Cabinet door that has come loose

[Aztrill]

Hello, one of my cabinet doors has come off and the holes are worn out. I tried filling them with wood filler and screwed them in again, but as expected it was too weak to hold up the door. How would you get the door back up? Moving the hinges is almost impossible as they are in a recess as you can see in the picture.

I tried filling them with wood filler and screwed in the screws again but as expected it was way too weak.

Try pushing in some broken matchsticks into the holes, that trick usually works on doors and cupboards in 90% of cases. But screw with care, don't tighten the "last" turn

The cupboard part has quite large holes, so you might need to glue in the matchsticks there. It may also be necessary to press in construction adhesive (like PL200) between the hinge and the door there.

Drill out with a wood drill and glue a wooden plug into the hole should provide better strength than wood filler.

On YouTube, I have seen that there are repair plates when the screw holes have given out.
As the carpenter I am, I would drill out with a spade bit and glue in a plug.

Protte

Assume that it's the bracket that's come loose in the cabinet frame.
There are brackets for hole rows of different depths. It's been a long time since I dealt with this, so I don't trust my memory. Replace so you can attach in new holes.
A long time ago, Lundell&Zetterberg had a full assortment.
Otherwise, Theofils in Årsta. Wholesaler but can probably be persuaded to sell to private individuals.
Renovation brackets definitely have different placements for the screw. They are made for the door on the outside. It looks like your door is inset. It can be solved.
Best regards, Findus

Had a renovation plate in stock.

As you can see, the holes are in completely different places.

OK but only two holes for the mounting in masonite/chipboard, I would guess that it breaks quite well at the mounting with the screws so close together. It might hold up. Unless someone hangs on the door.

OK but only two holes for the mount in masonite/chipboard, I would think it breaks quite easily at the fastening with such short distance between the screws. Might be okay with it. Unless someone hangs on the door.

it works, I installed renovation plates in my daughter's kitchen 5-6 years ago and no problems with it (door replacement)

These work quite well. Fit Blum. https://luckoronline.se/mobel-luckor-gangjarn/montageplattor/Renoveringsplatta-koksrenovering

Yep, with plates it becomes strong. But TS showed a new smaller fitting, and that was what I wrote about, and there is a big difference between a plate and a hinge part. Good that there are plates to repair with.

only two holes for the bracket

Look again. Three screws with one in the middle.

OK then it should hold. Good luck
