Einleitung
When your cabinet is hanging on just one hinge, the door is unable to close all the way. This can damage the wood on the cabinet and the hinge itself. With this quick and easy guide to replace a broken hinge, you can save your cabinet door.
Unlike other hinge replacement guides on iFixit, we're focusing on replacing a butt hinge, which is better for holding heavier items than others. It is for this reason that it's so important to replace any broken butt hinge—the possibility of damaging your heavy cabinet door is more likely.
