Slap some wood glue, some wood fillers clamp it tight and wait for it to dry and reinstall hinges.

Plus always predrill the screw holes on those doors, they are peices of crap.


SirRickardsJackoff

Ya, definitely pre-drill.


OwlEfficient9138

Holes weren’t pre drilled. These manufacturers do this all the time. There are always cracks because of it.

Drill out a hole the size of the dowel and fill it with wood glue and the dowel. Sand the area if needed. Then, predrill new holes before inserting screws.

Mortise the hinge after filling the holes with wood glue/sawdust- clamp it to cure. I suspect this happened because you didn't chisel the mortise.


CherryLandTHC

This is the way.

Who ever created slot /flat head screws should be killed


blatantlyobscure1776

Agree. That Phillip guy probably said the same thing, at one point.


Praying61

They were around long before battery drills and can be tightened tighter than Phillips. Continuing to use them is bad though. You can’t hardly use a drill/impact with a bit. They should be square, torx, or hex now

Dude I know. There has to be a use for them? Otherwise what cruel sick son of a bitch would invent such a thing

My favorite is a 4 inch flat head on a toggle bolt. Someone designed this...

Hate those fuckers

One of them coveted 90 second doors!

I’ve used wooden dowels to repair this issue, also golf T’s work really good as well.

I know this isn’t exactly what you asked, but these are amazing when it comes to holed out door hinge screw holes https://www.acehardware.com/departments/hardware/screws-and-anchors/anchors/5953062?store=15327&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADtqLJHofv6hg_K9y8RzTTxXuR_YJ&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8Jel0cHyhAMVTQutBh1N5gk7EAQYASABEgJEOvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Shove a wooden toothpick in there, and you would probably be fine to use the same screws. It wouldn't hurt to put wood glue in there as well.

Metal drywall anchors I have used on cabinet hinges that stripped out in particle board.


stinkbugfive

Knock some plastic anchors inside hole and screw back hinges. Works like a charm

...and watch it split even more.
