Hinge Repair for Doors, Cabinets, and Furniture

Loose, squeaky, or misaligned hinges can make everyday use frustrating and can quickly lead to bigger damage. A cabinet door that drops, a wardrobe that rubs, or an interior door that will not close properly often starts with a small hinge issue. Our hinge repair service restores smooth movement, correct alignment, and secure fixing so your doors work quietly and safely again.

We repair and replace hinges on kitchen units, wardrobes, cabinets, interior doors, and a wide range of furniture pieces. Whether the problem is stripped screw holes, cracked panels, worn hinge pins, or a hinge that has pulled away from chipboard, we use practical repair methods that hold up to daily use.

Common Hinge Problems We Fix

Hinges fail for different reasons, from heavy loads and frequent opening to moisture and poor installation. We start by checking the hinge type, the condition of the door and frame, and the stability of the fixing points before choosing the right repair approach.

• Door sagging or rubbing due to loose screws, worn hinges, or warped panels
• Cabinet doors not closing because of misalignment, damaged soft close mechanisms, or bent hinge arms
• Stripped screw holes in chipboard, MDF, or softwood that no longer grip
• Hinges pulling out from repeated stress or over tightened screws
• Squeaking and stiffness caused by dirt, corrosion, or worn pivot points
• Misplaced mounting plates after moving or re installing furniture

If the hinge itself is still in good condition, a careful adjustment or reinforcement may be enough. When parts are worn or damaged, we can supply and fit suitable replacements, including concealed hinges, butt hinges, and soft close options.

Our Repair Process and What to Expect

Assessment and correct hinge choice

Not every hinge is interchangeable, especially on modern cabinetry. We identify the hinge type, opening angle, overlay style, and fixing pattern. This helps ensure that any replacement sits correctly and that the door lines up with surrounding units.

Secure fixing and reinforcement

Many hinge issues come from weak fixing points, particularly in chipboard and MDF. We restore strength by rebuilding stripped holes, adding reinforcement where needed, and selecting the correct screws and anchors. Where the panel is damaged, we can reposition hardware carefully to a stronger section, ensuring the door remains aligned and visually tidy.

Alignment and smooth operation

After fixing, we adjust the door so gaps are even and the door closes cleanly without rubbing. On concealed hinges, this includes depth, height, and side adjustments. On standard door hinges, we correct hinge seating and ensure the door swings freely without binding.

If your issue is part of a larger problem, such as a cabinet that has shifted or a wardrobe that has loosened over time, we can address stability and levelling as part of the visit. Many clients book hinge repairs alongside furniture repair services so everything works together properly.

Hinge Replacement and Upgrades

Sometimes replacement is the most reliable option, especially when hinges are bent, cracked, corroded, or missing parts. We can replace like for like where possible, or upgrade to a better hinge for improved durability and comfort.

• Concealed cabinet hinge replacement including soft close hinge upgrades
• Kitchen unit door repairs for heavy or frequently used doors
• Wardrobe and cabinet hinge fixes where doors drop or twist out of line
• Interior door hinge replacement when hinges squeak, bind, or no longer hold alignment

For flat pack and ready to assemble furniture, hinge issues are often linked to incorrect initial installation or loosened cam fittings. We can correct the structure and re fit hardware, and if you need help with broader work we also offer professional furniture assembly for wardrobes, cabinets, shelving units, and more.

• Careful, clean work with attention to alignment and door gaps

• Practical solutions for chipboard, MDF, hardwood, and laminate surfaces
