Re-screwing hinge into cupboard

AlgernonSourgravy · 13 Apr 2019

Hi

Bit of a novice. Just wondered what was the best way to tackle this. Top hinge has come away from cupboard panel, and the wood is damaged where the screw once was. Best way to repair the wood so the hinge can be re-screwed?

Thanks.

look up "hinge repair plates"
and make sure the screws are no more than about 13mm

Drill a suitable size hole and insert beech dowel covered in a strong wood glue (I used two part wood filler) cut flush with the surface, drill pilot hole and the fixing should bite into the dowel.
