Cupboard Hinge fallen off

[TheEsoo]

Greetings all,

one of the screws in a kitchen cupboard 'door' hinge had worked itself out a few weeks ago, basically the hole had enlarged itself over the years so it wouldn't go back in and stay in.

Now, the weight of the cupboard door on one screw at the top has pulled it out.

My thoughts were a) find another longer hinge for the top and make two new holes

and, er, that's about it.

What do you guys recommend?

Thanks,

Is there a cupboard next to the one shown? I'm thinking you could drill through the existing holes then secure hinge with two machine screws and nuts going through both cupboards.

Something like this might work for you?

This is just the first link I found, have a search about as there are some slightly different ones about that might be more suitable.

Alas it's the end of the cupboard

Who the hell knew they existed? Amazing!

Metal plate using self taping screws would do the trick
