How can I fix a broken face on a kitchen drawer?

Question

I have a silverware drawer that the face broke off when it was slammed shut. I'm trying to figure out the best way to re-attach it. I've tried using gorilla glue but that didn't work to well because the surfaces aren't flat (some of the fiberwood is broken). Anyone have any suggestions?

I would try some corner braces and short wood screws. You probably want to pre-drill some holes so you don't split the wood.

Used the corner brace and the drawer is good as new. Thanks! – BennyT Oct 24 '10 at 06:18
