I can pretty much build/fix anything and for the life of me I could not get new hinges to work on these doors. So in your case replacing the doors and getting new hinges may work but Jesus Christ I tried like 4-5 different hinge styles, milled my hinge holes on the doors bigger etc and still they barely worked
I basically left the new buyer with superrrrr sketchy hinges but they worked well enough to sell the place lol

I lurk RS enough that Im 95% sure Ive seen you post on the real estate thread that you used to live here on this building.
Yeah, the wife and I are getting a little tired of looking at these cabinets. We were going to do a full kitchen make over.. but due to certain events, I suggested to just re-face them. Being such a cheap ass, I just want someone to make me doors and i can do everything else.. hopefully i dont run into the same problem as you did. Im also a glazier by trade so that should help me a little.
ALSO: little update.. lowes' contractor quoted me $4k for everything. white mdf pvc shaker style door. he had the measurements at 60 sq.ft.
Im not really sure if thats expensive or not.. its the only quote i had so far.
