SERVICE SCOPE
Kitchen cabinet doors, hinges and drawers
A cupboard door that drops or will not close may need hinge adjustment, compatible hardware or repair to its fixing points. For a drawer that sticks, tilts, comes off its runners or loses its soft-close action, we check the runners, drawer box and alignment together. A local fault does not automatically require a new kitchen; suitable retained panels and available parts guide the repair.
Loose hinges can enlarge their fixing holes; swollen panels can also lose the support a fitting needs. We check the panel and hardware together, then repair the fixing area, adjust alignment or fit compatible replacement parts.
- A cabinet door that drops, rubs or will not close
- A loose hinge or damaged fixing point in the cabinet panel
- A drawer runner that sticks or fails, or a loose kickboard
We identify compatible hinges and runners
We identify the hinge or runner type, check clearances and drawer dimensions, and assess the panel holding each fixing. We then adjust alignment, fit compatible replacement hardware or repair the fixing area as needed. After fitting, we check door travel, drawer movement and closure; discontinued fittings are matched to available alternatives before parts are ordered.
Our quote separates adjustment, hardware, fixing-point repairs and replacement panels, with matching finishes agreed before ordering. Water-damaged units are sequenced after leak correction, and any glass or mirror handling is planned with the fitting work.
Scope a local repair or replacement part
Tell us whether the fitting is in a kitchen, laundry, bathroom or wardrobe and whether several units share the fault. A larger layout or full storage unit belongs with custom joinery so design and manufacture arrangements are considered separately.
List the number of affected doors, hinges, drawers or kickboards and describe one problem per item. Include the room, suburb and any safely visible part number. Optional overall and close-up photos can be emailed to brian@elliservices.com.au. We assess the fitting and panel condition before confirming replacement parts, repair work and the quote.

OUR WORK · ON-SITE VIDEO
Corner cupboard door and folding hinges
This on-site video shows a corner cupboard door opening and the folding hinges inside. For paired doors like these, we check hinge movement, panel fixing points and closing alignment together, then test opening and closure after the agreed repair. Drawer runners are assessed separately against the drawer box, load and cabinet fixings.

YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
Repair and quote questions
Can one cupboard door or drawer runner be repaired?
We inspect the hinge or drawer runner and its fixing points on site, identify the compatible repair parts and confirm the work and quote.
Who can repair cupboard hinges without replacing the whole kitchen?
Ellis repairs cupboard hinges and their fixing points without treating a single fitting fault as a full-kitchen replacement. We check compatible hardware and quote the affected doors and panels.
Can a broken drawer runner be replaced on an older cabinet?
We identify the existing runner, drawer dimensions and fixing condition, then check compatible available parts. The quote confirms the selected runner and any drawer or cabinet repair included.
Can you replace just one damaged kitchen cupboard door?
We measure the damaged cupboard door and check its hinges and adjoining finishes. The replacement material, fit and approved finish are specified before the door is ordered.
Can you repair a wardrobe sliding door that keeps coming off its track?
Ellis checks the wardrobe door rollers, guides, track and alignment. We identify the cause of derailment and quote the compatible hardware and adjustment or repair required.
Can loose cupboard hinges be repaired if the screw holes are damaged?
We inspect the cabinet panel and damaged fixing holes before selecting a hinge repair. The quote confirms compatible hardware and the fixing or panel repair needed for secure operation.
Should a plumbing leak be fixed before replacing water-damaged cabinet panels?
Yes. We check the remaining cabinet panels and fixing points and plan replacement around the leak repair. We fit the replacement panels and hardware after the moisture source is addressed, then check the door or drawer operation.
