Being a single mum living in a rental, this has been super helpful, thank you for your easy to follow instructions on how to fix the "holes" as yes....... my son leaned on the door and ripped it off making big holes inside the cupboard.
Excellent no-nonsense video that moves along at a good pace. I hadn't thought of using masonry wall plugs on laminate cupboards before but I had a few wooden dowels lying around. Fortunately they fitted perfectly into the worn screw-holes (after a bit of persuasion with a hammer) and the hinges on my kitchen cupboard now work perfectly. I've since taken your advice and bought a small pack of assorted masonry plugs so that I'm well prepared for any future loose hinges which don't have perfectly dowel-sized holes. Thanks for taking the time and trouble to post this video.
Never thought of using Bondo for that application. Also never heard of touch-up paint for melamine. I'll need to look into that. Finally a reason to not (TOTALLY) hate particle board cabinets. Thanks.
Really helpful. Solid information to attain more lasting repairs. Hadn’t thought of the masonry plugs in wood or more difficult material like particle board or MDF. Thanks!
Great video, thank you. Our oldest daughter and family purchased a home with a huge kitchen bar area that has several doors not attached so this will help me make the necessary repairs. Our son in-law works quite a bit.
Good suggestions. Some hinges have those big fat screws. I used some of those plastic inserts used for license plates and they worked great. I just used a drill bit just smaller than the insert and tapped them in with a hammer and voilà! Hope that helps someone else! Thanks for the great tutorials!
My father showed me 60 years ago how to solve this problem. Remove screw. Take a fireplace wooden match's and and fill the hole and break off. I have used this also on 80" solid core door hinges also and it works like a charm.
One word of warning. If tapping a plug, dowel or anything else into a blind hole using a hammer in particle board, make absolutely sure that it's supported firmly on the opposite side or there is a significant danger of busting through and wrecking the laminate on the other side as there's often only a couple of millimetres of material. It's done properly here, but I can imagine some circumstances, such as using the same technique on the side of a cabinet, where this might not be the case and then you have to be very careful.
Hi Bill, great tips there mate. Can you please do a video on how to fix a sagging corner cabinet door (the one with 2 panels joined by piano hinge. Thanks
Nice tips. if you don't have larger screws or anchors laying around you can also put a few toothpicks in the enlarged holes with a little glue, trim to length and just go right back in with your screw.....works for hinges on full size doors as well.
Much better solution than wall plugs. Hinges are subject to substantial movement and stress. Similarly 2 part filler is brittle when it sets and don't take too kindly to threads.

The third option was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you ❤
Thank you so much! Can't believe we lived with loose hinges for three years. Tonight I can sleep so well!
That mix and scrape technique is truly ASMR 👨🏻🎨✨
Thanks for showing and explaining and not adding fluff.
You’re welcome 👍
Superglue and cornflour….it’s instant and rock solid. You can drill and screw it easily and it’s white!
Genius!!!
Superglue and saw dust. Won’t decompose when wet or attract rodents.
Top man. I had this problem to solve...and you provided the exact solution (grade 8, 16mm screws). Cheers man.
best vid on repairing the chipboard. THANK YOU !!!
Bill is the ultimate arsenal to have at your fingertips!!!
Thankyou, Bill. Much appreciated.
Thanks Bill. You're like the Handyman Dad I never had!
You’re welcome 👍

Thanks from the Netherlands
I’ve used no more nails along with the thin dowels. It’s worked a treat for me on the doors that I’ve repaired.
Never thought of using Bondo for that application. Also never heard of touch-up paint for melamine. I'll need to look into that. Finally a reason to not (TOTALLY) hate particle board cabinets. Thanks.
Great information! I was able to fix my cabinet door by myself. Thank you!!
You’re welcome 👍
Gr8 demo of the 3 fixes... !!!!
Such good description of process.

Great work, dude!
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Really helpful. Solid information to attain more lasting repairs. Hadn’t thought of the masonry plugs in wood or more difficult material like particle board or MDF. Thanks!
Agree. I also fond the masonry plug suggestion to be a great tip.
EDIT: Not to mention using a utility blade to trim it.
Very nice job with the patching and painting!! I am very impressed!
