Hinge on kitchen cupboard door

AliceBanned

Hello


One of these hinges has come off my kitchen cupboard door, and taken some of the chipboard with it:

It looks like someone previously glued it as there is some kind of solvent stuck to the hinge. There is now a gap in the cupboard where the hinge and some of the chipboard was. Is this a job for something like Gripfill? Or I believe you can get a metal plate to patch the door?


I have recently moved my kitchen bin to this cupboard and so it looks like it was attached quite weakly, but because I have been using the cupboard more it has broken. I don't have anywhere else to fit the bin.

Could you post a picture of the damage so someone can advise the best repair?

grip-fill as in instant nails? Nah.. you need a proper wood filler.. fill the hole, wait till solid & screw in new/old hinge, that's all there is to it.
Metal plate isn't really needed..

Hinge repair plates are good for repairing loose hinges to the cabinet but not to the door. I've never tried a repair plate for doors.

Would it be best to just screw the hinge higher up?
