My cabinet in the laundry room lost a door because the the wood broke?
Question:Can I fix it? The wood broke and the doors just came off. I tried tape but it was not strong enough toi hold the doors together and now I am mad.
Is it normal for doors to break like this even if normal force was used to open the door? My house is 40 years old and the cabinet came with the house and is fastened right onto the house.
Answers:
Anything can be fixed. Glue may be all you need, but which type and how you should apply is not clear becaus it is not clear if the door or the cabinet wall broke.
You need to supply a bit more information.
Is it a white vinyl-covered or plastic-coated door?
Is it real wood or pressboard / waferboard/ man-made wood?
Is it framed with panel inserts, or solid wood panel.
Is the break a long split in the wood, or did a piece of it break off around the point where the hinge is attached?
Hinges can often be re-attached by filling the holes with a bit of glue and a wood matchstick, or other wood piece, then putting the screws back in place.
The common material (pressed wood/man-mad particle board) that comes covered in vinyl or paint is highly porous, and not very strong, so you need to describe how it broke to determine what means is best to repair it.
Solid wood can be glued and clamped. Use a carpenter grade glue and wipe the surface clean after clamping.
You are a retard did you know that just kill yourself.
Go to Home Depot or Lowes, the appliance department, they have a wide range of cabinet door for sale. Measure the door, take these measurements to the store and get the same type of door, you'll have to hang it yourself.
