Have a hard plastic doll house with a door that has come off. Is there a way to get the little plastic prongs (one side of the hinge) back into the little space where they belong without breaking off the prongs, thus door will no longer stay on toy, and I dont want to break them? My little great granddaughter would appreciate any help you could give to me.

The shutters are painted black.
If your gentle you should be able to snap them back in place. Be slow and gentle. If they do break do what Jewellmartin suggests.
Try using a bit of emery paper or a manicure file to smooth the edges to so that it fits in the slots, sand the slots a little bit to. I had a bead that I couldn't get the elastic through so I used a piece of floral wire and used it as a file and it worked it may work on the slots, I used 18 guage wire.
Thank you I will try that
