Door hinge pin keeps coming up. How to solve? (lemmy.world)

Looking for help in solving a problem where the lower door hinge pin on my entry door keeps creeping up and causing the deadbolt to become slightly misaligned making it more difficult to lock. Reading online, I keep coming across suggestions of tightening a screw that’s supposed to lock the pin in place but my hinges don’t seem to have that screw.

Anyone have any other ideas on how to fix this problem?

Superglue.

That doesn’t sound like good solution if I ever need to remove the door.

Good thinking.

I’m out of ideas.
