Help re-hang a door!
Hello, my door to the garage had stripped out hinge screw holes, so I pulled to door off (darn thing weighs a ton) and I drilled/filled with doweling. It looks great. NOW, however... how do I redrill holes and remount the door so that it fits correctly? In hindsight, maybe I should have done one hinge at a time with the door still hung, even though it was sagging a bit? Also, I have two self closing hinges so there was of course no way to just pull a hinge pin and remove the door... I've got hinges attached to the door and now need to redrill holes in the jamb and rehang. ALL ADVICE is most appreciated everyone!

Got a picture so we can figure out what type hindges you have.
Not often you see self closing hindges on a garage door.

Hi joecaption:
It's the door to my house that exits into the garage. They are Stanley hinges with 'no pin' and easy to adjust, but don't come apart. Thanks for your ideas.
