Loose Door Hinge Repair in Singapore
Loose door hinges are tightened and re-secured from $60 at SG QuickFix, usually in 30 to 45 minutes. Where the screws spin in stripped holes, the holes are filled or longer screws are driven into firm timber so the hinge holds for good, not just until next month.

Task guide
When this may be needed
- Hinge screws spin without tightening.
- The hinge plate moves away from the frame when the door is opened.
- The door wobbles or clicks on its hinges.
- A screw head has stuck out and catches the door when it closes.
- You have tightened the screws before, and they loosened again.
What the team does
The technician checks each screw on every hinge. Screws that tighten properly are simply tightened. Screws in stripped holes are taken out, and the hole is filled with timber or set with a longer screw that reaches solid wood behind the frame lining. Screws with damaged heads are replaced. The door is then checked for alignment, since loose hinges often let a door drop, and tested.
Included in this price
- Checking and tightening every hinge screw
- Filling stripped holes or fitting longer screws
- Replacing damaged hinge screws
- Alignment check and testing
Limits & price factors
Bent or worn hinges are replaced under Replace standard hinge, from $70 plus parts. Split frames are repaired under Minor door frame repair.
The price covers one standard door. Many stripped holes, heavy solid doors and frames with soft timber take longer.
FAQs
Each time the door swings, it levers the top hinge away from the frame. Once a screw hole wears, simply tightening the screw doesn't last. Filling the hole or reaching firm timber with a longer screw is the lasting fix.
A longer screw into solid timber often works. A screw that is too thick can split the frame or not sit flush in the hinge, so the size is chosen to suit the hinge.
Often, yes. Loose hinges are the most common reason a door drops. If the door still doesn't hang square, the hinges are adjusted as well.
Usually 30 to 45 minutes per door.
