So, I am on to my fourth set of corner cupboard hinges and still no luck. I have a screwdriver permanently in the kitchen and need to adjust and re-tighten them every day or two. Does anyone have any advice on what I can do?
Hello, do you mean the the door hinges are falling off from the cupboard shell? I have the same issue, my fix is to drill our the plastic plugs and use https://www.bunnings.com.au/selleys-250ml-pva-wood-glue-aquadhere-interior-adhesive_p1233002 to glue dowel in the holes, then I drill the screws back into the dowel. Hope that helps.
Hello @Lindilou
Welcome to Bunnings Workshop! I suggest changing the hinge set for the corner cabinet The Kaboodle kitchen has a 10 year warranty on parts and that includes the hinges. If you can bring in your proof of purchase or perhaps a record of your plan when it was made in the store you should be able to get new hinges for your corner cabinet. I'm sorry to hear you have to keep adjusting them. If you have any other questions or anything else we can help with pleas post it here on workshop
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Lindilou. It's a pleasure to have you join us, and many thanks for your question on Kaboodle hinges.
I'm sorry to hear of your experience so far, and we'd really like to assist in getting this sorted.
If you could let us know whether it is the screws fixing the hinge into the timber cabinetry or the screw holding the hinge components together, that would be beneficial. Are the screws pulling out of the timber, or is the hinge falling apart? Perhaps you might like to upload an image to illustrate.
If the screws are pulling out of the timber, I suspect it might call for something similar to @Matty72's solution. If the hinges themselves are coming apart, then applying some Loctite 243 10ml Adhesive Threadlocker to their screw could stop it from backing out and needing re-tightening.
In either case, once you provide a little more information, I would be happy to contact Kaboodle to discuss the issue.

My problem is the hinge on the corner cabinets gets loose so I gonna tighten it a few times a day I'm over it
Hi @klandles
In my opinion you have every right to be over it and I would join you 1000% in saying that about your hinge! I know the annoyance of loose hinges too in fact I have one right now and the door just flops around.
@klandles Is it possible? Can you let the Bunnings people join with you to find a solution with you turning that frown upside down I know they want to help your situation too.
Your have all ready done hard part reaching out. Is there any posts above in @Matty72 situation that you can try or relate to.
Hang in there.
My problem is the hinge that holds the corner door I gonna keep tighting it or the door just flops
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @klandles. It's great to have you join us, and many thanks for jumping into the discussion.
Sorry to hear you are having difficulties with your cabinet hinges. If you could upload an image of the hinge and point out which of the screws are being troublesome, that would allow our members to offer useful suggestions.
Have you swapped the hinge out for a new one at all? Is there any obvious damage to the hinge, or is the timber degraded if these are screws into the cabinetry? If the screw that is loosening is the one connecting the two halves of the hinge, you can try some Loctite 243 10ml Adhesive Threadlocker. This product prevents screws/bolts from loosening and backing out of metal threads.
I look forward to hearing more about the issues you're experiencing and helping to resolve them.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Great photo it really shows your point well.
I am thinking if it was my hinge you might need a replacment hinge might be the strongest repair as you have had to try uber tighten that screw over time. Some times you get hardware that is not too specifications and that screw mount might be worn over size now too.
Loctite like @MitchellMc is also good to start with but for the price of a new hinge. Your sanity is worth saving .
I would use both a new hinge and loctite.
@Lindilou Says they on there 4th set of hinges. Maybe change brands I would almost want to add a one or 2 extra hinges but that requires so accurate machining.
Just to add to the suggestions made, I recommend having a look at the Hafele Salice 70° Bifold Corner Hinge Clip On - 1 Pair. Please note that both hinges must be replaced when upgrading them to the new set. The Hafele set is much more robust as the adjustment is located in the main body of the hinge.
If you run into any other issues with the hinges, please let us know.

I have I have the same problem. So over it. It’s sad that I will not buy another kaboodle product because of a hinge!
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @ajreyno. It's great to have you join us, and many thanks for jumping into the conversation.
I'm sorry to hear of your experience. Have you contacted Kaboodle or one of our stores to alert them to your issue? There's a ten years warranty on all cabinets, hinges, drawer runners, handles, doors, panels and laminate benchtops in their range. You can either speak with one of our team at your local store's Special Orders counter with your proof of purchase or contact Kaboodle directly, but typically they'll just swap the hinges over for you.
Please let me know if you need assistance having your faulty hinges replaced.
