Introduction |
| Life happens, and most of it seems to happen in our kitchens surrounded by cabinets; as life goes on, our cabinets tend to take a beating. This Fast Fix will show you how to reattach a cabinet’s broken center stile. A center stile is a strip of wood or metal that vertically divides a cabinet opening. It stops the cabinet doors from swinging inward when the cabinet is shut. Whether it’s just an eyesore or an attempt to protect or hide the contents inside, functioning cabinets are a necessity. | | | This guide explains how to easily stabilize your center stile with wood and wood glue to make your cabinets look and feel brand new! The instructions are appropriate for particle board, MDF (medium density fiberboard), or traditional wood stiles that have come detached from a cabinet. | | | If the stile is made of particle board like this one, use wood glue instead of nails. If you insert nails into already damaged particle board, it might crack. |
