Tradition cabinet hinges

Anyone had experience fixing cabinet door hinge falling off. Tried to put it back and tighten the screw but fell off again.

Sounds like they still use the European hinges I had on my 07 Elite. The mounting holes were too big. I used gorilla glue in the holes. It was a bear to fix if a hinge needed to be replaced but it saved a bunch of aggravation. I think at one time or another every cabinet door came off in my hand.

Remove the screws, put some wood glue into the screw holes, stick a piece of tooth pick in the hole, put screws back in and snug them up. It will stay in place for a long time, longer than you'll own the RV.

Thanks for the suggestions. We will be trying the Gorilla Glue.

it will work much better with a toothpick stuck in the hole WITH the glue and cut off even with the edge of the wood.

I would be reluctant to use Gorilla Glue. It expands as it dries out and could distort the alignment of the hinges.

Did every door in mine with Gorilla glue and it worked perfectly, but the toothpick and white glue would be more forgiving and make it easier to back out the srews at a later date.
