Usually the door hindges are bent. (Do not lean on the door when it is open)
They can be straightened. I have done several with good results. Haven't seen
worn out pins so far, but I suppose it could happen. Once the hindge is
straight sometimes a spacer is needed behind it for final allignment. E-mail
me off-list about straightening them for you.
