Instructions

  1. How to Repair Spring-Hinged Eyeglass Frames

    • 1

      Examine the spring hinge using a magnifying glass.

    • 2

      Press the safety pin against the base of the screw from the underside of the spring-hinge.

    • 3

      Maintain pressure on the safety pin while backing the screw out. The temple hole and the chassis hole remain properly aligned throughout the process.

    • 4

      Re-insert the screw. Retreat the safety pin so the tension on the spring-hinge does not slip before the screw is seated.

    • 5

      Dab a little nail polish on the screw's head. Let it dry.

    • 6

      Cover the eye glass lens with a cleaning cloth. Spray a small amount of WD-40 or another lubricant on the screw. Wait one minute. Wipe off the excess.
