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 Easy fixes for Loose or Outdated Cabinet Hardware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!
