Cabinet and drawer problems we repair in Lisle
We repair kitchen cabinets and drawers: doors that sag or will not close, slides that grind, drawer boxes coming apart and cabinet floors damaged by water. In Lisle we usually fix the problem in one visit, with parts brought along or ordered to fit.
Loose or missing pulls and knobs
Spinning knobs and loose pulls often need new screws or a repair to a worn hole. We match missing hardware where it is still made.
Door won't stay closed
Doors that drift open often have worn hinge springs or a cabinet that is no longer level. We replace hinges or adjust the box so doors close and stay shut.
Stripped hinge screw holes
Hinges that keep pulling loose need a stronger mount, not longer screws. We rebuild the spot and rehang the door.
Drawer falls off its track
A drawer that drops or jumps the track usually has a broken roller, a bent slide or a loose mounting screw. We replace the slides as a pair.
Broken shelf pins and clips
Missing or broken shelf supports leave shelves wobbling or tilted. We replace them with the right size for your cabinets.
Swollen sink base floor
If the bottom of your sink cabinet sags or crumbles, it can usually be rebuilt in place without replacing the cabinet or the counter.
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.
- Checking for active leaksUnder the sink we check for drips and dampness so a repaired cabinet does not get wet again.
- Removing damaged partsSwollen bottoms, broken slides and failed hinges come out cleanly without harming the rest of the cabinet.
- Repairing hinge mountsStripped holes are plugged or fitted with repair plates so hinges hold.
- Hinges and adjustmentWe set every door we touch so it lines up with its neighbors.
- Drawer box repair or replacementWe repair failing drawer boxes or replace them while keeping your fronts.
- Frames, panels and shelvesLoose face frames are secured, damaged panels replaced and sagging shelves swapped out.
