As foxhole said, I use hinge repair plates.
BUT i always get ones that come with screws.
The reason being that I find the screws that are on your old hinge do not always fit the screw thread on the hinge plate.
So I throw away the screws off the old hinge and use the screws that come with the hinge plate and that I know will match the hinge plate tread.

Thanks for your suggestions , I have bought some repair hinges from screwfix looks good apart from I need to saw the front bit off as they go back too far

Tally,
those front bits add a lot to the strength as they transfer some of the load onto the front edge of the cupboard chassis.

Your hinges should have adjustment to slide them backward and forwards.

So when I used them I put the hinge repairs in place, found the holes has moved forwards a little, so made a new holes in the wood below to take the new position of the hinge screws, put the hinges in place, and then adjusted the hinge to account for its new position.

Hi SFK
Thanks for your explanation , I tried to adjust the hinges on my units and they don't move that much, its a German manufacturer if that makes any difference. Hopefully they will work ok

Tally,
Fully understand. In these cases you simply have to do what you need to do. And it should be noted that my experience is limited to only a few doors.
Keep us updated as always good to hear outcomes as we can learn more.
