Cupboard door hinges

The screws that attack the cupboard door hinge to the side of the cupboard have pulled out of the end panel of the cupboard.
I trued drilling out the hole and filling it with no nails type stuff, that didn't work.
then I tried polycell filler and that hasn't worked.
Save from drilling new holes for the hinges in the door and in the cupboard side panel can anyone suggest anything else.
Thanks.

Good idea, but it's the bit that screws to the carcass that is the problem not the bit that screws to the door.Kitchen_DesignR wrote: »You need a hinge/cabinet repair kit...

I'd drill it out, glue a bit of wood dowel in, then drill the screw-holes (but I have odd bits of dowel hanging around).
You could always try a couple of bits of matchstick...0 -
why not just drill through the cupboard sides and using 2 small m4 machine screws, bolt the hinges back on, or if not, get 2 carcass jointing bolts and use these, would be a lot neater.0

So try the other one then...

I'll second this idea. When I was fitting new doors to my existing kitchen cupboards some of the hinge plates needed to be moved a few mm so I just filled in the old holes with matchsticks (glued in) and re-drilled in the new hole positions.0
