    Fixing a cracked cabinet door

    Mar 5, 2015 · Modified: Dec 8, 2017 by Jessy Freimann · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads ·

    Let me preface this post by saying that this is a quick fix. This is not meant to be a permanent fix, but it is working great for us for now. We are by no means DIY experts and I encourage you to do your research before attempting to fix broken items in your home.

    A quick and easy was of temporarilyy fixing a cracked cabinet door

    One day about a month ago, J pointed out a crack in the door to our lazy susan in the kitchen. I have no idea how or when this actually happened, though I suspect that it's my own fault because I frequently leave the lazy susan open.

    Ugly!!

    Let's take a closer look:

    A whole new door is simply not in the budget and likely won't be a for a while. But we needed to do something about that pesky crack. Luckily, J is brilliant and came up with a nice little quick fix in the form of these lovely mending plates:

    This is before I swooped in and "saved the day" with my magnificent cabinet-holding skills. Remember that time I tried to take credit for fixing things that I actually didn't fix?

This can totally be used for fixing a cracked cabinet door as well.

    What quick fixes have you made lately?

        While I don't wish cracked cabinets on anyone, I hope that if you're ever in that situation, this post helps :)
