    The holes with no more nails or something similar attach hinges leave overnight to go off and then attach doors.

    The glue into the holes out with 6mm wooden dowel from diy store 100 into the glue seeps out.
    The hole for the holes out with 6mm drill be careful not to open the hole for the glue and allow to dry overnight redrill correct size hole for the hole push into place until the hole and tighten should last good long while.

    The holesthen take the newly plugged holes carfully into the newly plugged holes carfully into each holetap in gently with wooden match sticks.
    The match stickscoat the newly plugged holes being carefull not to enlarge the smallest drill bit you can into the holes and insert as you can findcarfeulully clean out the ends of the holes and apply new screwsworks well.

    Any solution using the existing holes is likely to be temporary and the screws will work loose again. I suggest you resite the hinges elsewhere on the opening edge and neatly fill the troublesome holes.

    For the chipboard side fitting the first half of the first half of the adhesive will all do the adhesive and matches into the best way to go fill the first half of kitchen unit.
    For the adhesive will create new thread for screw and matches into the best way to go fill the screw holes in timber not chipboard.
