Drill out hole to 6mm or same size as a wood dowel. Glue in a wood dowel with wood glue. Cut flush. Use the other half of the dowel for the second hole. Cut flush. Screw into dowel to fix hinge. Stronger fix than original into chipboard. Job done. Simples. Wife happy because I've not wasted her baking foil.
Happy wife, happy life ;-)
Классная идея
Dowels tend to crumble when done this way. I’ve tried it several times.
Spot on
This is the repair any reasonably competent person would do, not the half assed "life hack" crap in this video.
Seems like an pretty convoluted way to do the same that you could achieve with a dowel and wood glue (which is how presumably even a _40_ year old carpenter normally fixes this issue).
Title says it was a surprise it didn't say why.
did they had super glue 40 years ago????
@@DMNL2 - "They" (the original inventors) had it more than 80 years ago. It didn't start being mass-produced until 1958, though (65 years ago), by Eastman (a.k.a. Kodak). Originally it was used just by the industry, but Loctite started selling it to the general public in the late 60s (around 55 years ago). All those numbers are bigger than 40. Anyway, nothing in my post refers to using super glue "40 years ago".
I found Method 1 in Video is a lot more DIY than using a dowel. Every household will have a roll of kitchen foil within reach most of the time, but not a dowel and a saw.
@@naratipmath - Does every house have an easily-amazed 50-year-old carpenter, though?
You have drilled the holes out, now just glue a dowel in there. It will last with no problem. Trust me on this one, I have been doing carpentry for over sixty years.
Precisely what I was thinking. Also a cabinet maker to trade
Yep that's how I repaired my hinges on kitchen doors. My dad taught me ages ago. He was a builder.
Surprised he didn't drill all the way through then install 2 stove.bolts with wing nuts on the outside.
I've only just posted the same thing myself, then I spotted your comment. It's easier to use a dowel, and it's super-strong.
That foil will last all of about 2 minutes,you could see when he inserted the screws that they bottomed and we're still turning, he would have been better served just putting the screws back in with just the glue.As an automotive engineer I can tell you that that open tapered thread will offer next to no clamping force in that foil,the screw being held in entirely by a bit of glue and some friction, its ability to retain that little clamping force will be rapidly overcome by the movement and weight of the door it's self and the transfer from the snapping action on the hinge as it shuts. My method is to router out a rectangle around the recess leaving around 3mm at the back edge to retain the outer finish and then glue in some hardwood blocks and recess them to accept the hinge. I've done a few that way,none have failed👍
I love how he learned his lesson, after over tightening the second screw in the tin foil, we went really slow when screwing into the hot glue.
I saw that second screw free spinning too Sir. “Fixes” my ass! Nothing more than old bodgy the Handyman tricks used by muppets.
And the silliest part is that any "50 year old carpenter" will have dowels and wood glue, that make this fix easier and much more solid.
Yeah, never a good idea to use a drill for little screws like that, that's probably how the holes got wrecked in the first place.
I usually fill any stripped hole with toothpicks coated with a little bit of wood glue. Some people have suggested match sticks, but they tend to be kind of thick. Toothpicks are thin and tapered, so you can really jam them in tight and break them off at the surface.
I have used zip tie ends because I had them handy and it worked perfect as well
I use toothpicks with wood glue as well.
I did this once when my father in law was watching me repair something of my wife's. He laughed at me. But then when he saw how strong the repair was afterwards he stopped laughing. Friction is a real thing.
😅😊😅
i have a table my great grandfather made. It has a pedestal center, and the tabletop can be turned upright by virtue of a hinge on the pedestal. Tabletop is quite heavy, and after 90 years, between wood shrinking and the weight of the table top, a couple of the screws gave way. My brother-in-law tipped me off to the toothpick method, and it worked incredibly well. I was nervous as anything to try it - GGfather's table has thousands of small inlays, a real piece of art that I was terrified I'd ruin.
I use hard wood dowel, glued in place with gorilla glue and predrill a pilot. Works like a champ on all wood repairs, hinge and strike screw repairs as well. You never return, it’s that good.
@@QuietlyContemplating There are plenty of "clever" KZhead how-to videos. This isn't one of them.
nothing beats Tight Bond II or III wood glue and birch tooth picks, forget superglue
You should make a video...
You and everyone who has ever done any woodworking and is actually trying to fix things, instead of making a "DIY" video for people who have never (and hopefully will never try to) actually fix anything.
If anyone is having issues with their door latch or dead bolt screws being stripped out and the latch is loose, I've invented a new door hardware that sits inside with the latch, invisible after install. ReSecure Latch. Thanks for videos like yours that are teaching people clever ways to repair their worn out items in their home.
Now all I need is a 50-year-old carpenter.
