Is there a trick to getting the top door hinges through the small opening in the door frame? I am having trouble getting them through.

I can relate, I know with the "check" springs in I beleive it helps if the hinge is in the open postion. No matter it still a tight fit. You sure hate to do it after you've painted everything!

I used a deburring tool and took a little off the edges mine slip in and out easily and you can't see the difference. If you don't and you paint then later have to pull them they are going to damage the paint.

I opened the hinge all the way and was able to wiggle it through the opening. It doesn't quite fit, but it went through.
Thanks for all your help.
