I need to move a hinge on an Andersen storm door and noticed that they had rivets - what kind of rivet is this? They say the size is 3/16 X 9/32. Is it a pop rivet or a blind rivet? I don't know anything about rivets.

Here's a video https://youtu.be/rJP34RkoHe0?t=108

I'd like to just buy some rivets to move it rather than buying an entire hinge assembly. If they are hard to get - is there a simpler replacement I can use?

I call them "drive rivets", as you simply slip them into the hole and drive the pin in. They're readily available at well-stocked hardware stores. Andersen uses 1/8" and 3/16" sizes, if I recall correctly.

For your application you could also simply use corrosion-resistant sheet metal screws, or, as Jimmy Fix-it suggests, pop rivets.
