Question: Wood Split at Hinges
I love this segment about hinges. It’s the Question of the Week. Ask me the question and I’ll give you an answer.
Question from Jason B – in Sacramento
We moved into our new-construction home 2 months ago.
About half of the cabinet frames are splitting where the kitchen hinges screw-in.
I’ve asked the builder how they’re going to repair the cracks. They said they’re only going to fill the cracks with wood putty, but not glue.
I asked if they would use glue and re-drill the holes, but they said no.
Two Questions:
What is the proper solution for my problem?
What outcome should we expect?

I want to thank Jason for sending this in… It’s a good question and I’ve seen the picture. These are inverted hinges. They’re hidden hinges.
