Junk - holes too small for mounting screws

The hinge mounting screws do not go in the holes - manufacturing defect. One other reviewer had this issue I suggest you avoid them they can not be made to work

Purchased similar item elsewhere but didn't work (holes to big for screws). This one was cheaper and appears to solve the problem.

Perfect!

Great idea

It was a nightmare getting it on, but once it's on, it's a dream, finally repaired the hanging door which no handyman could fix. I read recent reviews about the screws being too small for the holes, I also thought so, and I was tried to enlarge the holes but the screws ended up slipping through.
