QUICK SOLUTIONS FOR CUPBOARD/ CABINET DOORS LOSE

WHY ARE MY CUPBOARD/ CABINET DOORS LOSE?

• Screws loose: Frequent opening and closing of Cupboards/ Cabinets loosen the hinge screws. Also, over time after prolonged use, the screws may loosen. Cupboard/ Cabinet doors will feel loose.

• The door is too heavy for the hinges: In an ideal world, hinges help support and hold your cabinet doors in place. This makes it easier to open and close the door. If the Cupboard/ Cabinet door does not have adequate hinge support, it may begin to sag.

  • The screw holes are stripped: A “stripped” screw hole is a fancy term for a screw hole. It is too big for the corresponding screw. When this happens, then the Cupboard/ Cabinet door might seem loose.
