If you have a loose hinge and you can’t tighten it because the screws just spin in place, the screw holes are probably stripped. If the loose holes are in a solid piece of wood like a door frame, drill them out and fill them with wooden dowels to create a new surface for the screws to go into. If you want a quicker method that doesn’t require boring out the holes, try filling the stripped holes with golf tees, matchsticks or toothpicks, wood anchors, or cyanoacrylate glue. Use longer screws in the loose holes if they are just starting to get stripped.
