish in the doorjamb. These components are provided in a complete kit to allow for the repair and replacement of a door hinge.

FIG. 1 depicts a block sander that is used to sand the surface of Block Sander 100 that is used to sand the surface of a doorjamb. It provides smooth edge after removal of an existing hinge. Further components of the replacement kit include Hinge Plates 22, which is shown in FIG. 2B with a side view provided into A. Further, a Strike Plate Cover 25 is also provided and shown in FIG. 2. These items are applied over the finished surface after appropriate sanding and filling has been accomplished. A further part of the hinge replacement kit is a Filler 32 along with Glue 30 shown in FIG. 3. During use the user removes the hinge, sands the surface, applies glue to the screw holes and then places a wooden blank into place and then provides fill with the filler to smooth over the surface provided. Once the filler and surface have been secured further sanding may be required to smooth the surface over of the doorjamb to enable the placement of a door hinge. The blanks are in the form of Hinge Covers 22 shown in FIG. 2. FIG. 4 depicts a Scraper 35 with a straight edge 37. This hand scraper 35 again allows a user to remove glue and filler from the surface to finish the doorjamb repair.

The foregoing descriptions of specific embodiments of the present invention have been presented for purposes of illustration and description. They are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed, and obviously many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. The exemplary embodiment was chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the invention and its practical application, to thereby enable others skilled in the art to best utilize the invention and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated.
