Do you have a screw that won't stay in it's hole in the wood? Has the wood been stripped away? |
Remove the Screw from the wooden area where the screw has stripped away the wood. |
Then immediately screw your screw back in the "hole", no need to let it dry. Be sure to use regular wood glue (not Gorilla glue that I used last week, because that will expand.) |
By using this technique we fixed the latches on 3 cabinets that have come loose and a doorknob. I love that it was a minimal amount of work (even more minimal for me since my husband did most of this) with supplies we already had in the house.

This was so helpful! I have a hinge on a cabinet door that my son has leaned on too much causing it to do this. I didn't know I could fix it! Nice to know...
We have a door that is totally off its hinges (a very important door :-)) and we will have to try this. It will be nice to have my privacy again!
