FixIt Files: Tighten Up! Easy fixes for Loose or Outdated Cabinet Hardware



Ever grabbed a cabinet handle only to have it wiggle like a loose tooth? Yeah, it’s annoying—but luckily, it’s an easy fix! Over time, all that opening and closing can loosen up screws. Just grab a screwdriver and tighten them back up. If a screw won’t stay put, try sticking a tiny piece of a toothpick in the hole before reinserting the screw—instant grip!

Now, if your hardware isn’t just loose but also looking a little blah, why not swap it out for something fresh? Sleek black handles? Vintage brass pulls? There are tons of options to match your style. Most new hardware fits existing holes, but if not, no worries—wood filler, a little sanding, and a drill can make quick work of it.

Whether you’re tightening up or trading out, this small update makes a huge difference. Your kitchen or bathroom will feel refreshed, and you’ll wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. Happy fixing!
