Adjusting face frame hinges involves using a screwdriver to manipulate screws on the hinge. These screws typically control the door's height, depth, and side-to-side position.
To adjust the door's position, you'll need to locate the screw on the hinge arm that connects the cup portion (attached to the door) to the plate portion (attached to the face frame). By turning the screw, you can move the door closer to or farther away from the face frame.
Here are some common adjustments:
- Height: Adjust the screw on the hinge arm to move the door up or down.
- Depth: Loosen the screws on the hinge plate to allow the door to move in or out.
- Side-to-side: Adjust the screw on the hinge arm to shift the door left or right.
Important Note: Always loosen the screws slightly before making any adjustments to prevent damage to the hinge or door.
