As they break stuff around the house, I try to fix it.  This is how I fixed my bathroom door.   One day, Monkey Boy decided to swing with his full weight, hanging from the door handle of the bathroom door.  Not surprisingly, the screws holding the hinge to the 30-year old bathroom door decided that they'd had enough, and gave up.  The screws pulled out of the door and the holes were permanently stripped.   Like most ordinary folks, we enjoy privacy during bathroom time, so I needed to fix it. I had tried the toothpick and glue method shown here in the past on another door in the house when something similar happened involving a gaggle of giggling teenagers.  It did not work well for me, so I decided to try a more robust method.   I'll be drilling out the stripped holes and gluing in dowels to fill the holes.

I tried to glue it back with what I had on hand (Goop) but it wasn't strong enough to hold the weight of the door. It would be easy enough to move the hinge higher or lower to match different holes that are not damaged if it weren't for the fact that the hinge is inset into the door and I'd like to avoid trying to router out a new space for it.
