Help with old cabinet hinges
Moved to an old house two years ago, and the kitchen cabinet hinges have slowly but surely disintegrated over that time... most of the doors now hang loose like this one, it's driving me bananas. My question is, would I be better off fixing the hinges, or buying new ones? Would new ones have to be the same type as the old ones? The plan so far is to remove hinges, fix doors with wood filler, and use dowels to put in new screws, but reading posts on this sub it seems it can be a hassle to find new hinges that will work on old doors, so maybe I should just use new screws and keep the old hinges until we're ready to fix up the cabinets themselves? https://preview.redd.it/utzzupgrdvoe1.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7990f192a3927ecbe4d312cb0ee3ac4db3ed5f14 https://preview.redd.it/4wit8qgrdvoe1.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1aaa28d55ecf02257219d3f0ba97636bbaa32de5 https://preview.redd.it/pbapzogrdvoe1.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9faaa4facaca7694515c69e0eba27d9bc181aac0 submitted by /u/atchoummmm [link] [comments]
