Broken Pins On Trailer Doors.

Does anyone have a solution for this?

I'm rebuilding a trailer that looks like somebody stepped on it for the grandkids, no real good stuff for them yet. Both rear doors had one broken pin, I fixed one and took pics of the second when I thought about it. Took about 20 minutes and that was with figuring it out time. You cut off the old hinge pin flush. Drill a hole with 1/32 bit and pin vise on the centerlines of where the old pin was, just takes patience and a good eye, has to be right in the middle of the door or it could break through one side or the other. Then take a paper clip or small brad and glue it in the hole, I put super glue accelerator in the hole then on the pin, you could probably jam it in the hole with no glue if it fits snug enough but not too tight.. Then cut off the pin with sidecutters the same length as the remaining pin. May have to drill or dig out the old piece of pin on the trailer.
