Great video Chris; it was a tremendous help, but after five hours trying to thread the screws into the predrilled holes in the hinges, I have only succeed in securing two of the six hinges. I notice your video quickly skimmed over that task; any chance you have tips or a more focused video?
@CynicalPerm

I was having trouble with this too. A little tricky because there's no track that guides the screw from one side of the hinge to the other. Make sure the corner of the hinge has fully hooked into that groove in your side wall. Support the door as you're working. Someone mentioned further down that screwing this in will take some brute force so you probably will want to use a drill. Make sure your screw is aligned with the exit point. If the screw is still locking up it may be worth checking that youre able to thread it through the hinge when it's off the door.

I used another tool to “pry” the hinges up, from between the door and the wall part of the hinge. It helped me thread the screws, as the part of the wall the hinge attaches to, gets in the way. I had to hold the hinge in a pry up position, if that makes sense.

Three tips: First, it’s okay to use a variable speed drill with the clutch (use one with a clutch) and speed control on the lowest setting. Second, run the bolts through the hinges before assembly. This wears some of the finish down beforehand and the bolts are easier to insert. Third, the small screws and the bolts are not the same size Phillips head. Make sure you have a #2 and a #3.
@mccalejk2
2 жыл бұрын
Going to have to disagree with point #2. I found putting the bolts in first made it more difficult to attach the hinges to the sides. Maybe you meant insert them and take them out? I didn’t have any issues putting the bolts on after the fact.

You did a wonderful job on how to assemble. Should add how to use a screw driver to line up the hinge holes, and use soapy water to slide the walls on which will require less mallet pounding.

My 5x2 Craftsmen Shed had two plastic right angle pieces to screw into the roof with 4 screws on each side. Still have 6 screws left. Still trying to figure out where they go. Not sure why thy changed the roof piece. My guess it was cheaper to use the plastic then metal. Whose knows it looks great. Thank you.

I had trouble getting the provided 1/4” machine screw into the threaded hole of the door hinge, no matter how I tried. So I used a slightly smaller #12-24 x 1 1/2” stainless steel machine screw with a matching #12-24 stainless steel nut. It’s a tight fit getting the nut in, but with a little patience it’s doable. I did have to use a thin head wrench (7/16” I think) that I purchased from Home Depot to tighten the nut. So if you can’t get the door hinges to work with the provided machine screws, try using a smaller machine screw with a matching nut.

I put together the smaller version of this shed 4’x2’ with roof that raises and had zero problems with the hinges and screws/bolts. HOWEVER, with this large version, I had the same issue experienced by others in that the bolts would not thread into the opposing hole…no matter what I tried. I put the bolts in before mounting them on the doors to make sure they would thread. It will go into the primary hole just fine but absolutely WILL NOT screw in any further. I even called Craftsman to complain 🙄 and was told to take photos of “the problem” and email to them. I ended up mounting the doors anyway and am hoping they stay on. I might try a drill once the battery charges because a screwdriver ain’t gonna do it!
