Golf Tee
If your interior door’s hinges have wiggled loose, a simple fix is possible with nothing more than a golf tee. Remove the hinges and the door. Then, in the hole where the screws were, lightly hammer a common golf tee into the hole. Cut the excess, then put the door back on. The golf tee gives the screw something to bite into.
