Introduction

Without a sturdy hinge and screws, the cabinet will not close properly and could potentially completely come off.

Before using this guide, check the hinge to make sure the screws don’t need to just be screwed in a little tighter. Sometimes, the screws have just gotten loose and need to be tightened without replacing the hinge.

Step 3 requires you to completely remove the hinge and add a new one. From there, you will need to attach and screw the new hinge in place.

Before beginning, make sure you have help in order to hold the cabinet and have someone to help screw in the screws.

Step 4

  • Insert and screw in the screw closest to the inside of the cabinet.
  • The innermost screw should be fastened first because it’s the hardest to get to once the other screws are placed.
  • Screw in the rest of the screws until the hinge is in place.
