I have some door hinges with stripped screw holes, and I'm wondering what the best way to fix them is. Is there a special product I can inject into the hole to make it strong enough to hold the screw again? Or could I just use wood glue and stick a screw back in? Any suggestions would be appreciated!

You can also use toothpicks or bamboo skewers with some glue as a quick fix. Just insert them into the stripped hole and then screw in your hinge screw. It holds up pretty well for lighter doors!
Using wood glue and a wooden dowel can work wonders! Just drill out the stripped hole, glue the dowel in place, and let it sit for a day. Once it's dried, you can drill a new pilot hole for your screws. It's a solid fix!
Good to know! I'll give that a try if the dowel method doesn't work.
