Brief Description:  Fixed rivets on right door hinges

drilled out pop rivet that the nail pulled all the way through the rivet before the head broke off. Replaced it with a soft aluminum solid rivet. Had to use dremel to ream out behind the rivet hole where the hole was halfway into door frame. Pounded the soft rivet until it was at least 1.5 the diameter of the rivet. Drilled out some small washers to the exact size of the pop rivet and tried riveting the 2nd hinge with the washer on the back side of the door frame and again the rivet pulled through the steel washer. these rivets are not the correct design for this application. Replaced center rivet with soft solid aluminum rivets and only pulled the pop rivet part way until it pulled tight on hinge but stopped before it pulled trough and then pounded out the rivet nail