Apparently a 49 year old carpenter was later for the job. The 50 year old got there 1st. The 49 Yr old inspected the repair ..."foiled again!", he exclaimed...
@@stephenhookings1985 😂😂
60 year old even better.
I’ve got one year to become a carpenter 😅
@@davidmil15 That's great and on your final exam you already know the answer for the question : How to repair stripped screw holes. The only right answer is aluminum foil. I'm sure you'll ace the exam 👍
Be careful when using a dental pick and superglue- I was rubbing down a reinforcement on a model airplane, and the pick threw a drop of superglue right in the center of my eye. It cured before I could blink, so it didn't glue my eyelid down, but boy did that sting for a few days! Always wear safety glasses.
One thing I drilled into my children, and my pupils when I taught shop, was "no superglue without goggles", and your experience illustrates why this is so important.
Hi Benton, Reminds me of my neighbour coming in for a cup of tea to calm down after bringing his wife home from A&E. They were out and he bought some superglue to fix something in the car and when he was done, asked her to look after the bottle until they got home she put it in her handbag. They stopped for a bite to eat at a restaurant, he came back from a loo break to waiters surrounding her in panic. She was screaming. During his break, she'd put lipstick on and her eye drops in.
Be careful taking a squirt after handling superglue.
I’m sorry but that’s hilarious hahaha always work safe.
I'm sorry to hear that Benton. I tend to avoid using superglue as much as possible. There are professional adhesives at your local hardware store meant for specific materials you're gluing. Superglue is just nasty. Take care
Saw dust and wood glue are a great combo for this.
Thank you for sharing how to fix the cabinet door hinges. This is very helpful!
WOW...great ideas 💡 ✨!!! I will definitely use some of these ideas. THANKS 😊
I’m a carpenter. If I went to someone’s house and did that……. Let’s just say I’d be surprised if I got paid lol
That is true. But for someone like me who is not a carpenter tries to fix their own things at home this is a great tip. If it holds and it is strong and it is not visually unappealing this is really useful for me.
Agreed, KZhead is full of rubbish and idiots watching liking crap.
This is an awesome repair for rental properties!!!
You would if you didn't try and rip them off. This is a quick and easy fix, most people are simply going to appreciate that and your knowledge.
You would go to the customers home see this and say nope can’t be fixed new kitchen needed🤣🤣
Excellent video. I have this problem and have been waiting for a tutorial on how to repair it
This is a brilliant idea. Thank you for sharing.
One of the cool things about woodworking is there's about 400 ways to do everything, none of them are the best.
I fixed our fridge door handle with Araldite (epoxy) and tinfoil composite.. Its lasted about five years so far.. Covering breaks with glued tinfoil makes the fix really strong.
50-year old carpenter's head literally explodes with amazement as the same 50-year old carpenter just fills a hole with something and drills into it! WOW!
From France, thank you for your workouts, advices, and the video format 👌💪🏿
I'm happy to see the square trick for aligning the hardware!
A decent solution, but I wouldn't waste my aluminium foil, let alone expensive superglue, on this type of repair. In the past, I've simply drilled out the stripped thread, added a drop or two of Evo-Stik wood glue, then tapped in a suitably-sized dowel. A piece of cake.
Nice and if you dont have dowels, do what i did and use some match sticks similar outcome, and its probably stronger than it was before.
@@krushingbro6620saw dust and superglue works too
You can use aluminium foil from a chocolate bar 😁
I was thinking the same thing.
Me as well, not impressed with this 30 years experience crap.
I showed this to a 49 year old carpenter. He was not surprised.
Bravo! Ovaj savet mi znači mnogo. Hvala!💪
Excelente idea muchas gracias un abrazo grande saludos desde mar del plata 🇦🇷.
Merci beaucoup pour cette astuce 👍 Justement, j'avais une porte de placard à réparer depuis longtemps déjà....trop longtemps.... alors merci encore 👍📽️🎬💪
Herrgott, warum zur Hölle glauben Sie jeden Müll den Ihnen irgendein KZhead-Trottel hier erzählt? das ist unnötiges Material! nehmen Sie einfach feine Sägespäne oder Schleifstaub und Sekundenkleber! ...anstatt sinnlos noch anderes Material zu verschwenden! nutzen Sie doch Ihr Gehirn richtig und denken Sie nach!😉✌🏻 warum wird die Mehrheit der Menschheit immer dümmer?😔
As empresas que vendem esses moveis de baixa qualidade não gostam de pessoas como otimas ideias como estas.Parabens!
👏👏👏👍👍👍
Big "Thank you" for good ideas‼️ 👍🎇👏😃🎯
Wow, that's amazing!
