Easy Fix for Crooked Cabinet Doors!

What happens here

Locate the four screws on the hinge that attach it to the cabinet frame, not the door itself. These screws are typically positioned two on top and two on the bottom of the hinge mounting plate. Loosen these four screws slightly. Once loosened, the entire cabinet door can be shifted up or down. Adjust the door to the desired vertical position, then re-tighten the four screws to secure it.

Goal: Shift the cabinet door up or down.
