Cabinet door hinges, soft-close cups and sagging doors

Cabinet door repair in Singapore is usually a hinge that has come out of particle board, a soft-close damper that no longer damps, or a door that was hung out of square. The cabinet page prices alignment and hinge adjustment at S$50 to S$100 a visit, hinge replacement at S$40 to S$100 a hinge, and a generic hinge from S$38 a door. Those three sentences are easy to blur. Alignment means the carcass is sound and the door needs setting. Replacement means the hinge itself is dead. The generic line is the one to use only when the hinge is generic. If the cup says Blum, the hinge guide prices a Clip Top 110 degree pair at S$90 to S$180 and a 155 degree pair at S$120 to S$220. Hafele and Excel are explained on that same guide. We do not average them into one hinge.

Wardrobe doors that swing use this page. Wardrobe doors that slide do not. Sliding rollers are S$160 to S$280, a bent track is S$240 to S$420, and a heavy mirror re-hang is S$280 to S$550. People search wardrobe door repair and mean whichever door they have. Say swing or slide. A PAX hinge that fails a year after assembly is this page, not a second full wardrobe assembly at S$100 to S$650.

Overhead doors that will not stay up are often the gas strut, not the hinge. The cabinet page prices a 100N or 120N strut or a Blum AVENTOS lift stay at S$90 to S$280. A storage-bed strut pair is a different product at S$180 to S$380. Do not put a bed strut in a kitchen flap. If the screw holes in the chipboard are stripped, a larger screw is the wrong fix. The door then tears out a bigger cone. Quote on inspection when the side panel can no longer hold a cup, because that is a carcass repair. An under-sink base that is swollen is S$280 to S$450, and the leak is fixed before the new panel goes in. A hinge on a wet board fails again.

The permit guide already lists a cabinet hinge or gas strut as permit-exempt when the layout stays, invoiced by Homey Furnishing. A new kitchen layout is the permit, invoiced by V On Construction, and the comparison on the cabinet page puts a full kitchen carpentry replacement at S$5,000 to S$6,500. One hinge is not that kitchen. HDB drilling, if a new pilot is needed, stays in the weekday daytime window. Condo by-laws can be stricter about Saturday noise. None of that changes the hinge band.

Laminate on the door is a separate complaint. If the door still closes and only the skin has chipped, do not replace the hinge to hide the chip. Door-leaf laminate patching is S$160 to S$350 when the photo is that door sentence. A cabinet skin that is not a room door is quote on inspection. Handles and knobs with no published furniture price stay quote on inspection. A room-door handle is the door handle page, not a cabinet cup.

Homey Furnishing Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 202018148K), 27 Mandai Estate, #06-10 Innovation Place, Singapore 729931, invoices permit-exempt furniture assembly and repair. V On Construction Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 201611708H), on the HDB Directory of Renovation Contractors, invoices an HDB renovation permit when the work is a new layout, hacking, or a built-in strip-out. Homey Furnishing is not a removal company and does not publish a truck rate.

Curtains, blinds and roller shades are not part of this booking. Fabric window treatments are a different product, and these pages do not quote them.

Look at the piece in the room. Do not drag a tall wardrobe across a wet floor to test it.

1. Photograph the hinge cup, including any stamp.
2. Say kitchen, wardrobe swing, or sliding wardrobe.
3. If the board crumbles, stop. That is not a S$38 hinge.
4. Do not use a bedroom-door hinge price on a cabinet cup.
5. Expect the row that matches the stamp.

The building changes the permission and the disposal path. It does not invent a second price.

How you're charged

A furniture job that already has a sentence on HomeySG uses that sentence. Nothing in this table is a fuel surcharge, and the handyman hour is not added on top of a band unless the written scope says so. IKEA publishes its own checkout fee. That percentage is not a HomeySG band.

Who is allowed to do the work

The permit guide on this site already splits hardware from a renovation. A cabinet hinge, a gas strut and a drawer runner do not need an HDB renovation permit when the layout stays. A new kitchen or bathroom layout, hacking, or removing a wall does. Fines for unauthorised work are already written there as up to S$5,000. Homey Furnishing does not sign the permit invoice.

• Flat-pack assembly uses the furniture assembly catalogue. Tall units are wall-anchored on that visit. A separate anti-tip price is not printed, except the child-gate and anti-tip bundle at S$180 to S$420 when that bundle is the job.
• A built-in that has to come off the wall can become a strip-out. That is V On Construction if the flat is HDB and the work needs a permit. A loose shelf inside a carcass is not a strip-out.
• Town councils collect some bulky loose items on their own rules. We are not the collector, and we do not publish their fee.
• A new cable inside a wardrobe is an electrician. Assembly does not include a new circuit.
• Do not anchor into a household shelter wall. The permit guide already keeps TV brackets and shelves off that wall.
• A hollow partition or a false ceiling is a poor anchor for a tall wardrobe. If the fixing cannot reach structure, the visit stops.
• Active termites are not painted over. Skirting and door-frame replacement after damage uses the termite page bands. We do not claim to be the pest-control operator.
• Curtains, blinds and roller shades are not quoted here.

Ways to keep the bill smaller

• Photograph every piece before a carpenter is booked. A hinge visit is not a new kitchen.
• Put the flat-pack in the room where it will stand. Carrying a built wardrobe down an HDB corridor is a second job.
• If the drawer only sticks, use the published slide row. A new carcass is the cabinet page, and only when the board is swollen.
• Book the town council bulky slot before you pay anyone to truck a loose sofa. Many councils collect a limited number of loose items. Built-ins are usually excluded.
• Photograph the stamp inside the cup. A generic price on a Blum door is the wrong sentence, and the reverse is also true.

WhatsApp the photos to +65 8561 0630.

Match the stamp. The visit price and the pair price are not added together unless the scope lists both.

Anything not in that table is quote on inspection.

WhatsApp the photos to +65 8561 0630. The reply uses a band already printed on HomeySG, or it says quote on inspection.
