Medicine Cabinet hanging on hinge

2 years ago

Hello. Our medicine cabinet fell off the top hinge when my children slammed it this morning. I am nervous it is going to fall and the glass will shatter. I want to try to repair it today but have no idea what that hinge is or what supplies I should look for at the hardware store. Can any kind soul guide me in the right direction?

If it looks like this, it slides back in and is secured with a small screw. It probably wiggled out and is around somewhere, either on the floor or in the sink trap.

I think its an easy fix by the looks if you can find the screw.

Even without the screw hou could at least hang the door back upright and use the mirror, just make sure a sign is on it until you can get a new hinge or screw. Just slide the two parts together.

How about a picture of the actual hinge? Both sides would be ideal.

Take the door off... the two hinges will be identical. You'll be able to identify the missing part by comparing. Take door or good hinge to the hardware store.
