The cabinets will be next to each other so the screws will not show, except for the last cabinet that is exposed. I will also use gorilla glue to help reinforce the joints.

We want to add an over the range microwave in place of the fan that is currently there. My husband said that the cabinets are "bolted to the wall" and he will use an electric drill to remove the screws. Then with the help of two guys to hold the cabinets, he can move them higher and re-screw them in. He had done some good handyman stuff recently but is typically not experienced in it, sometimes getting frustrated and tearing things up. I don't want the kitchen demolished. Is this a good plan he has?

Hi there so I've decided to replace my old kitchen cabinets with new doors. I'm going to have remove the old hinges (the mounting plates) from the inside of the cabinets because they don't line up with the newer hinges. There are two screws..philips head I thought would take care of them but the moment I start trying to unscrew them they move about a 1/4 turn counterclock wise and then they just don't move anymore...no matter how hard I turn! I thought maybe it was a bum screw but all the mounting plate screws have this little give and then that's it...no more movement. I'm guessing there's some sort of jacket holding the screw?? Any hints on how to get these screws out would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to fix my kitchen cabinet doors. The doors use hinges which fit into clean cut depressions in the door that are circular and go into the door about 3/4 deep into it. Next to these big holes that the hinge piece fits into are two smaller holes to fasten the hinge in with screws. My problem is that these holes are so worn away no molly bolt will go into them. The holes are chewed into crap and have no ability to hold anything. I have been told that there is no type of glue or wood putty which is strong enough to take the wear of a hinge area on a door so I just figure the only way to do this is to cut into the door and make a bigger depression around the areas where the screws go in so I can glue bigger pieces of wood in and then put the screws in...Is this the best way to do this or is there an easier way? It seems so complicated and expensive buying new cabinet doors that I thought I should try this instead. any thoughts?

The doors are made of particle board (covered in laminate), and the screw holes in the wood where the hinges attach are stripped or too big for the screws now.

The walls in my kitchen are all brick and mortar. I'm going to be installing new cabinets and am not sure the best way to secure them. The current cabinets are fastened using screws and I assume anchors. Should I do the same and add a layer of liquid nails? I thought about running some boards behind them and screwing into that, but due to the layout you'll see them, so I'm trying to avoid that. Suggestions? Advice?
