Cabinet and drawer problems we repair in Hanover Park
When one or two things in the kitchen are broken, a repair is the sensible fix. We come to your Hanover Park home, find out why the door, drawer or box failed and fix the cause, not just the symptom.
Drawers that stick or grind
We clean, adjust or replace the slides, and plane the box if it rubs, so the drawer opens smoothly.
Drawer box coming apart
Stapled drawer boxes loosen at the corners and drop their bottoms. We reglue and reinforce the joints or build a new box to the same size.
Door won't stay closed
If a door swings open on its own, the hinge has lost its tension or the cabinet has shifted. We find which and fix it.
Cracked or split cabinet door
A split panel or broken door joint can often be glued and clamped. When it cannot, we make or source a replacement door in the same style.
Sagging shelves
Heavy plates and cans make long shelves sag. We swap them for thicker material and new shelf pins.
Loose or missing pulls and knobs
We tighten, refit or replace pulls and knobs and fill oversized holes so they stay secure.
Water damage at the dishwasher
Swollen edges beside the dishwasher are a sign of past leaks. We repair or replace the affected panels after the source is fixed.
Where we look first
- DiagnosisEvery repair starts with finding the cause, whether it is a part, a leak or a shifted cabinet.
- Removing damaged partsWe take out only what is damaged and keep the sound parts.
- Hinges and adjustmentWe set every door we touch so it lines up with its neighbors.
- Drawer slidesOld slides are replaced in pairs and adjusted to run level and smooth.
- Drawer box repair or replacementLoose boxes are reglued and reinforced, or a new box is built behind the existing front.
- Frames, panels and shelvesLoose face frames are secured, damaged panels replaced and sagging shelves swapped out.
- Finish touch-upRepaired areas are filled, sanded and touched up to blend with the existing finish.
Parts we replace
Hinge repair plates and plugsMetal plates and hardwood plugs give stripped hinge spots a solid mount.
Full-extension slidesBall-bearing or undermount slides that open the whole drawer and carry heavy loads.
Mat for the sink baseWe can add a protective tray under the sink to keep small leaks from reaching the wood.
Plywood cabinet floorsPlywood holds up to moisture far better than the particleboard most sink bases started with.
Concealed and soft-close hingesWe match your hinge type or upgrade to soft-close concealed hinges.

DetailHanover Park kitchen, two-story colonial from the 1990s: kitchen cabinet & drawer repair
The site: a two-story colonial from the 1990s near Ontarioville. Before: white thermofoil cabinets peeling at the edges, oak trim and white double sink. The main complaint was worn, damaged cabinet parts that needed fixing. After: the same sink base with a new plywood floor, new soft-close hinges, door aligned. On site this meant drawer box repair or replacement, frames, panels and shelves, plus finish touch-up.

Kitchen Cabinet & Drawer Repair questions from Hanover Park homeowners
Can a cracked cabinet door be repaired?
Many can. We check the crack and tell you whether repair or replacement is the better choice.

If the cabinets are solid, repair and refinish is typically the less expensive route.
Do you repair just one cabinet?
Yes. Bring us a list and we will fix everything in one trip if we can.
Should I repair or replace my cabinets?
If the issues are a few doors, drawers or a sink base, repair. If the whole kitchen is falling apart, replacement is better value.
