# How to Fix a Door Hinge That Pulled From the Frame
The only components that secure door hinges to the door frame are screws. These screws must not only support the weight of the door but also prevent the door hinges from shifting. If enough pressure is applied to the hinges, the screws can pull away from the frame and damage it. Fortunately, this problem can often be solved with a straightforward and inexpensive solution.
