When hinges or pivots are broken, it is recommended to consider using a continuous hinge instead. It is also known as a piano hinge, that helps distribute the weight of the door along its entire length, minimizing stress on the door frame and ensuring a stable, secure operation, making it ideal for heavy doors or high-traffic areas due to its increased durability and strength compared to standard hinges. It also prevents dragging and sagging that helps maintaining the proper alignment.
