Adjusting Kitchen Cabinets Hinges

 

 

 

There are three screws on newer style cabinet door hinges. 1 and 3, pictured here, can be adjusted independent of other hinges. 2 is actually holding the hinge (and door, really) to the cabinet stile. To adjust a cabinet vertically, you must loosen this screw on each hinge, then slide the door up or down. You will have to prop it somehow while you tighten the screws back up.

 

 

You can see in this photo that the door bottom is kicked out (look at the red arrow in the left picture). To adjust this way, you need to play with screw #3. To fix this particular door, I brought the bottom of the door in, but I also adjusted the TOP of the door OUT.

How often we run across this type of scenario… Maybe not so pronounced, but after years of being slammed shut, children hanging from them, and so forth, doors get misaligned. This is adjusted with screw #1. Bring one in and the other out until you've got the doors aligned, like the picture below.
