How L=Iw holds for an angular momentum of a rotating door when it's not about axis of symmetry?

$L=Iw$ only holds when a rigid body is rotating about axis of symmetry. But I saw from multiple practice problems that calculates the angular momentum of a door rotating about the hinge using $L=Iw$. But the hinge is not the axis of symmetry of the door. How does $L=Iw$ hold in this case?
