I have the most problems with the Baldwin consoles that have the two hinges but the pins are part of the hinge and you have to line up both just right or it won't go back together. I usually have to have the client hold the right end while I position the pins and push in. Very tough for one man to do.

Putting it back in is what creates the problem. The hinges have to be lined up perfectly. If they are not, it is easy to bend the long hinge pin as you try to push it back in. Bruce's idea is fantastic. I hope it makes it into the Journal's Tips sections. It's not usually hard for me. Pushing it back in is done with one end in a small Vise Grip pliers. Yes, the hinges must be lined up. But, when you're "jiggling" them slightly while pushing in the pin, it works. -- JF -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
