[Zmagnette] [Thelist] Door Hinges

[Jeff Schlemmer]

You wouldn't want to use a Rivnut in an application like this where an
enormous amount of force is applied.  There's a reason the screws are
bedded into a tool -steel plate.  Worst case scenario, a cold rolled steel
plate could be made to replace a damaged one.
