    Default Seeking for help to fix a door cabinet

    Hello there, I'm looking for ideas on how could I fix this kitchen cabinet door. Is made of a heavy crystal and a metal frame and I'm afraid the crystal was too heavy for the structure, all corners ended up more or less broken. I would really like to try to fix it but I'm clueless on the matter, no idea what to do, maybe get an extra piece of metal and glue in inside... or replace the crystal for something lighter..? Any tip or idea would be very much appreciated. Thank you for your attention!

    There appears to be nothing holding the corners together, using some like these may be the answer Window Screen Corners - Buy Screen Frame Corners & Parts | Metro Screenworks

    It looks like the plastic corner insert has broken, if you release those 2 screws (one in each rail) then you will be able to remove the 2 halves that are broken, once removed you could replace them (copy them) with metal plate of the right thickness and cut at a right angle shape with tapped screw holes.

    As Camelot said, Seeing that you live in Madrid Spain, I assume that you will have hardware stores or metal merchants there who may already have a suitable bracket you can use to replace the plastic one, something like this that you can get here in Australia Just a moment...
