Right, I can try that. I don't know which araldite product you mean, a glue or resin? How about epoxy? I've got some of that twin tube epoxy from Poundland, always seems to work well for me but maybe I need something better.
This would be a permanent fix, i.e, screws can't be unscrewed because they're glued in, right?
Alternatively, how about this?

Good news is that I've fixed the bottom right carcass side panel.
I bought a Hafele repair plate as you suggested.
Bad news is that I damaged the outside!
I don't get it, the screws are shorter than the width of the panel. Any suggestions for patching it? I won't see it that much but it's annoying once you know it's there. I do have the piece that broke off.

Did not know they have made a plate for the door
I think i would try that first before resin/epoxy
Shame about the screws coming through
You can `try`gluing piece back on with pva.Cover area with cling film or plastic bag then G-Clamp over piece untill dry
This `may`look ok or may look crap.If it ends up looking rubbish you could put a strip of tape of some sort(maybe same colour? )along the bottom to hide the holes like a plinth...sort of

Yeah, I think a little piece of something like white electrical tape might be the simplest way to cover it up. But I can't see how to push in those broken areas and make them flush without loosening off the screws a bit.

Always file down the screw point to avoid it coming through.
Yeah, will do that next time. Strange though, the cabinet is 15mm thick and the screws are shorter. Maybe over tightening with the electric screwdriver forced it too far.

Seriously now if that was mine I would get myself a forstner bit to drill a new hole and move the hinge up or down -dead easy to do with the bit as you only drill it in to top of the round bit - If there are only two hinges on those doors I would fit a third in middle. Also do not use a battery driver to put the screws in.
