I have maple cabinets and someone tripped on it and it broke in half lengthwise. What kind of glue would I use to put this together?

I would use gorilla glue but if I wanted to look really nice I would call a local cabinet making shop and ask them for advice on how to do it right ...

Well option one would be you could use wood glue and then sand and restain the cabinet to match the others and finish with a sealer, or just restain all of them so they match if you can't find a close enough stain to match the repaired cabinet (which would require you to sand all of the cabinets prior to staining and sealing). Option two would be to just replace the cabinet door. I'd opt for number one though it's more cost effective unless you are up for option three and can upgrade and redo all the cabinet doors and give a face lift to the kitchen.

Do you mean a door panel? I would either find a replacement that matches or use wood glue and clamp it together and let it set...ideally, depending on the thickness of the wood, you would cut two biscuit holes and use two biscuits with the glue to repair it...this link may help...

I'm not gonna ask how that happened.... You could use gorilla glue... I had some antique table legs that were splitting and I used gorilla glue and it works wonderful. Just follow the directions and clean up any excess before it dries...

you want to use a good carpenter glue,clamp it for at least 12hours,sand it so the seam is as invisible as possible,then stain it the same color,you might have to experiment on a scrap piece to get the color right then put a protection coat of poly urethane

May have to put wooden braces on top of each end and again at bottom of each end. Put braces on inside of cabinet.
