To anyone who might read this, you can always buy dowels or cylindrical stock in various sizes at your local home improvement store, then drill out the hole to whatever size dowel you have. Might actually result in a stronger bond since the hole will be regular vs irregular for a hole that has become stripped from wear.
Hey thanks we have a cabinet door in our break room at work that is just like this and toothpicks are too small to fix it thanks again this will do the trick!
Another tip unrelated is if you wanted to use a non concrete screw to attach a picture or something use a mason bit to drill into the concrete and then use a dowel slightly larger (you may have to taper it) you can then tap the dowel into the brick hole and use a regular wood screw to attach to.
I would suggest getting a package of golf tees. They are tapered so you put in the hole until tight and snap it off. Works great.

At 4 minutes and 17 seconds it sounds like Tom's had a bad day! Nice video mind.
Worked perfectly for a kitchen cabinet. Thanks!
Great to hear!
Perfect idea, I am sure it will fix my cabinet loose screw.

Going to have to look for some of these I’m in the exact same position with the same shoe cabinet right now
I will have to remember that fix...Cheers
GREAT video! I'm about to use these tips right now 👍
Thanks.

I will give it a go, exactly same thing happened to my shoe cabinet also. Cheers
My cabinet is still working fine after this repair. The hardest part for me was getting the screw to catch. Now it's in, it's stronger than ever!
@@UTILITARIANTVUK what type of glue did you use? That you were able to not wait 24 hours
@@cheyenneobregon184 it was gorilla wood glue.
is it possible to do the same thing on an MDF hole?
I reckon so.
Cant find these dowels in the market. Any help?
