do some of these bolts also carry the weight of the door?
what if the springs on the lower hinges (that are supposed to keep an upward pressure on the door, supporting its weight) are weaker than necessary or somehow failed and went unnoticed... would that put too much burden on the bolts and other fastening mechanisms and cause them to fail in turn over time?
