Rear door hinge torque?

Hi all and a very happy New year I'm just about to put replacement doors on the red zepplin and having stripped down the hinges to repaint I'm just wondering if there's a torque setting for the rear hinge pins (can't dig anything on here or t'internet) set up is torq head set screw, hinge (upper), brass bush, hinge (lower) spring, nyloc nut thanks in advance

As the door will sit on the hinges just with under its' own weight, and they're designed to rotate, they don't need to be very tight at all. The 'tightness' is provided by the spring and the nylocs are mainly to stop the nuts falling off. Darren
