Adjusting hinges on my kitchen cabinet doors

Sarah MacRae on May 27, 2015You should be able to adjust the hinges, provided they aren't broken in any way. I they're broken, then best just to replace them in the correct position.Helpful Reply

Jackson Home & Garden on May 27, 2015yes, you may have to relocate the screw holes because there is not a lot of room for adjustment on that type of hinge.Helpful Reply

Diane Blank on May 27, 2015the hinges pictured often loosen up and keep the doors from closing properly. Take a close look and you will find three different areas to adjust. I guarantee that this is all you will need. If you can not figure it out easily, take one of the hinges to your local hardware/home store and talk to them. They will show you what to do. Good luck!Helpful Reply

Dee Toomey on May 27, 2015Thank you for asking this question, as my door hinges are needing adjusting too. I like your idea, Diane Blank. I wouldn't have thought of taking a hinge to the experts, but you hit the nail on the head!Helpful Reply

Centrd on May 27, 2015The European hinges are the worst when it comes to adjusting! Totally counter-intuitive. It's like the screws work backwards! Not even kidding. Whenever I've done it, it's been trial and error, figuring out what happens when you turn one way or the other. Takes a while, but eventually I get it. Getting two doors to line up though can really take time. Obviously, people who are familiar with them can do it so much more quickly, so I agree, if you can talk to someone about it that should help. Or if you have a handyman it really shouldn't take him any time at all. Might be worth a small fee to have someone who knows what he's doing line them up quickly.Helpful Reply

Louis Lieberman on May 27, 2015there should be at least 1 or more adjusting screws- inserting the screw will extend the hinge outwards while loosening will ontact it-luckHelpful Reply
