Installing new hinges on old cabinets, problem solving.
New hinges often are not an exact fit. Here is one solution to the problem without having to drill new holes. A towel is all you will need.

    I just spent 3 days hand planing the edges on two sets of doors to make them close. Had one more set to go when I stumbled across your video. Thank you. Was about to waste another day of my life...

    Why not switching for internal hinges? They look better.

    Thank you so much. I spent an hour wondering how I was going to fix the slight overlap and was dreading having to redrill the holes. I am fitting the same old hinge with the new hinge you have in your demonstration, and it didn't matter for single cabinet doors but any that butted up to another door this happened to. It does seem like the hinge is fatter on the new hinge. Thanks again from New Zealand

    I bought 3 different brands of 3/8 inch inset hinges; even some from Lowes and they would not work with the cabinets here in my house that was built in 1970. The bend in the elbow of the old hinges fit the doors perfectly but these new ones leave a bit of a gap between the rabbet of the door and the hinge which pushes both the doors closer toward each other when closed. The towel trick works okay but I'm probably going to have to sand the edges of the doors....

    This worked for my 1960 overlay hinged kitchen cabinets. Thank you. Used a much smaller towel. A bar rag folded twice, then 3 times. Yay!!!

    Unfortunately, after several attempts, this did not work for me. All I ended up with are brand new hinges that now make a creaking noise.

    I was so disappointed when I finished installing a brand new cabinet in the bathroom and the doors were rubbing against each other just as yours were. Thank you so much for sharing your tip. It worked like a charm.

    I immediately said this was too good to be true, then I tried it! Holy moly! Our bathroom vanity doors haven't closed properly since we bought our home 11 years ago. Now they're perfect! Thank you so much for sharing! This is one eternally grateful homeowner.

    I wish they made better looking new hardware. Preferably a bit more simple looking. These new ones still have a “dated” look. ☹️ The cabinets look great

    Magic, thanks so much. I have been learning facts (facts I don't want to know, mind you!) about hinge types, etc (yawn) so I could try to find adjustable ones to replace the ones I didn't know how to get to hang straight. Now , one less hardware store trip, yea!

    Just put new hinges on and was so frustrated they wasn't closing up to the box. They had gaps. Put a dish rag between each of the two hinges and (one at a time) and now they close!! Thank you so much for the information.
