how do i fix hinges on cupboard doors?

Question

Or do I have to get them refaced? What are some costs?

Thank you MOB. In detail, the screw on the hinges does not go back in and the hinge just separates-so the cupboard door is way off upon closing. I paint professionaly and am trying to learn more about house repair.

Answer 1

okay, first don't get them refaced. Home Depot sells hinges as does Restoration Hardware (more $$$$). You can easily replace the hinges. As for the doors themselves, I am assuming they are wood - strip whatever is on them or sand them down to the wood - once there apply a coat of "Bin" - then buy a gallon of paint and put on one coat - let it dry. Now take steel wool or fine sandpaper and lightly sand this - very very lightly - add another coat - dry it - sand again - the third coat is final. I have cabinets that are from the 1800's with the hinges and this is what I did - worked for me and hopefully for you too :o)................once you start down the road of refacing of the cabinets be prepared to see that the counters, floors and whatever else is in the kitchen needs to go too.........

Depends what you mean by fix. If you just mean looks wise, it is probably cheaper to buy new ones.
