Easy Fix for Crooked Cabinet Doors!

What happens here

Locate the screw on the hinge that is closer to the edge of the cabinet door, often a single screw on the hinge arm. This screw controls how far the door sits from the cabinet frame (in or out). Tightening this screw will draw the door closer to the cabinet, while loosening it will push the door further away. Adjust this screw on both the top and bottom hinges until the door sits flush with the cabinet frame.

Goal: Adjust the cabinet door's depth relative to the cabinet frame.

Tools and materials

  • Phillips Head Screwdriver — Adjusting the hinge screw for in/out depth
