How to fix door hinges - cupboard cabinet repair

Being a single mum living in a rental, this has been super helpful, thank you for your easy to follow instructions on how to fix the "holes" as yes....... my son leaned on the door and ripped it off making big holes inside the cupboard.

Superglue and cornflour….it’s instant and rock solid. You can drill and screw it easily and it’s white!

That mix and scrape technique is truly ASMR 👨🏻‍🎨✨

One word of warning. If tapping a plug, dowel or anything else into a blind hole using a hammer in particle board, make absolutely sure that it's supported firmly on the opposite side or there is a significant danger of busting through and wrecking the laminate on the other side as there's often only a couple of millimetres of material. It's done properly here, but I can imagine some circumstances, such as using the same technique on the side of a cabinet, where this might not be the case and then you have to be very careful.

Bill is the ultimate arsenal to have at your fingertips!!!

Thank you so much! Can't believe we lived with loose hinges for three years. Tonight I can sleep so well!

The third option was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you ❤

I’ve used no more nails along with the thin dowels. It’s worked a treat for me on the doors that I’ve repaired.

Great video, thank you. Our oldest daughter and family purchased a home with a huge kitchen bar area that has several doors not attached so this will help me make the necessary repairs. Our son in-law works quite a bit.

Such good description of process. The first two examples were known to me, but I'm glad of the third example. Great work, dude!

Really helpful. Solid information to attain more lasting repairs. Hadn’t thought of the masonry plugs in wood or more difficult material like particle board or MDF. Thanks!

Never thought of using Bondo for that application. Also never heard of touch-up paint for melamine. I'll need to look into that. Finally a reason to not (TOTALLY) hate particle board cabinets. Thanks.

Excellent no-nonsense video that moves along at a good pace. I hadn't thought of using masonry wall plugs on laminate cupboards before but I had a few wooden dowels lying around. Fortunately they fitted perfectly into the worn screw-holes (after a bit of persuasion with a hammer) and the hinges on my kitchen cupboard now work perfectly. I've since taken your advice and bought a small pack of assorted masonry plugs so that I'm well prepared for any future loose hinges which don't have perfectly dowel-sized holes. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to post this video.

My father showed me 60 years ago how to solve this problem. Remove screw. Take a fireplace wooden match's and and fill the hole and break off. I have used this also on 80" solid core door hinges also and it works like a charm.

Thanks Bill. You're like the Handyman Dad I never had!

best vid on repairing the chipboard. THANK YOU !!!

Love your videos, always looking forward to when you put new ones out. Keep up the good work!

Love it, Bill. Thank you. Yes, I always learn something from your videos.

Good suggestions. Some hinges have those big fat screws. I used some of those plastic inserts used for license plates and they worked great. I just used a drill bit just smaller than the insert and tapped them in with a hammer and voilà! Hope that helps someone else! Thanks for the great tutorials!

Top man. I had this problem to solve...and you provided the exact solution (grade 8, 16mm screws). Cheers man.
