Hinge Repair Plates for Cabinets and Doors
Hinge Repair Plates for Cabinets and Doors
A hinge repair plate is used when the screw holes around a hinge have become worn or damaged. The plate covers the affected area and creates new fixing points for the hinge.
The repair plate can be fitted to the door around the hinge cup or to the cabinet side around the mounting plate. The model in our range is made from AISI 201 stainless steel, measures 90 × 90 mm and is supplied with screws.
Unlike a replacement mounting plate, a repair plate reinforces a damaged fixing area and allows the hinge to remain approximately in its existing position.
