Cupboard repair & installation

Takes about 10 min

A cupboard door that hangs low, will not close, or swings open on its own usually needs its hinges adjusted. The carpenter tightens the hinge plate, sets the three adjustment screws so the shutter sits level with its neighbours, and fills stripped screw holes so the hinge holds. A new hinge or a replacement shutter you have bought can be fitted on the same visit.

A single shutter takes about 10 minutes, from the price shown on this page. A swollen or broken board is quoted before any work.

Empty the shelf behind the shutter and keep any new hinges or handles out of their packets.

What's included

  • Hinges tightened and adjusted so the shutter sits level
  • Stripped screw holes filled so hinges hold
  • New hinge or shutter fitted from your parts
  • Handle or knob refitted
  • 30-day warranty on the work done

What's not included

  • Hinges, shutters, handles or boards
  • Repair of water-swollen particle board

How the visit goes

  1. 1

    Check the shutter

    The carpenter sees whether the shutter sags, gaps or will not stay shut.

  2. 2

    Fix the hinge mount

    Loose or stripped hinge screws are refixed so the plate holds firm.

  3. 3

    Fine-tune alignment

    The hinge screws are adjusted until the shutter lines up with the others.

  4. 4

    Test close

    You open and close the shutter to confirm it shuts flush.

What we need from you

  • Shelf behind the shutter emptied
  • New hinge or shutter, if replacing

Questions about this service

My cupboard door sags after a few months. Why?

The hinge screws loosen in particle board over time. The carpenter refixes them in sound material so the shutter stays up.

Can you install a new cupboard unit?

Small fixes and fitting a ready-made shutter are covered here. For a new built-in cupboard, book a Carpenter consultation for a measured quote.

Are hinges included?

No. You buy the hinges, or the carpenter picks them up at actual cost with your approval.
