Our painted mdf cupboard doors (size 2250mm x 665mm, 18mm thick) have been failing at the hinges (overlay concealed euro type) for some time now with the screws being pulled out of the doors and the hinges sagging as well. It is becoming somewhat dangerous as have 3 kids running around.
The doors are 8 years old and there are 4 hinges per door which look like standard ones from wickes. On checking Blum hinge website appears should have been 5 hinges for weight/size of doors.
Is there a quick fix around to repair these or should I replace the hinges with say these ones from Blum:

And do you think should install an additional hinge? I am hoping don't have to get new doors!
Any advice really appreciated.
