Any furniture is designed for the convenience of a person, but over time it tends to break. Often this phenomenon manifests itself in the form of a breakdown furniture hinges. The reasons can be different: from frequent moves to incorrect initial assembly of furniture.
Modern designer furniture kitchen sets, cabinets, shelves, complemented by lockable doors made of different material that are connected with loops. Because of them, different kinds damage and will eventually require repairs.
When furniture breaks, any modern interior loses appearance and at first glance New furniture, instantly turns into old trash. There is some confusion in this situation. The uprooted loop immediately catches the eye of even the household or guests who come to the apartment. Repair furniture hinge, you can do it yourself at home. We will give advice on repairing torn furniture hinges.
If only holes remain on the surface of the furniture, then you can drive the wedges and tighten them with special screws, but it is advisable to pick them up a little longer than the previous screws.
Properly replacing a broken furniture hinge consists of the following steps:
With the knowledge gained, it is safe to say that if any of the breakdowns listed above occur, then you can handle it yourself.
My phone rang, who's talking? No, of course, not an elephant, but a friend. And he got in trouble. Little daughters pulled out the closet door once again. The previous methods of returning the loops to their place have exhausted themselves, since, in the laminated chipboard, the self-tapping screws no longer held. Since the hinges were pulled out not for the first time, the base of the hinge was screwed in different places many times already and the chipboard became like a sieve, but the problem had to be solved. Without much thought, I proposed several options for solving the problem with torn loops:
The first option is extreme, expensive and dreary to make a copy of the side wall of the cabinet and replace it. But this option, as I said, was the last one, when there will be no other options.
The second option is to shift the base of the hinge, with which the hinge is attached to the side wall and screw the hinge in this place. But this option was passed earlier and could no longer be applied.
Another option is to shift the hinge completely, that is, with drilling a new place for the hinge in the facade and corresponding fastening on the side wall. But this is a topic for a separate discussion.
Now let's move on to other methods for returning the torn loop to its rightful place. You can try to cover the holes from under the screws or screws with PVA glue (from experience I can say that it is better to use PVA Joiner Moment) with small sawdust added. Get a medium viscosity composition. And with such a composition, close up the holes from the screws or screws that fastened the loop to the chipboard. This option was chosen by my friend, although my opinion is that this option is not as reliable as the next option for restoring a torn loop.
This option is often used by me not only to restore the fastening of the hinge to the chipboard, but also to restore the fastening of the eccentric coupler rod. On one of the orders, a client who tried to assemble cheap furniture on his own, for some reason decided that the holes were of the wrong size and drilled them through. Saved furniture dowels.
The nest where the self-tapping screws or screws were fastened, holding the hinges, is drilled using an ordinary drill with a diameter of 8 mm. Drill so as not to drill a hole through. To limit the depth of drilling a hole, it is better to use a restrictive ring on the drill. As a result of drilling, a hole will be obtained with a depth of 10 to 12 mm and a diameter of 8 mm. Now you can carefully hammer a furniture dowel into this hole, on which approximately the depth of your hole is previously marked. In order for the dowel to be fixed in the hole for sure, it is better to lubricate it . The protruding part of the dowel must be cut evenly, for example, with a saw blade for iron. Excess glue is removed if it has come out. And if the loop is attached to self-tapping screws, then they can be tightened immediately after installing such plugs. If you need to drill holes foryou better wait a day. Although PVA Joiner quickly grasps, full strength still does not come immediately. I consider this option the most optimal of all.
But even if this option did not suit you, then you can use a very tough option, this is drilling a hole through and pullinghinges with bolts of this type and suitable size.
And with arr on the far side, wherebolt heads are visible, stick self-adhesive plugs.
I think basically everything possible options fastening restorationloops are reviewed and will help you with your problem.
And here's what happened to my friend.
Hello dear readers of the site. In this article, you will learn in the doors of a closet or bedside table. This is a disease of any furniture made from chipboard.
I have been using this method for a long time and it has never let me down.
1 . We take two drills with different diameters: one is 5-6mm, and the second is 9-10mm, and we drill holes into which furniture screws were screwed to a depth of 10mm. We drill first with a thin drill, and then with a thick one. Do it carefully so as not to make a through hole.
2 . We adjust the wooden stick to the diameter of the holes and cut off two chopiks 9-10 mm high.
3 . We glue the holes and chopiki well with glue. Then we hammer in the chopiki and leave it like that until next day for the glue to dry.
4
. We put the loop in its place and make marks where the screws will go. With a drill with a diameter of 4mm, we drill holes to a depth of 10mm, and then drive the self-tapping screws so that they can then be easily screwed into place.
Take a drill exactly 4mm, since the diameter of the self-tapping screw is 6.5 mm, and if you make the hole wider, then everything will have to be done again.
5 . Put the loop in place and screw on. As you can see, everything is simple.
If your furniture is still Soviet-made, then it will be enough to drill holes with a slightly larger diameter, into which the screws were screwed, pour a little PVA glue, drive in wooden chopsticks and leave for a day for the glue to dry. Then, in the chopstick, also drill a hole with a thin 2.5 mm drill, and screw the loop into place.
