Hi all

got a used paneled door to hang in my spare bedroom in place of the
original one which just wasn't there when we bought the house. I need
to fill the mortises for the hinge on the door (or the jamb, doesn't
matter, really, but the door needs to be repainted after I'm done
anyway so I figured I'd do that) ...

....
Are the existing hinge mortises so far off that you can't re-use the
locations?


As OP said, one or the other pair -- it's old work door in existing
frame so they don't match up...
