Hope you don't mind mne asking some basic questions/

What kind of fitting do you have. is the door an overlay with the blum type hinges?

or is it a framed unit with butt hinges?

why is the thinkmess of the material?

 

car body filler makes good filler and cheap

...drill a suitable sized hole(not all the way through), cut one of the above to correct depth, wind it in(just to make sure it fits and don't overdo it). Unwind it, glue and put it back in.
Use sutable screw to fix hinges to this.


Mr. HandyAndy - Really

 

Hi, dunc has the right idea by asking the questions, before anybody can tell you how to fix your problem. Possibly, with respect, you do not know what either a blum or concealed hinge is, so to help you understand, can you see any part of hinge when door is shut? Is part of hinge attached to your washer and the other part to your door? Is the part fixed to your door fitted into a 32mm diameter hole part way drilled in back of door? Is door 18mm thick?
Answer the questions and you will receive some answers.

 

Get a joiner in.

 

Its also possible that sooner or later the same problem will occur again even if the hinges have been moved. If the door gets a lot of regular use and takes a lot of wear and tear maybe the doors should be changed for something other than MDF or maybe even something thicker.

 

You really do need to get a joiner in and have a look. Ask your friends if they have had any work done recently so at least you might get some good recommendations. Don't just look in the Yello Pages and pick the first one (AAAAAArdvark Joiners) you come across.

 

Mary7, Was going to tell you how we fix them but on reflection it may be to difficult for you if you are on your own, so we will give you an alternative.
If the hinge has come of the base unit go to www fit com. In the search box type HP100. Click hinge repair plate and it will show you picture. 75p each.
If the hinge has come of door, go to www. dri-sil.co.uk/door-repair. Scroll down page will show you a picture. £7.98 pair. If you think that you can manage to screw these on, then go this route, however before you buy the later, give them a bell and ask them will the door repair hinge kit be suitable for a standard Magnet concealed kitchen door cupboard. If you don’t fancy these and you could get the old fellow who fitted your kitchen to do it for you, then I will tell you how we do it. Let me know. Hope this helps
