@Purgative here you go. I couldn't rotate them. The door has the same damage as the unit i.e. the holes are broken.

Can you reposition the hinges ? Move them up or down to an undamaged part of the unit.

Remove the excess, sand a little as necessary. Fill with filler and leave it to set, then reattach. Had similar happen.

Thanks for the advice. I'll give the wood filler idea a go.
