We have had several occasions where the door part comes off. I have been using adhesive to put them back in but some of those are not staying after a period of usage.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, can you offer your fixes? I though I may have to actually drill a small hole and put small screws into the cabinet door, but would prefer not to.
thanks in advance.

I thought I'd chime in since no one has responded. If I'm picturing in my mind how yours are mounted, the plastic anchor is what's inside the door and the screw holding the hinge to it goes inside the plastic? Seems like you're saying the plastic anchors are what's failing? Anyway, I think the ideal fix would be to directly screw the hinges to the door, if there's enough thickness of the doors to do so. I have the same hinges in my MH, house and every house I've owned in the last few years and they were all mounted directly to the doors and I've never had one to fail. You might also use some Liquid Nails on the screw threads just to add some support and help hold them once they're screwed in.
Worst case scenario if you HAVE to relocate the hinges is to go to Lowe's and buy one of the hole cutters they sell. They make this tool to specifically drill the holes for these hinges and it shouldn't be very difficult. I would only do this as a last resort if directly screwing into the doors is not feasible due to not enough thickness, holes wallowed out, etc. As a very last resort, you could change to normal hinges that aren't the recessed kind like you have.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help but thought I'd offer up some ideas to help you fix the issue, good luck!
