To rehang door hinges, first remove the door by unscrewing the hinges. Align the hinges with the door frame, ensuring they are level. Screw the hinges back into the frame securely. Lift the door into place and reattach it to the hinges. Check for alignment and swing the door to ensure smooth opening and closing. Adjust if necessary by loosening screws and repositioning the hinges slightly.
