Broken Front Door Hinge

[Donjamin]

We have noticed recently that our front door to the trailer has been “snapping” when we open and close the door. This morning I took a look and discovered that on the upper hinge, the bracket was broken along with the hinge pin was broken in half. I drilled out the rivets holding the broken bracket in place and have eliminated for now the cracking/snapping sound when the door is opened or closed.

I went online this morning and ordered a new hinge assembly from Trekwood. Hard to take that they want $90 for a new hinge.

Has anyone had a similar issue with their front door and are there any thing I should be aware of when I install the new hinge when it arrives?