There is one more option. PVA glue is poured into the holes, 3-4 matches are inserted and the loop is immediately screwed into place. But it's not very good way, because after a while the loop starts to hang out again. Although as an option, who does not have time, will also go.
Now you know, how to fix a loose furniture hinge.
Good luck!
Chipboard, also known as chipboard, is used to make furniture very often. Furniture can look like it's made from precious woods, but at the same time it will cost much less. Chipboard has one unpleasant feature - its structure is such that metal fasteners do not always hold well. Most of all, objects that have doors suffer from this. How to fix a cabinet door? Now we will discuss this.
Any furniture needs constant attention, otherwise it starts to cause trouble for the owners. Per metal products You have to keep an eye on them so they don't rust. wooden tables, chairs and cabinets begin to creak over time, and they have to be glued or twisted. Most of all, unpleasant surprises are presented by furniture made of chipboard, in particular, cabinets.
However, some problems are common to all furniture materials except plastic:
How and how to fix a torn door from a sliding wardrobe? If your door is broken, then fixing it is not a problem. Some hinge defects can be fixed by hand, in other cases it is better to replace the hinge or door. For example, if an unpleasant creak is heard when opening or closing doors.
A door made of both chipboard and wood can start to creak, and a metal one makes a disgusting rattle. Actually, it’s not the cabinet itself that creaks, but door hinges. Accordingly, they need to be “treated”.
Important! Special oil for loops in this case it is preferable because it is sold in a convenient aerosol package.
It is enough to miss the loop, and it will cease to irritate your hearing. Well, it is most convenient to apply engine oil with a small syringe (for example, diabetic). Only a few drops are needed for preventive maintenance.
It is not uncommon for the cabinet door to constantly open. Closing is useless. Our grandmothers got out of the situation simply - they folded a piece of newspaper several times and put it under the door. Effective, but not particularly pretty.
But there were no other ways than to invite a carpenter to fit a naughty part. Now it is very important to see what kind of design you have:
Most modern furniture doors are held closed with a small magnet and a metal bar. If the cabinet is constantly open, the magnetic mount simply needs to be adjusted.
The only tool you need for this is a screwdriver:
Check what you got. Usually such a simple repair helps well, but it happens that it does not give a result. Then you need to change the mount.
In this case, you can use the grandmother's experience and make a small gasket. Only, of course, not from paper. Most suitable for a small piece of rubber with a thickness of 1 to 5 mm, depending on the width of the gap.
You will also need:
It remains only to cut out the gasket - a rectangle of about 2x3 cm. At the same time, it does not matter at all how even it will be. Next to fix the cabinet door:
How to restore a pen if it has fallen off. There is no point in restoring the pen, unless it has artistic value. If it is standard, it is better to replace it with exactly the same one. To do this, you need a screwdriver and a small box or a sheet of white paper (so that the screws do not get lost in the process).
Let's start repairing the cabinet door:
If the cabinet door is scratched or the lining has fallen off, it can be restored. It is better to remove it from the hinges at the same time - they always do this with a wooden or metal part. But as for chipboard - it's better not to take risks, to restore it on weight.
Important! Unfortunately, the attachment points at such doors fail quite often, and repairs do not always give the desired result.
The most common problem with such parts is that screws, screws or self-tapping screws fly out, often along with pieces of the board. A hole is formed into which nothing can be inserted. How to repair a chipboard cabinet door if such a disaster occurs?
In several ways:
Chipboard, from which furniture is made, can be both hard and soft. Repair methods in these cases will be different. For example, if the cabinet is made of soft board (usually modern furniture it is made of this), broken holes can be repaired with sawdust, but this option is not suitable for old Soviet furniture.
If the fasteners flew off, and a “lacerated wound” formed in its place, you can try to repair it with a composition that includes:
In this case, it is not necessary to remove the door from the second hinge:
Important! This method is only suitable for small cabinets whose doors are light enough.
This option is more reliable than the previous one, since the epoxy after hardening has a rather high strength:
It also happens that a large piece of chipboard fell off at the attachment point, but it did not fall apart into separate fragments. In this case, it can simply be glued by adding a small amount of sawdust to the PVA glue. The rest is done in the same way as in the previous case.
How to fix a chipboard cabinet door if it has fallen off, but rather neatly, and no sawdust has formed? In this case, plastic dowels will help you out.
You will also need a tool to cut the dowels - they will most likely be longer than necessary. The dowels must not come out. You can cut them with a knife. After you insert them, hang the door hinge on the self-tapping screws.
You can get out of the situation in another way - you don’t need to glue anything. Door hinges are now the most different sizes and with different distances between the screw holes. In this case, you can not even close up the holes from under the fallen fasteners.
It is better, of course, to do this by covering furniture wax- any unnecessary hole reduces the strength of the entire structure. So seal the holes in one of the suggested ways, and then proceed as follows:
Important! For greater reliability, you can immediately put the screws on the glue - this will increase the strength of the fastening.
