I am replacing all the brass door furniture throughout the house with
satin nickel. The hinges are the same size (75mm) but the outer
screw holes don't 100% match the original. What are my options to
ensure the hinges are fixed securely?

TIA


Pack the old screw holes with matchsticks.

Re align the hole with a small drill bit and use a longer screw
