rehinge
Restore door swing
To rehinge is to attach new hinges to something or reattach it to existing hinges.
Doors, gates, cabinets, and lids that have fallen off or been removed get rehinged: We had to rehinge the gate after the storm.
The word implies restoration—putting something back in working order rather than installing it for the first time.
