    Use a screwdriver to tighten the screw of the knob (or hinges) from the
    back of the door--"Lefty-Loosey, Righty-tighty". I hope that this is
    what you were looking for.

    The uneven water damage may be because the water was uneven. My guess
    would be that it poured over the edge. Rather than pouring in an even
    sheet, it separated into smaller "streams" then wetted the surrounding
    area. Just a guess but the stain was probably applied by machine
    spray so I doubt it was applied unevenly. It's possible that the
    veneer was more porous in some areas but it wouldn't be uniform.

    I don't think there is a way to match the smaller repairs now that
    you've stained them again. Apparently the stain has wicked into the
    end fibers of the veneer. End grain would take more stain so would get
    darker. Perhaps you can *lightly* sand the darkened edges to expose
    the end grain again. Then put some sanding sealer on the edges, only,
    using a Q-Tip or similar, and retry your stain. You have little to
    lose, at this point.

    The best alternative would be to paint the cabinets. I assume that
    you have no way to spray the doors. You might find someone to do it.
    If so, remove the doors and drawer fronts (mark them so they go back
    exactly the same place) and send them out to be painted. The same
    paint can be brushed on the frames. You should probably use an oil
    paint, some sort of enamel probably. If you can, use the same paint as
    they doors, drawers. Maybe thin it a little so it flows better to
    minimize brush strokes. If you can't get the exact paint, go to a
    PAINT STORE (not a big box store), like Sherwin Williams or Benjamin
    Moore, and have them match the color. Ask them what sort of pain
    would be best for this application. They may suggest some flow
    control additive.

    Sorry I didn't know the homeowners hub only sent a link.