How to repair a door kitchen cabinet if it is quite heavy? Even very strong glue in this situation is not a particularly reliable assistant. You will need:
In this case, cone-shaped plugs are hammered into the holes:
Some furniture manufacturers produce special restoration products. Usually they are similar in consistency to plasticine. For example, Heinkel offers such material to its customers.
How to apply:
The holes formed from the fallen screws can not be sealed, but closed. To do this, you need a wooden or metal die.
Important! Wood is easier to make and drill, but metal is more reliable.
How to repair a cabinet door.
Do-it-yourself cabinet repair will not present any particular difficulty even for beginners in the field of decorative furniture repair. Over time, any furniture wears out, an unpleasant creak of hinges appears, numerous cracks and scratches become noticeable. The varnish covering the surface of the door is almost completely peeled off. That is why there is a need to redecorating this subject furniture. The cabinet is often repaired, and at the moment when such facts as heavy and creaky opening and closing of the doors become noticeable, they sag or even wedge.
In this case, you need to start repairing the case with your own hands by tightening all the screws. If the screws do not hold the door, it would be better to move their hinges to another location, and the holes remaining on the wood from the previous bolts will have to be filled with special wood putty, after which the finished door can be pierced.
To repair cabinet doors that require the removal of scratches and cracks from its surface, you will need:
In the room, before starting to carry out repairs, it is necessary to carry out wet cleaning to avoid the accumulation of dust on the freshly applied layer of varnish.
To repair cabinet doors, you will need the following tools: paint brush, varnish, spatula, sandpaper.
This can have a very negative effect on the appearance of the cabinet, which will no longer look like it was just renovated. Doors must be removed from the cabinet in advance. All hinges, other fasteners, handles, bolts, locks, etc. should be removed from them. Metal cabinet elements that show signs of rust must be cleaned and coated with anti-corrosion agents. This will extend the life of the entire cabinet and make it more attractive, almost new in appearance.
Before repairing old cabinets, you need to carefully prepare the surface of the treated wood. This is necessary, since the varnish does not aim to hide the flaws, with its help they will be even more noticeable. Experts advise carefully sanding the wood and filling cracks and scratches with putty. But keep in mind that it must be identical to the body color. Otherwise, the repair of the cabinet door can be considered a failure. After applying the putty, you need to wait a while to allow the coating to dry completely. Only after that you can start varnishing the wings. Construction varnish, like any other, has a caustic and bad smell which can make you feel bad. For this reason, it is recommended to treat the cabinet only in a well-ventilated area.

To repair a cabinet made of chipboard, the following materials will be required: PVA glue, a clamp, a medical needle and a syringe.
Often men decide to do the repair of a wardrobe made of chipboard with their own hands. This material is exposed to heat and moisture and gradually loses its former visual appeal. There are clearly visible cracks and crevices on it. To return the cabinet to its original form, you will need minimum set tools:
First, you need to clean the cabinet of various kinds of contaminants, then wait until the surface is completely dry. After that, you must fill all the cracks with PVA glue poured into the syringe, while simultaneously clamping them. After all the cracks are filled, they need to be tightly clamped with clamps so that they stick together tightly. If some glue leaks out, it will need to be removed with a damp cloth. It is impossible to remove the clamps earlier than a day after installation. This time is necessary to ensure that the adhesive is completely absorbed and fixes the structure of the material.

Very often, furniture is covered with plywood, which, when used in rooms with high humidity quickly loses its appearance, elegance and attractiveness. Thus, many are wondering how to restore a cabinet whose lining has deteriorated? Before repairing, you need to prepare the cabinet. To do this, it is enough to remove all the doors, from which, in turn, handles, hinges and locks are removed. After that, the repaired surface of the doors or sides of the cabinet using sandpaper remove dirt, rub scratches and cracks. Then wipe the surface with a damp cloth to make sure it is completely free of dust, dirt and any other foreign matter.
Then proceed to the preparation of plywood, which must be completely identical to the surface of the furniture body. To do this, a sheet of plywood is laid on the workbench, on which the required length and width are measured, and then the contour is cut out. In order to avoid various kinds of defects, before installing the sheet in place, simply attach the plywood to the surface. If the dimensions are identical, you can remove the paper that protects the adhesive layer. Installation on the cabinet is recommended to start from the corner of the sash area or sidewall, gradually moving to the central part. We must not forget that the material should be pressed tightly against the wall so that the adhesion is as strong as possible.
At the end of the repair of this cabinet, you need to drill holes for hinges and self-tapping screws. It must be remembered that the diameter of the holes must be several millimeters smaller than the dimensions of the screws themselves. Otherwise, the door will not hold well. After that, locks, fasteners and handles should be installed on the processed doors. Then it remains only to hang the door hinges on the cabinet, having previously covered all the metal elements with a special solution that protects the metal from corrosion.
So, it is not difficult to return the original look of furniture, so everyone can start finishing old cabinets. Moreover, it does not require a lot of experience. After all, the most important thing here is to strictly follow the instructions given, which will help reduce the time of furniture repair.
