Cabinets have a lifespan of 15 to 50 years depending on their building materials. The appearance of cracks around the door hinges of melamine or wood cabinets is sometimes taken as a signal for a full kitchen renovation. However, there is a more cost effective solution for loose cabinet hinges. Our hinge-repair plate allows you to repair any damage to the cabinet and/or cabinet doors, making your cabinets safer and more durable, and extending their lifespan. The plate is compatible with 35-mm European-style hinges, which are a standard used by most mainstream brands, including Blum and Richelieu.
