Strengthen door hinge the area where the screw goes into the door.
Hi the holes that i put screws in are worn i have pushed a matchstick in in the past i thought about putting glue to get a better hold. Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks

or drill out to 9mm and hammer and glue 10mm dowel in,leave to dry then drill and fix new screws
 
A matchstick (or two), or similar slices of timber wedged in and glued, will actually be stronger than the timber it replaced

Or a wider screw?

Don't make this job more complicated than it needs to be!

Found this little site the other week. Personally I think its very, very amateurish but there is an article on internal door frame refurbishment. It may be of help but as I say very amateurish site.
