Stop Fighting Your Cabinets

Drawer Slides, Hinges, and Hardware Repair That Lasts

You open the kitchen drawer for the third time today and it grinds, jams, then dumps its contents sideways because one slide has given up. The bathroom vanity door hangs at a slight angle, never quite closing. The soft-close mechanism on that one cabinet stopped being soft about two years ago and now it just slams. These aren't renovation problems — they're repair problems. And they're exactly what we fix.

Craft & Hands repairs cabinet and drawer hardware throughout the home. Kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, built-in shelving, laundry room storage, garage cabinets. We replace worn slides, adjust misaligned hinges, install soft-close adapters, tighten loose handles, and make your cabinets work smoothly again — without replacing the cabinet boxes or doors.

Cabinet and Drawer Repairs We Handle

• Drawer slide replacement — Side-mount ball-bearing slides, undermount slides, center-mount slides. We match the slide type and length to your existing drawer. Full-extension slides so you can actually reach the back of the drawer. See our drawer slide repair Santa Monica page for area-specific service.
• Soft-close slide and hinge retrofits — Add soft-close to existing drawers and doors without replacing the entire cabinet. We use clip-on adapters for hinges and replacement slides with built-in soft-close mechanisms.
• Cabinet hinge repair and replacement — European-style concealed hinges, face-frame hinges, overlay and inset hinges. We adjust doors that don't close flush, replace bent or worn hinges, and align doors so they sit evenly.
• Loose handle and knob repair — Pulls that spin, knobs that wiggle, handles with stripped screw holes. We tighten, thread-lock, or fill-and-redrill as needed.
• Drawer box repair — Loose joints, separated corners, broken drawer bottoms. We re-glue and clamp, replace drawer bottoms, and reinforce corner joints so the drawer is structurally sound.
• Cabinet door alignment — Adjusting hinges in three dimensions (height, depth, side-to-side) so doors sit flush, gaps are even, and they close properly against the cabinet frame.

Kitchen and Bathroom Focus

Kitchen cabinets take the most abuse — daily opening and closing, heavy loads in pots-and-pans drawers, heat and humidity from cooking. Bathroom vanities face moisture and frequent use in tight spaces. We understand these environments and use hardware rated for the application: corrosion-resistant slides in bathrooms, heavy-duty slides (100lb+ rating) for kitchen base cabinets, and hinges with the right overlay for your cabinet style.

Cabinet Repair Process

1. Text photos of the problem — Show us the stuck drawer, sagging door, or broken slide. Include a photo of the cabinet interior and the existing hardware if visible. Send to +1 (323) 212-0457.
2. We quote a flat rate — A single drawer slide replacement or hinge adjustment fits the $179 Service Call. Multiple drawers across the kitchen fits $369 Home Fix. A full kitchen cabinet tune-up throughout fits $899 Multi-Task. See our cabinet drawer repair Los Angeles combo page for detailed pricing scenarios.
3. We bring the hardware — We carry common slide sizes and hinge types on the van. For unusual or proprietary hardware, we source it and return for installation.
4. We repair, test, and clean up — Every drawer opened and closed multiple times, every door swung, every soft-close tested. Wood shavings and old hardware removed.

When Repair Makes More Sense Than Replacement

Cabinet boxes last decades. The hardware wears out long before the wood does. Replacing a full kitchen of cabinets because half the drawers stick is a $15,000-$40,000 project. Replacing drawer slides and hinges is a few hundred dollars in hardware and labor. If your cabinet boxes are solid and the door faces are in good shape, hardware repair is almost always the smarter move — especially in rental properties, homes you're preparing to sell, or older Los Angeles homes with well-built original cabinets that just need a hardware refresh.
