        "text": "Replacing a door hinge is often the better option when the hinge itself is significantly damaged, such as being bent beyond repair, cracked, severely rusted, or broken. If the screw holes in the door frame or door are extensively stripped and cannot hold new screws securely even with anchors, a full hinge replacement, potentially with a different mounting solution, is also advisable. Replacement ensures structural integrity and proper door function, preventing recurring issues.",
