Sorry to ask here, but stuck! A door from a kitchen cabinet (wall mounted) has come off, again!! Fell away from the carcass. Fixed for about 3months, but broken again. Not much damage to the carcass, but screws no longer fit. Is there anything I can do to fix it? |

Yes lookup a product called plexus, its perfect for filling in those old holes, and then just redrill pilot holes and use the original screws. I have 100s of tubes id be happy to send some although giving ur addy out to a stranger would be dodgy! So have a look for that stuff online. Failing that look for a '2 pack strong adhesive' and do as i said it'll never come away again. |

You can buy a metal plate that is sold by toolstaion or screfix that is made for this job if the kitchen is fitted by a fitter then call him back as he should repair it unless it was a faulty cabinet |

If the unit is completely damaged where the hinge is fixed it mite be easier to change the unit you only need to replace the carcass as you already have the door company’s like howdens Wikes b&q I think you’d get a complete carcass for £30 |

Thankfully not. Just the holes now too big for the screws. Will keep in mind a replacement though. Just in case. |