You can avoid these problems by (A) NOT using power tool to tighten these screws in the first place and (B) not making cabinet doors out of particle board.
simple solution old time hinges on old time wood ply or laminate but not particle board that when wet falls apart
Yeah, good luck on the no-particle board point.
yes you can use it... most power tools have clutch with 20 levels to choose to prevent unnecessary strength. you just need to use it... that fix right there, was actually not perfect, you can clearly see the screw didn't tight as much as it should. i prefer using a wooden plug with glue
did he make the cabinet? I doubt it.. I work on jobs already assembled so no choice there. I would not go to this length though on such a repair. a good filler and a wooden peg is as good.
A lot of people don't like the particle board but if you use anything else it will double (or more )the price of the units.
I would drill bigger hole and stick wooden dowel
Well done, that's a neat trick 👍
I used a threaded insert in my kitchen door, where previous use of dowels & glue had failed. That's the best & only permanent solution.
I've used the hot glue fix, but the tin foil one was new to me! There are so many different types of hacks for these fixes! Over sized holes are no problem.
Are we still doing phrasing?
You can also fill in with most powders, like residue form a cigarette or salt, then glue
It's no wonder these methods surprised a 50 year old carpenter. I imagine these gadgets have come a long way since when they first started their professions.
Did you see the 50 year old carpenter? I missed them in the video?!?!?
@@josh-thomas It was implied in the title. I considered it part of the concept of the video.
Blow off all the critics, great ideas and thanks for the post.
꿀정보 잘얻고갑니다^^
The only question I have is how long does this last till it breaks again? It's still better then getting a new doors tho.
I use rawl plugs. Drill out a 10mm hole, glue in the plug then cut them flush! Does the same job. But neat little tip all the same 👍
I love it!!!
오~~ 생활꿀팁 감사합니다 ^^
Great ideas! My problem is when the need arises, I don’t remember things like this.
I don't expect the hot melt to be permanently fixed because it changes over time, but I think aluminum foil is a good idea.
hotglue are too soft. eventually the screw would just force its way out of the glue after few time opening the cabinet.
I agree about the hot glue. It did seem unlikely to me that it would be useful over time. Especially if it shrinks it would come loose eventually.
Why would aluminum foil be a good idea? It makes absolutely no sense to me to use aluminum foil
Awesome, thank you
Love this idea, ❤
After drilling the holes, you can just fill them with epoxy resin and baking soda, then wait. Then drill them and put the screws. Will last longer than the door itself
Yep … every time
What does the baking soda do?
@@bonajab strengthens the epoxy even more.
@ATHGT I've been using baking soda on superglue. For a near instant cure and more strength. I didn't know it worked on epoxy too. Nice.
Great tip.
I was watching this video when all of a sudden my neighbour came in, so we watched it together, and it inspired us and changed our lives, so I brang the money I saved before for my flight and bought a projecter then placed it in the street in my village so that all the village could watch it to change their lives!!
🤣🤣🤣
You what the money?
So inspiring, if only others could learn from you the world would be a better place. Thank you for changing lives.
Old copied comment
@@frankcovert6196 thank you too for your amazing comment that shed my tears🙏 We need more positive amazing people in life like you!
Wow! Thank you
Grandioso!! Sei un genio ;-)
Löcher mit Holz- Streichhölzern füllen, etwas Klebstoff dazu und dann halten die Schrauben.
You can use epoxy glue mixed with sawdust.
Bravo Mr Dépanneur 👍👍👍
WOW bravissimo
No wonder the screws come out if you over drill them in with a power tool like that :D
On the first fix you 100% over tightened and stripped the threads on that second screw. Well done.
Excellent 👌
Давно искал похожее видео,так как похожая проблемапоявилась,спасибо автору за видео.
I'm a 50 year old Carpenter, and I would be ashamed if I did this 😆😅🤣
@@brothershooryn_219 I'm not a carpenter, nor 50 years old... and I would be ashamed if I did this as well.
i’m a 58 ex cabinetmaker and i agree with you total hacks
I am and 80 year old carpenter and I would probably recommend replacing the entire kitchen

@Mini Content Man i know i just litle joking but i like this chanel 🤣👍
excellent idea
Brilliant idea.
You could also try car body filler. Just mix a bit with its hardener and fill the holes. It should be strong enough to drill a new hole into once fully hardened.
Oppure stucco a spruzzo più catalizzatore o stucco vetro resina
Or as I was taught more than 60 year's ago, one can simply put one or two tooth picks in and accomplish the same thing, but faster.
Or a couple of matches
Yep, many ways to fill a gap. I can't say anything about the 50 year old carpenter. Most carpenters know all sorts of tricks to do this.
