Introduction:
Ever noticed your cabinet doors looking a little crooked or not closing right? Don’t worry — you don’t need to call a pro just yet! Adjusting cabinet doors is easier than you think. Grab a screwdriver, and let’s fix it together!
🛠️ What You’ll Need:
- Phillips screwdriver
- Small level (optional but super helpful)
Step 1: Spot the Problem
Take a close look.
Is the door too high? Too low? Not lining up with the others? Wobbly?
Finding the problem helps you know exactly what to fix.
Step 2: Get to Know the Hinges
Most cabinet hinges have 2 or 3 little screws you can tweak:
- Left or Right: Adjusts side-to-side.
- Up or Down: Moves the door higher or lower.
- In or Out: Changes how far the door sits from the cabinet.
Step 3: Make Tiny Adjustments
- Turn the side-to-side screw to move the door left or right.
- Loosen the mounting screws a bit to lift or lower the door.
- Adjust the depth screw if you need the door closer or farther out.
✨ Pro Tip: Always turn the screws a little at a time — then check! Tiny changes make a big difference.
Step 4: Check Your Work
Close the door and see how it looks.
Use a small level if you have one to make sure everything’s straight and even.
If needed, adjust a bit more till it’s just right!
Final Touch:
And you’re done! 🎉
Now your cabinets will open, close, and look just like they should.
