When repair is usually enough

If cabinet boxes are solid, repairs like hinge replacement, drawer slide upgrades, and alignment can restore smooth function.
- Hinges and hardware
- Drawer slides
- Door/drawer alignment
- Panel reinforcement
When replacement makes more sense

If the cabinet structure is failing, the layout is wrong, or water damage is widespread, replacement may be the better long-term move.
