Cupboard hinge repair or replacement Fourways

Adjustments run R60 to R150 per door, hinge replacements R80 to R200 labour plus R30 to R150 per hinge, and a typical multi-door visit lands between R450 and R1,200. Torn-out screw holes add R100 to R250 per position to repair properly.

Concealed hinges drift out of adjustment with use — doors sag, rub, or spring open. Most modern hinges adjust in three directions with a screwdriver, so a flush, aligned door is usually a quick adjustment rather than a replacement. If the hinge is cracked or the screws are loose in the board, replacement is the fix.

No — this is the most common hinge failure and it’s very repairable. The torn holes are filled with proper wood repair or fitted with inserts, then re-drilled so the new hinge grips solidly. Simply forcing larger screws in is the fix that fails again. Vetted pros working in and around Fourways quote jobs like this every week, so sharing photos upfront gets you an accurate price fast.
