DIY advice needed
 
One of my kitchen cabinets has come off. Is it possible to just screw it back in or does it need new hinges?
Another one won't close, but I probably just need to tighten the screws.
I have no idea if I can do this, but I'll try :ninja2:

Depends if the hinges are still intact, what's broken that made it come off?

Sounds like you need a whole new Kitchen.

Honestly... if you don't know, then you probably need someone else to do it. I'm all for people doing things themselves - but really if you don't even know if the hinge is just loose or broken, you'd be better getting someone who can do it to come round, and watch them/ask questions so you'll know next time.

As a total guess, for the one that's come off entirely, if the hinge itself isn't broken then the screw holes have probably degraded (widened) so you won't be able to screw it back on in the right place (for it to sit straight and close properly) without plugging the holes a bit.

Nothing a bit of superglue won’t fix

LT would be the go to man for this.

I've asked the agency to send their handyman.
I've tried to fix it, but it needs new hinges.

You need a bf to sort it all out.

Ahh if you rent get someone else to do it, not worth your time, energy or money. That's part of the benefit of renting - general maintenance isn't your problem.

For Oliver’s sake hopefully not a kitchen that identifies with gender-inconclusive pronouns.
