Cupboard door fell off

muckety

Hi - one of my cupboard doors in the kitchen has fallen off. I can see where the screws were there is not enough 'wood' left to screw it back on! Is it possible to fill these holes with some sort of fillers so that I can then screw the door back on in the same place?

The cupboards seem to be made of some MDF stuff, quite lightweight and not very robust. Any suggestions?

There are a no of ways around this but the quickest is put a rawlplug in the hole and screw into this. You may have to make the hole a little bigger and more uniform to take the plug.

or if you are handy at all put the door flat face down on a table (or any flat surface) and put the screws into the holes then fill around them with 2 pack filler. Leave the filler till it hardens unscrew the screws then sand the bits sticking up then rehang the door

Similiar to Isopon or U-Pol.

If you go into a wood workers shop they will know what it is
