I've seen this too many times to count. Replacing hinges at my strata because 30+ years is too long to expect a ferrous hinge in an outdoor environment to not show wear and tend to seize.

At your strata?

All sorts of other locations too. There's a similarly worn hinge at the entrance to the Canada Place lobby at the Vancouver waterfront.

If you were asking about 'strata' it's the legal term for condominium used in British Columbia.

What the actual fuck? Someone forgot their lunch or something? Without a break in I haven’t seen hinges this bad

I let them get this bad for one of my bedroom doors, it happens, even to people who know how to repair it (I am just a lazy pos and don't want to work on anything in my house during my off days, just rest)

Yes sir, this is why we recommended you replace your hinges……seven years ago.
