Fixing a kitchen cabinet

[Tangwhich]

I've got a kitchen cabinet where one of the door hinges has come loose. The cheap wood that it's made from is no longer able to hold the screws that hold the hinge to the side. Are there any product available to fill in the hole so they can be rescrewed?

Thanks..

take the hinge off get some wood filler refill the holes let it dry for a day or so redrill the hole and reinstall the hinge. It will hold for a whilt but if you have one coming apart you probably have more

Pour in a bit of carpenter's glue, then jam the hole with matchsticks, toothpicks, or sawdust, etc.

Forget everything everyone else said- this is the best solution:

Place some carpenters glue liberally on a wooden golf Tee... place the golf Tee in the hole as far as it will go... wait a few hours for the glue to dry... cut off the access. Re-sink the screw. DONE!

Works great for regular door, (not just cabinet) hinges that have become stripped too!

Figures that here on TERB, it would sooner or later get down to jamming wood into a hole!

Try that with these new fan dangled composite or metal drivers and see if you get a smile on her face.

I know this could be in the Sports Forum, but just sayin'.
