How Many Door Hinge Cage Nuts Do I Need?

Each door hinge requires two cage nuts.

Why Replace Rusted Door Hinge Cage Nuts?

The door hinge mounting area is subject to years of moisture, corrosion, and repeated use. When the original cage nuts deteriorate, securing the hinge hardware and properly aligning the door can become difficult.

Replacing damaged cage nuts during restoration helps address the underlying mounting problem rather than attempting to reuse compromised original hardware.

This repair is especially useful when restoring a cab, replacing door sheet metal, or repairing rust damage around the hinge pockets.
