holes in mdf.

Post by alirus »

A kitchen door has been ripped off leaving holes in mdf. Is there any way we can repair the mdf to put the door back?

heeelllooo and welcome alirus :welcome: :welcome: :welcome:



assuming you mean the carcase you can use a mending plate

if its hidden on the end of a run or backs onto another hinge you can use small nuts and bolts fitting one at a time so the other hinge remains supported

or if it backs onto a blank cabinet wall use a wood screw into the other cabinet
