KMS Woodworks on Mar 11, 2012Brenda....the best way would be to get a "screw extractor" that is of the tubular type. This basically drills out the broken screw along with a plug of wood around it. Once this is out , you can then insert (with glue) a dowel rod of the same diameter as the hole...once that is dried you can pre-drill a pilot hole and install new screws.....I have done this a number of times.Helpful Reply
