Hello everyone,
I have an issue with some of my Ikea METOD kitchen cabinets. Over time, the screws on the cabinet doors become loose, causing the doors to wobble noticeably. This affects their function and becomes annoying in the long run. I’m looking for a repair solution that isn’t too complicated, ideally without having to completely disassemble the cabinets or replace the screws and wall plugs entirely.
Has anyone had experience with quickly and effectively tightening loose METOD screws? Are there any tips to improve the stability of the connection with minimal tools and effort?
It’s important to me that the method is as durable as possible and doesn’t damage the furniture. Maybe something simple like wood glue, small parts, or similar?
Thanks in advance for your advice!

Before repairing with glue, make sure to check whether the hinges are positioned correctly and are not under excessive stress.Very good advice, thanks! I’ll carefully check this right away and adjust the alignment if necessary before starting with the glue and toothpick.
Summary so far: I will begin with cleaning, filler material, and wood glue, then add screws – while simultaneously correctly aligning the hinges. If that’s not enough, I’ll consider repair sleeves.
Thanks again to everyone for the clear and well-founded contributions.
