yes that was what i thought at first so i purchased some pins and sent them to him but he says its not the pins its the hinges!?!?!?!? I have just been reading up on it and none of the articles i have read say anything about needing to replace hinges , only the trouble getting the pins out and re-aligning the doors??? god i wish i was home , when things like this happen!!!!!!!
