Repair MDF with a dowel plug. |
A bolted connection like a hinge into MDF will eventually pull the screw out of the MDF. The wear and the tear pulls on the screw and enlarges the hole.
A newly drilled pilot hole for a hinge screw. |
A well used hole for a hinge screw. The tension on the screw will enlarge the hole. |
I was able to drill a pilot hole for the screw in the dowel without it spinning, but you should apply glue to the dowel and insert it into the opening.
The wood dowel is a harder wood than the MDF and will prevent this type of failure from occurring again.
