Re: bosch cooker hinges
sounds like the socket is faulty also
from what I can think anywhere you remove material is going to make it worse

The only hinges where there is that kind of ‘mod’ that i know of are certain older fridge door hinges ?
Re: bosch cooker hinges
Look carefully and determine if the door is lower than the horizontal when fully opened. If so, get a large straight screwdriver and with it pointing downwards put the tip of the blade (edge on) in the hinge socket so it just goes behind the sockets lower edge by a few mm’s . Now push the screwdriver handle upwards and towards the front of the oven as if you are shutting the door. A few gentle pushes should do it. Do both sides and refit door. 90{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of the time the hinges will snap the door shut perfectly. The other 10{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} will be new hinges.
