Introduction

This guide will help with fixing stripped screw holes from cabinet hinges, by securing those loose screws with anchors, a screwdriver, and a hammer.

Cabinets are held in place as long as their screws remain secured. However, with long term use of opening and closing cabinets, this results in a continual stress on the screws. This situation will create stripped screw holes, and it would be impossible to simply tighten the loose screws again. To simply solve this problem, just follow all the steps and the end result will be a nice and stable cabinet.

    • Once the screw anchors are secured in place, align the cabinet hinges with the anchor holes.

    • Top of the anchor must fit tightly in the stripped hole.
