Cabinet door repairs
Common problem I come across is kitchen cabinets where the doors have
been opened beyond the limit of the hinge and the euro screws have pulled out of the chipboard carcass. This leaves two gaping holes where each hinge was. I've been using repair kits for a while, ordered online @ around £5 a set + delivery. Toolsatan now stock them for £2:20! http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Iron...ir+Kit+/p25950 These things are the answer to a maidens prayer! -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk |

I was using car body filler to do that job years ago, and that's a fiver for enough to repair several kitchens! -- Everything you read in newspapers is absolutely true, except for the rare story of which you happen to have first-hand knowledge. €“ Erwin Knoll |

You do have to factor THM's time - if he has one to repair, it's either bugger about for 20 minutes mixing, applying, waiting, sanding. Or stick one of those on for 2.20 |

And can be used to fix new doors to old carcasses when the hinge holes don't line up. Brilliant |

Cabinet door repairs
I'm sure they must be, but I ended up using a piano hinge on one door as the
load of the bin inside kept muching up the hinges and the door. Brian -- From the Sofa of Brian Gaff Reply address is active "The Medway Handyman" wrote in message ...
