Cabinet door repairs

Apr 09, 2015 9 Replies

Common problem I come across is kitchen cabinets where the doors have been opened beyond the limit of the hinge and the euro screws have pulled out of the chipboard carcass.



This leaves two gaping holes where each hinge was.



I've been using repair kits for a while, ordered online @ around £5 a set + delivery.



Toolsatan now stock them for £2:20!

These things are the answer to a maidens prayer!


Holy cow Batman. I was using car body filler to do that job years ago, and that's a fiver for enough to repair several kitchens!

You do have to factor THM's time - if he has one to repair, it's either bugger about for 20 minutes mixing, applying, waiting, sanding.

Or stick one of those on for 2.20

Me too but this is faster, neater, and stronger.

And can be used to fix new doors to old carcasses when the hinge holes don't line up. Brilliant

Isn't that the motto of the Olympic games?

Is the correct answer!

And the customer pays £4:99 anyway.

The customer is female in 8/10 cases :-)

I'm sure they must be, but I ended up using a piano hinge on one door as the load of the bin inside kept muching up the hinges and the door.
