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.
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.
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.
Thanks for this! You just saved me having to get a whole new cabinet door.
Bill is the ultimate arsenal to have at your fingertips!!!
Thank you so much! Can't believe we lived with loose hinges for three years. Tonight I can sleep so well!
The third option was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you ❤
Beautifull , thank you very much .
That mix and scrape technique is truly ASMR 👨🏻🎨✨
Top man. I had this problem to solve...and you provided the exact solution (grade 8, 16mm screws). Cheers man.
Useful.Thanks.🎉
best vid on repairing the chipboard. THANK YOU !!!
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.
Thanks for showing and explaining and not adding fluff.
You’re welcome 👍
Thankyou, Bill. Much appreciated.
Thanks from the Netherlands
Never hesitate to give a like before watching video, confident the advice will be helpful.
👍👍
Thanks
Thank you!
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.
Gr8 demo of the 3 fixes... !!!!
The use of plugs is brilliant. Explains why I didn’t think of it myself. Ha!
Thank You Bill very handy tips.
👍
Really good thanks mate
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.
Off to fix my daughters wardrobe! Thank you 👍🏻👌🏻
Great information! I was able to fix my cabinet door by myself. Thank you!!
You’re welcome 👍
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.
you saved my day
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!
Such good description of process.
The first two examples were known to me, but I'm glad of the third example.
Great work, dude!
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Thank you, method 2 worked for me.
Love it, Bill. Thank you. Yes, I always learn something from your videos.
Love your videos, always looking forward to when you put new ones out. Keep up the good work!
I used wood filings from my electric pencil sharpener to fix my grate grandsons wardrobe mixed with glue worked well 👍
the very job i need to do. terrific- thanks.
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!
Champion welldone. Good tips and video. Thanks.

Excellent video bro!
7:00 I like to use the left over filler to test when it is ready for shaving off.
Great video. First and foremost: ALWAYS wear eye protection when drilling, using kives/razor blades, and using chemicals (like filler in this case). I suggest you drill pilot holes for the screws in the patch material. The pilot holes should be a little less than half the thickness of the screw shaft including the threads. This will prevent stress cracks in the patch from developing over time. I never use larger gauge screws to fix loose ones. I drill out the holes with a 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) drill bit (being careful not to drill through the door - tape around the drill bit can be used as a depth guage). Then on a piece of old scrap Oak wood, I drill out two 1/4 inch (6.35 mm) plugs (using special bits you can get at most hardware stores). Using Wood Glue, lightly tap the plugs into the holes you drilled, and cut flush using a rocking motion of the knife like shown with the plastic plugs. Then place the hinge on the door and mark the center point for each screw on the Oak plugs. Drill pilot holes (for the original screws) in the Oak plugs and reassemble. Oak is a very strong hardwood, so you MUST drill pilot holes or you WILL strip the screw heads (or even snap them off) trying to get the screw all the way down. ALWAYS drill pilot holes in wood unless you are doing decking/house framing where the woods used are usually softer woods. You will find that Oak (or any hardwood like Maple or Poplar) are far superior to particle wood (like that shown) or plastic plugs, and the screws will never come loose in the Oak as long as the doors/hinges are not abused.
I use matches, wood glue, trim the excess, and then the screws.
@@rodent Yes, the matches/glue will work in a pinch... providing you use wooden match sticks and not the cardboard type. I have done that in the past, but they don't last/hold as long as the Oak Plug method. You can get plug maker drill bits in a 3 size pack for about $20. A great addition to any tool set.
This oak plug method sounds EXCELLENT, and gives me an excuse to buy the plug bits!
@@ut4321 Yup, the "boss" now approves all purchases since the "Harley Incident of 2011". Don't forget to drill pilot holes in the Oak plugs for the screws or you WILL strip or tear off the screw head trying to screw it in - especially if you have a high torque screw driver/drill.
that is a good one Bill, i use epoxy resin but i think the glue you have is better
👍👍👍
Love it thank you
Much appreciated
