You’ve just installed a new kitchen cabinet, and you can’t believe how beautiful it looks. You’re excited to put all of your plates and bowls in their new home, but as soon as you start putting them away and screwing the doors shut, you notice that one of the screws has stripped its hole. What do you do? The answer is easy: use an epoxy filler!
Table of Contents
Method One:
Take a small piece of epoxy filler and knead it in your hands until it is a uniform color. Apply the epoxy to the stripped screw hole, using a toothpick if necessary. Let the epoxy dry completely (this will usually take around 24 hours). Once it has dried, reattach the cabinet door with screws.
Method Two:
If the hole is too large for epoxy filler, you can try using a metal screw and washer. Drill a new hole in the cabinet door slightly above and to the side of the old stripped one. Screw in a metal screw until it is tight. Place a washer over the screw head, then use a wrench to screw the metal screw into the wood. With a washer over it, no one will be able to see that there’s not just a plain old wood screw holding your door in place!
Method Three:
If you don’t have epoxy filler or a metal screw and washer, you can try using a toothpick to hold the cabinet door in place. Drill a new hole in the cabinet door slightly above and to the side of the old stripped one. Take a toothpick and push it into the hole until it is tight. Attach the cabinet door with screws.
Whichever method you choose, your cabinet will be good as new in no time! And remember: if at first, you don’t succeed, try, try again! There’s always a way to fix a stripped screw hole in a wood cabinet.

How To Fix Stripped Screw Hole in Wood Door Frame?
This is a guide on how to fix a stripped screw hole in a wood door frame. The tools you will need are:
-Screw Hole Repair Kit
-Drill
-Phillips head screwdriver
The first thing you need to do is identify the problem. If the hole has been stripped of its threads, then you will need to use the screw hole repair kit.
You can find it at any hardware store or home improvement center. If you are unable to fix the stripped screws, then you will have to drill a new one in its place so that you can replace your doorknob with a new one.
The first step is removing the old doorknob using the screwdriver. It is most likely held in place by screws on the interior of your door, so you will need to find them and remove them carefully with the screwdriver.
Now that the old doorknob has been removed, you can drill a new one into where it was using either an electric power drill or a manual one (with a drill bit). Make sure that it is in a straight line with the old hole and use the appropriate size drill bit for your screws.
Once you have drilled the new hole, take the screwdriver, and insert the screws into it until they are tight. You can now replace the doorknob by reversing these steps.
