I don't think I could move the hinge easily. The screws are not shown on the other side of the door. </p> <p>Thanks so much for the suggestions everyone! I will try the wood putty. My husband and I don't really know much about this kind of stuff. I didn't know wood putty was a thing! We will try that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-some-help-from-handy-bees#post-2341679 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 17:47:31 +0000 skipra 2341679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Could you put in those wall anchor things and screw into that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-some-help-from-handy-bees#post-2341650 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 16:44:53 +0000 mrschickpea 2341650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also suggest wood putty, let it dry and reattach with pointy screws! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-some-help-from-handy-bees#post-2341569 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 14:39:46 +0000 gingerbebe 2341569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would not move the hinge bc it looks like the piece on the door is attached using a hole that is cut into the door and unless you have a tool that can do that it's going to be a pain. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-some-help-from-handy-bees#post-2341567 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 14:38:29 +0000 gingerbebe 2341567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would either patch the holes with putty and reinstall but with short screws that have a point at the end - your existing screws look like flat ends, which are more conducive to popping out. Depending on the thickness of the cabinet you can go with a longer screw too but obviously you don't want it to go through the cabinet wall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-some-help-from-handy-bees#post-2341563 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 14:31:01 +0000 regberadaisy 2341563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would take that hinge off and reattach it at a lower part so that you're below the existing homes. You can't see the hinges and holes from the outside, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-some-help-from-handy-bees#post-2341560 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 14:24:58 +0000 reyorra 2341560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>two possible ideas:<br /> 1. fill in the holes with wood putty and when it's dry (wait a few days) reattach.<br /> 2. can you rehang the door? Take it off all the hinges and rotate it 180? You'll probably need to remove and reattach the handle too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-some-help-from-handy-bees#post-2341485 Sun, 01 Nov 2015 13:00:08 +0000 Umbreon 2341485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi bees! I was wondering if someone could help me out. We have a closet/cabinet in our laundry room and one of the door hinges has broken off. It looks like the place where it was screwed in is just really worn.</p> <p>Does anyone know how I could go about fixing it? See the picture below. </p> [attach=5948/15/nx5e08.337x600.20151101_115105.jpg]
