rehinged

Door swings again

Rehinged means fitted with new hinges or having hinges reattached.

A door that has been rehinged swings properly again.

Figuratively, someone who was unhinged—mentally unstable or erratic—might be described as rehinged after regaining composure: After a week off, she felt rehinged and ready to work.
