Thank you. I did glue only and it lasted about five years. I knew there must be something better.

Thank you so much for your advice, raw plugs for me.

Thank you very much, I'll definitely use toothpicks tomorrow to repair door locks.

What specific molly do I buy? I googled it but could only find anchor bolts for drywall. Really appreciate a link or name

[@Doityourselfwithjoe]

I left a link in the description. Don't worry if they don't go all the way in. Just trim it down. I couldn't find a link for a smaller box. I hope this helps!

Do you need to wait for the glue to dry?

[@Doityourselfwithjoe]

No you don't

I'm looking for that exact hinge for an old cabinet I'm working on. What is the name /dimensions of that hinge? I can't find that exact style anywhere! Thanks!

[@Doityourselfwithjoe]

here are the ones I think you are looking for, AxPower 60 PCS 3/8" Inset Hinges for Face Frame Kitchen Cabinet Door Satin Nickel Self Closing Cupboard Hinges amzn.to/41Cps1D Let me know if these are the ones. Hope this helps! It should atleast point you in the right direction.

Thanks for this. I've got those rocking adjustable cabinet hinges, and the stripped screw holes were on the inside of the cabinet. I tried the toothpick/glue method and after a couple months, the dang screws came out and the holes are stripped again. Is moving the hinge now the only thing to do?

[@Doityourselfwithjoe]

one last thing you can try. You can fill the hole with resin then redrill. Or you can try CA glue, fill the hole with CA glue (super glue) and install the screws. One other thing I've done is to install small dowels.

[@kmo5611]

@@Doityourselfwithjoe I will try one or both of these solutions! Thanks much. Also I think my screws were too short.

I use golf tees which work well. Sorry I posted before you finished.

[@Doityourselfwithjoe]

Yes they drive in to the hole nicely. Pun intended!

[@lcook0825]

@@Doityourselfwithjoe lol. They do work well and easy to carry in a tool bag.

[@sixtieskid]

Will super glue work instead of wood glue?

[@sixtieskid]

Also a match stick fits in the hole. I could use that with super glue?

[@Doityourselfwithjoe]

@@sixtieskid yes that will work.

[@sixtieskid]

@@Doityourselfwithjoe I bought a $19 drill at walmart and got the job done. Thanks so much for the info!
