hi all my first post hope you can help

iv lived in my home for 2 years and have had this same problem with a few doors its a wimpy home so if you live in 1 you'll no the hinges I'm talking about

there plastic and click into each other the problem is the screws wont hold them and they keep pulling out some 1 suggested using match sticks in the holes to fill em and that hasn't worked longer screws wont work because after about an inch the door becomes hollow

any advice much appreciated

cheers dave

insert some dowell,or try putting a red plug int each hole and see whether that works?
 
Matchsticks or similar wood shavings glued in (PVA) and wedged in tight - and allowed to dry.

Then re-drill a small pilot hole
