Cabinet door falling off or misaligned? Here's Who to Call
A cabinet door that hangs crooked, won't close properly, or has fallen off its hinges is usually caused by worn-out hinges, stripped screw holes, or a warped door. In kitchens, this is more than cosmetic — loose doors near hot stovetops or heavy dishes are a safety hazard. A handyman or cabinet specialist can replace hinges, fill and re-drill screw holes, or rehang the door to restore smooth, secure operation.
