Wally,

 

Absolutely a visual check.  Some hinges are very tight without pins, and
will circumvent the wiggle test.  It's just best to look.

I've had several instances where grand lids were not attached and no one
bothered to tell me. Now I wiggle it a bit from side to side as I lift it a
couple of inches, before lifting it up all the way. I keep some hinge pins
in my tool bag. Sometimes they have to be bent a bit for a tighter fit. In
the absence of a proper hinge pin, the customer may have a nail that will
work.

However, as I think about it, a visual check beforehand would be better,
right?
