How do you adjust a cabinet?

Published in Cabinet Adjustment 2 mins read

To adjust a cabinet door, you'll typically manipulate the hinge mounting screws. Here's a step-by-step guide based on the provided reference:

Adjusting Cabinet Doors

Locate the Hinges

  • Open your cabinet door.
  • Find the hinges located on the inside of the cabinet where the door attaches to the cabinet box.

Identify Mounting Screws

  • Each hinge usually has two vertical screws that secure it to the cabinet box. These are the screws you will need to adjust.

Loosen the Screws

  • Using a screwdriver, gently loosen the two mounting screws on both hinges of the cabinet door. Do not remove them completely.

Adjust the Door

  • Carefully move the cabinet door to the desired height. You can adjust up, down, left, or right slightly depending on the type of hinge.

Tighten the Screws

  • Once the door is in the desired position, tighten the mounting screws on both hinges to hold the door firmly in place.

Important Notes:

  • Make small adjustments at a time.
  • Ensure the screws are tight enough to hold the door in place but do not overtighten.
  • If your cabinet doors still do not align, there might be different adjustments on the hinges that control depth or the angle of the door. Look for additional screws on the hinge to attempt further adjustments.