If only you'd been taught how to spell "years" more than sixty years ago! 😉
Thank you very much
Excellent 🙏🙏🙏
The second method is the most funniest. It's hot clue so if the warm summer is coming.... First you can fill it with wood filler hardener that's much much stronger and more reliable. But why not use a bit larger screw in the first place 🤣
Larger screw won't fit through the hinge hole.
I like it, but please share what glue did you use. Thanks
Looks like CA glue (super glue) and then an activator that was sprayed at the end
Brilliant!
My Friend, well done 👍
You ballsed up the second screw with your drill driver - use a hand held screwdriver for the last couple of turns - gives you much better control and the perfect tightness
I have heard about cotton + CA glue or baking powder + CA glue as a sturdy filler. I did not know that aluminum foil + CA also could do the trick
🤦🏻♂️ das ist KZhead Müll! nimm Schleifstaub oder feine Sägespäne mit Sekundenkleber! das ist tausend mal besser! und verbrauchst nicht sinnlos irgendwelche anderen Materialien! zu 90% sind dieses ganzen angeblichen Tricks und Tipps totaler Schwachsinn! traurig, aber leider wahr!
@@1982rebell What the guy above wrote in German was: "this is youtube garbage! use sanding dust or fine sawdust with superglue! that's a thousand times better! and don't needlessly consume any other materials! 90% of all these supposed tricks and tips are total nonsense! sad but unfortunately true!"
Very good 👍🏻
최고입니다.
I use a two part filler for jobs like this. Wood filler or car filler both work. Same for sorting out messy oversized holes in masonry.
For a heavy duty fix fill it with JB Weld .
Glue and toothpicks are a lot stronger than bog
Could just use a slightly larger screw which would not involve the risk of drilling through the front of the door? Or a piece of dowelling, or a piece of plastic pipe, or or or lots of options easier than this
the hinge are designed to only take in certain size of screw, using a bigger screw would usually mean the head will not sit flush onto the hinge holes.
True but sometimes you have to use what you have available and I am not a carpenter so I don't have, for example, a bunch or super useful dowels lying around, or piece of plastic pipe and I don't know all these easier options you talk about. So this is helpful to me.
Toothpicks and wood glue work just fine
Thanks for sharing…….!
Most people would have just glued in a dowel of some toothpick chunks, or filled it with hot glue, or any other manner of simple abd cheaper options. By the way... Picks plus superglue = safety glasses
Super glue and baking soda. With threads of a screw bite into that even better?
Super ! merci.
I can’t find a video on how to hinge a rock together. Can you possibly help do one? That’s simple and works? Greatly appreciated. This video helps!
What type of glue did you use in the first method?
Superglue (cyanoacrylate) is usually what's used with these methods.
Und wieso klebt man nicht einfach zwei Holzdübel ein? 🤔
maestro!!!❤
An easy life hack. All you need is a laser guided drill tower, surely available in every household.
He didn't use a "set square" to align the hinge in the second version!
He’s getting better, lol.
Obviously, the hot glue must have a self leveling property!
very gooooooood!!
Great idea, i do that with other material , one extra step i do for new install or repair hinges , i put a dab of liquid nail, or hot glue or double gave tape to the bottom of the hinge ,the large part, that help it tremendously,
Baking soda might work just as well?
😂😂
Or even better, use cotton wool + superglue. Far easier than aluminium foil as it sets almost instantly and is stronger than the foil solution.
That is a good idea. I think for someone like me that is not a carpenter and would try and fix my own stuff this would work well.
That's exactly how aquarium guys glue their rocks together...
thanks!

Dokładnie.
Is stripping the screw thread an essential part of the procedure? 'Cos it looks horribly like that is happening from the way the leccy screwdriver bit keeps going round after the screw is driven home...
Klasse!
شكرا لك
Просто засуньте пару тройку спичек, можно с клеем если есть. И все.
При том, это дешевле и быстрее. ))
Just be careful you don't drill all the way through the door, like I did by accident once when installing Tot Locks on my brand new cabinet. Use a drill stop.
Awesome.
アルミホイルでアンカー作ったんですねw凄い！為になりましたありがとうございました。
You can buy hinge repair plates, one type does the door, the other type does the unit carcass, only a couple of pounds each, permanent repair, no messing about with crap shoddy repairs ideas, “real” joiners/carpenter’s use them 👍
Why not just do it right from the start? Use the hinge with the pre installed plastic dowel on the screw, intended for particle board/MDF panels. Or go buy the insert and fix it the way it was designed to used.
Those options aren't always available to everyone.
@@Martin-pb7ts BS, take some ownership and stop making excuses. If you can core a 35mm hole in a door you can also do some 10mm holes. Either that or get out of the f’ing business and stop turning out shoddy products.
