burgess 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2007 which part of the hinge has rotted? if it's the door, there is a carpenter who always advertise in ST classified ads for changing of cabinet doors.its some of the wood round the hinges, both on door and cupboard. i prefer not to make new doors or even change the cabinet at this moment and so i need someone who can provide a cheap and fast solution... anyway, i will check the st ads. thanks!

Nipponho 0 Report post Posted December 14, 2007 A reno contractor quoted me $80 per door, but i believe u can get it cheaper if u go to workshops.
