Adjust Hinges on Misaligned Doors
When it comes to kitchen cabinet repair, hinges are a common issue. Euro hinges are designed for easy adjustment. If the door isnt flush with the doors next to it, adjust the depth screw. This screw moves the door in or out. Some depth screws move the door as you turn them.
But with most, you have to loosen the screw, nudge the door in or out and then tighten the screw. If your hinges dont have depth screws, start with the side screws. These move the door from side to side. In some cases, you have to loosen the depth screw slightly to adjust the side screw.
If the door is flush and parallel with other doors but too high or low, use the mounting screws to raise or lower the mounting plates. Loosen the screws at both hinges, slide the door up or down and tighten the screws. Some mounting plates adjust by turning a single screw. Check the fit of the door after each adjustment. With double doors like these, perfect the fit of one door first, then align the other door.
