Easy Fix for Crooked Cabinet Doors!
What happens here
Identify the screw on the hinge that is positioned furthest from the cabinet frame and closer to the actual hinge point. This screw controls the horizontal movement of the cabinet door, allowing you to adjust the gap between two adjacent doors or between a door and the cabinet side panel. By loosening this screw, the door can be moved horizontally. Make small adjustments to this screw on both hinges (top and bottom) to create an even, consistent gap along the entire height of the doors.
Goal: Adjust the horizontal gap between cabinet doors for an even appearance.
