 I am having a kitchen cabinet where i need to change the hinge but the screw hole of the aluminum frame has loosen due to some screw/unscrewing. What should I use to pad the hole so that i could tighten the screw again, do be informed that aluminum layer is quite thin. |

Glue it in with construction adhesive, or 2-part epoxy. Drill a pilot hole for the hinge screw, and then only mount the hinge. good idea! |

The easiest way, is to use a slightly bigger screw, it will lock well. I did that. By the way, how long your hydraulic pump can last? |
