Thanks for letting me see my crush. I can wear my eyeglasses now. 😁

Spring hinges are old out dated and stupid..there are thousands of frames you can buy with having to use spring hinge glasses that have problems way to often!

very helpful....thanks

this is not a spring hinge replacement , this is a temple arm replacement. i have a broken spring hinge which has snapped off inside.

how do you replace a spring rod when the tanghead snaps off in the box ?

Thankyou so much for this. Will be saving a perfectly good pair of glasses :)

WHAT AN AWESOME AWESOME VIDEO....IVE been searching for 20mins. YOU REALLY NEED TO MAKE MORE VIDEOS, YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER....THANK YOU

lol, no tools.. ummm... EXCEPT.. you'll need these TOOLS!!!!

This helps a lot. The funny this was that my glasses weren’t even broken until I wanted to see what the screw did so I took it apart 😅. But now I know how to put it back so thanks.

My 'tang' completely snapped out of the arm. I don't know how this is possibly repairable as glue or solder would fix the hinge in place, and, if glue, most likely snap off again later. Shame my glasses are so old any markings on them have completely worn off and I have no idea what could possibly be a suitable replacement arm for them, or where to even order any.

I was using dimes, credit cards and all manner of paper products, trying to wedge that spring open, using a screw is brilliant!

thank you so much! you saved me! Thank you!

lost me at 'no tools needed' (clamp) and 'use a screw' (size of the screw im trying to put into the hole itself as if an extra screw the same size would just be lying around.)

Whoever invented spring hinges deserves a special place in hell! It’s ridiculous

I tried to call your phone number, the 1-866 # and it won't go thru. I have a pair of ray bans that need fixing. Don't want to mail these to you if you aren't still fixing glasses. Please respond, thank you.

Paper clip too.

All I can add is a vice is not a common tool in your average Joe's tool arsenal. Definitely wouldn't fall in specialty tool category & the only reason I mention this is I recently broke mine & half. Glasses take priority. Lol. Great content.

Great video. Worked perfectly!! Much better than other fixes using paperclips etc to hold spring open. Screw stays in place better because it has square end. I used a small screwdriver clamped in the vise rather than a screw to tension the spring.

Awesome! Thank You.

Thank you, got them back together

After losing 2 screws and cussing enough to make a trucker blush, I found this video. No vise and no more screws, so I used needle nose vice grips and jammed the broken end of the old temple in to hold open. This was ideal for my glasses because anything lager than the temple wouldn’t let the temple slide in enough. But I finally got it thanks to this video. Thanks

DONE! Thanks.. ! NO vise, so I had to do the following: 1. Drill SMALL hole in desk, just large enough, to hold smallest upholstery needle head, I got. 2. Force needle head, in hole, insuring it is TIGHT! 3. Pull back spring loaded hinge with the needle and insert small end of ANYTHING that does NOT slip out, while working the screw, back in. 4. Place ANY SMALL STRONG magnet, onto opposite end of eyeglass screwdriver, of the screw, insure it holds the weight of the screw, and place the screw in the hole and give it slight turn, till, it holds by itself, remove magnet, and check screw for properly being set. 5. Refresh your coffee that's now cold and hand over your work to the 14 year old boy, who fell asleep with them on his face. 6. Then, go make him replace an old outlet, using proper tools and test equipments, including, explaining where to properly place a GFCI in a circuit and how only 1 should be on a circuit and should be 1st inline from the fuse / circuit control panel, blah blah blah. Then, tell him, to wet his fingers and place them in the outlet, to see if he's listening. NO! DON'T DO IT!

Absolutely superb, thank you I had been wrestling with my specs for ages, using paper clips and all sorts. The idea of detaining the spring with another screw was excellent, since nothing else has the requisite bite.. thanks again

Back of your hand, and all the card board cut outs looks real good.

You can fix them yourself and not this way. Screw this guy. How dare him charge a penny for a shit design.

In a vise? You mean my glasses are so technical that I need advise? What crap. How can you support the crap of optometry for this crap. The screw tots out I spring loaded crap glasses. And I have a replacement pair of safety glasses and a brick hit me in the head and they wanted more than what it costed for the glasses and lenses to fix them and I was so mad. I spent days trying to fix them. I have a video coming soon

Some people use a paper clip to hold it open

Thank you so much, you have no idea how many people you have helped. God bless you.

A 4 year old video help me fix my eye glasses today. Thanks!

This is the first time I've ever commented. The screw to hold the spring hinge open was ingenious! I was using paper clip like everyone else said to use and it kept popping out. I was trying all kinds of things for HOURS. Once I tried the crew, I completed fixing my wife's glasses in minutes. THANKS! God bless!

Thank you for your video, you are an excellent teacher. I followed your instructions EXACTLY. I was able to replace a broken spring hinge temple with a new temple on my Ray-Ban glasses, which saved me $140 for a new frame. Thanks very much!

Thanks very much. This was incredibly helpful, and was able to get my glasses fixed quickly.

Thanks. Hoping you still answer but, mine has a small screw on the side of the temple arm, next to the edge where the hinge would go. Could I possibly make the spring expand by unscrewing it? I don't have a screwdriver small enough for it, but if I can, I could buy one. Unfortunately that's easier than your method, mine's hinge doesn't have a small hole where I could place another screw to hold it.

You act like they are all the same. They aren't.

I don't think that this is a replacement because you are not replacing it you are putting a new temple with a spring hinge already there, replacing a hinge would be getting the part and putting it on the temple

If you don't think a Vice & a Tweezers are tools then you are Truly an idiot!!!! Period!!!

The spring on my hinge is too powerful that if you pull the ring it will break it 😐

Great video...The temple arm on my glasses does not spring back so I assume the spring has broken. How do I repair this? Can I buy new spring units? New temple arms? Thanks

Worked great, once I saw how it worked I used Cat 5 solid core wires, wrapped(looped) it in the hole, pulled it open, wedged it, then pulled wire loop out. Put glasses together and screw went right in. Removed wedge. Thanks for the advice!

smart way realy

Nicely explained 👍

GREAT video

The situation that I'm in is the tang became detached from the hinge housing- I've been able to find the spring hinge assembly as a complete unit, but how are they attached to the temple? Are they just epoxied in? Or soldered?

Thanks, worked great!

Thanks for the vid, was angry after trying to put it back together. Your video made it easy to understand, thank you.

Thank you so very much. It took me 5 minutes after an hours fiddling around.

Very nice! Thank you!

I am doing this for years..
