Mine were super tight on our XP4 and thought that was going to happen. I drilled a small hole an oiled them and kept working it open and closed. They loosened way up. I have another set that are fine with no issues.

I'm still waiting for a final answer from Pro Armor. They have been good so far on responding Very Quickly...
Where did you drill the hole at ?? Thought about that too. But I wanted to find out if the pin they used is a Solid pin or a roll pin, so the lube gets to the bottom of the hinge. Thanks for your reply to my problem...

I used to be Product Dev. Supervisor there and the hinges are stainless and solid. Drilling a hole might work for some issues but if the hinges are not aligned close to the same pivot then they will be tight. Have the door hinges cracked yet? Usually they are pretty durable...

Thank you for replying. And yes, one of the hinges has cracked and broke away from the door frame itself. It is the lower hinge on the drivers side. And now that the hinge has broken away from the frame it self, the door opens very easily. And the other door is tight, but not as bad. So it may be that the doors when they are put together ( welded ) they are not lined up properly. So what they are telling me is that they wouldn't cover the doors 100% under warranty, but would sell me a door frame for a $100 w/free shipping. But then I would have to pay someone to weld up the hinges and then have the frame re-powder coated. So that would be another $150.
I'm trying to explain that to them. I wish they would send me the entire frame so I could just bolt it back to the machine and put the panels back on and be done with it. So, thank you for the Info on the hinge material, I couldn't get them to tell me that. Is there any other Tips that you could give me on who to speak with on this subject, I'm currently speaking with Amberly Sally. She has been good on responding until now, she hasn't returned my calls or emails in the last week. Thank you again for the Info.
