To adjust cabinet hinges in and out, you'll need to locate and adjust the screws on the hinges. The reference video focuses primarily on vertical adjustments but provides a starting point for understanding hinge mechanisms.
Adjusting Cabinet Hinges
While the video doesn't directly detail in and out adjustments, the video introduces the basic concept of adjusting cabinet door alignment using hinge screws. Understanding how hinges adjust is crucial for all types of adjustments.
Types of Adjustments
The video illustrates a vertical door adjustment, which is often needed when cabinet doors drop. Here is how to approach a similar issue:
- Vertical Adjustment:
- Locate the screws on the top and bottom of the hinges.
- Loosen these screws.
- Slide the door up or down to the desired position.
- Re-tighten the screws securely.
Common issues:
- Doors that are not closing properly
- Misaligned cabinet doors
Considerations
- Hinge Types: Different hinges may have slightly different screw placements and adjustment mechanisms.
- Screw Sensitivity: Only loosen the screws slightly to make minor adjustments, and always re-tighten them fully.
- Alignment: Check the door alignment by closing the door several times. Make further adjustments as needed.
Adjusting hinges might vary slightly across hinge types. The most common way to adjust hinges is by using the screw closest to the cabinet frame for in/out adjustments.
