I have a problem with the top hinge on my storm door—it's damaged and causes the door to pop out of place when I open or close it. I only noticed the issue too late, and it looks like the metal where the hinge pins go has torn open. I've attached a picture of the broken hinge along with a lower hinge that seems fine. I'd love to find a way to fix this without having to replace the entire door!

These hinges aren’t really designed for repairs. I’d suggest trying some JB Weld to hold it in place as a temporary solution. It might not be perfect, but it could work for now!
Could you take a pic of the inside of the hinge when the door’s open? Sometimes, it might just be a loose screw that needs tightening.
I posted a couple more pictures. It looks like none of the screws are loose (except mine, haha). Check them out here: https://imgur.com/a/9dbnD6d
