Troubleshooting
Screws do not seem to grip properly.
Ensure you are using the correct screws for the mounting plate and cabinet material. If the wood screws are not gripping, the underlying material may be too soft or damaged. Consider using appropriate wood filler or a larger screw if possible, though this kit is designed for standard screw engagement.
Repair plate does not sit flush.
Check for any debris or obstructions in the mounting area. Ensure the repair plate is correctly oriented and that the original mounting plate is not severely warped or damaged beyond the scope of this repair kit.
Hinge still feels loose after installation.
Verify that all screws on the repair plate are tightened securely. Check the hinge arm connection to the repair plate and ensure it is also properly fastened according to the hinge manufacturer's instructions.
