    The only reason why I thought it might be an issue is because the lower door pin was almost out of the hinge.I think I will pull the pins and emery cloth and high temp grease the suckers.And I'll keep an eye on them.If they still back out I'll pick up some slick pins.:yes:

    I think the emery cloth and grease will get the job done for you just fine.

    Trust me, if it really bothers you then you will start checking it all the time. Just tap them down with the scraper when you notice it start to lift up-it happens over time not all at once.

    Sounds like new retirement is giving you more time to notice stuff :)

    It use to bother me. Now like over cleaning the stove in the early years, it doesnt matter that much any more.

    Give em a good clean and lube. I do notice it happens more when the door squeels a little when opening and closing-dry and binding a bit.

    Or, buy the slick pins.
