I have bought new hinges it is very hard to get door onto lower hinge , hinge off truck will slide on easily. any one have same problem and so what was fix if any ?
It can be challenging to get the door aligned so that both the top and bottom hinges will engage. The weight of the door doesn't help. If you have a cherry picker or similar to support the weight of the door it can help. Try sliding the lower hinge into the door first bringing the top hinge into the door as required continue the lower hinge engagement.

I wind up kicking myself when I DON'T do that.
