Also, adjusting the hinges on kitchen cabinet doors is one of the finest and cheapest repairs you can ever make. Take a screw and follow the guide below so you may have a perfect finish and a nice kitchen.
IDENTIFY THE ERROR
The first step to adjusting kitchen cabinet doors is to identify the exact problem and the point of the error.
Examine the state of the cabinet door and take appropriate action.
Generally, all kitchen cabinet doors have the same issues as shown below.
1. IMPROPER LEVELLING
In this error, you will see your cabinet a little down or up from the correct position. This fault will not allow the cupboard door to fit properly into the cupboard interior.
- Loosen the screws attached to the hinges on the interior of the cabinet.
- Check the level and adjust the door as required.
- Lift the door slightly up and tighten the screws vertically within the hinges.
2. SIDE ADJUSTMENT
When you are unable to close the door properly or if kitchen cupboard doors do not come in contact with each other while shutting down then they might need a side adjustment.
- To do so, loosen the horizontal screws fixed to hinges.
- Correct the position of the door and secure the bolts.
3. IN-OUT ADJUSTMENT
The common mistake seen is when the cabinet doors are unable to connect and the doors remain open. This defect especially bothers households as opening a door can raise serious problems related to mice and insects that damage food.
- To fix the setting, loosen the centre screw inside the cabinet hinges.
- Push the doors into place and tighten the screws.
- Double-check the adjustment of the hinge and make the necessary changes.
