Wow! I could NOT believe it was this simple. I've been putting this off, thinking I might have to call in a 'handy man' because I had messed around with these adjustment screws before and only made matters worse.
After watching this video (twice), I was able to correct the gaps in my doors in less than a minute! This simple little video saved me a pocket of cash.
Best of all, this makes me look like a genius in my wife's eyes!
This 50 sec video is the best place to learn hinge adjustment. I spent an hour going through different videos but eventually this is the best place to learn. Crisp and very informative.
Thank you very much for your positive comments on the "Adjusting cup hinges and doors" video!
We are glad you like it, and its great to hear that it helps...

Saved my life and my marriage!
Best door hinge adjustment video on UA-cam! Straight to the point, love it! 👍
Excellent little video. Short, informative and the explanation and graphics are really great!
Well worth 51 seconds of anybody's time if you've been struggling to adjust cupboard doors that are fitted with this type of hinge.
Thank you for being straightforward and keeping it simple. I loved it!
Thank you! This is by far the best video on adjusting hinges. Easy, clear instructions. The only video that helped me - after watching 10 useless, confusing badly lit ones.
This is by far the best video I've seen that clearly depicts which screw adjustment do what. As another review said, "real life" videos/demonstrations are simply not as clear, as the time taken to properly set up macro angle camera shots are just not there...
Brilliant. Simple, clear, no waffle. Thank you👍
Thank you for this most competent how to video I've ever seen- sans minutes of filler. Bravo!!!
Clearly and perfectly demonstrated with animated video and concise narrative in 50 secs. Well Done. Kudos!! Saved me so much time. Thank you!!
Sincere thanks for a wonderful "lesson" . It saved me hours of hit and miss. Thanks again.
this is what i"ve been looking for, short and to the point, you have my gratitude
Thank you for a short and easy explanation of the adjustable cupboard hinge to an absolute novice!
it is so simple this. i can't believe the time i wasted on trying to get the perfect fit (longer than actually building the shelf, i reckon). turned to youtube in frustration. watched this video, which based on the comments seems that i was lucky to find first, and it took less than a minute to get that perfect alignment. so simple when you know how to do it. thank you. i really appreciated the clear instructions!
Simple, informative video showing how to adjust a cabinet door in 50 seconds. I watched it twice & then adjusted two doors in my kitchen getting them into perfect alignment in minutes.
Jesus christ this short video answered a full on dilemma I'd been having for months now - how to run a wire cleanly out of a cabinet without drilling holes. All i had to do was adjust the clearance, thanks for this!
Simple, to the point, wonderful explanation. Excellent job creating this video.
OMGrits! Thank you so much for this helpful video! I had just about pulled my hair out trying to do a Lowe's tall cubby today and had to find help!
No time wasting... total knowledge... thank you
All instruction videos should be this short! Thank you
This is an excellent animated video and very well explained. Thanks a lot!
Clear and to the point. Great visuals. Thank you.
Extremely helpful. Some of the doors of my cabinet swelled and are not closing properly. Technician is charging Rs. 50/ = per cabinet. With the help of this video I will be able to adjust them myself. Thanks for wonderful video.
Dissemination of information at its best - clear, concise and demonstrated. Many thanks. You deserve a knighthood, when compared to what others who have received one have achieved.

Easy. Will try it.
Storage cupboard. Left door is perfect, right door needs a little push upwards to bring it level with the Left. I loosened both hinges (as in the video) but the door doesn't move. Good comments, so it's not the videos fault. Back to UA-cam...
Very cool video, but can someone tell me how to adjust it's speed?
Like can the door closing speed be controlled/set (the speed at which the door closes)
Can it done or not and if yes then how?
I have dozens of these hinges installed at my home but my stupid workers have no idea about it
Awaiting a reply!

thnx a lot )))brief and very informative
What happens if there is no mounting plate screws? Looks like I've got the old fashioned type with just 2 screws. I want to lift the door up a few millimetres on one corner where the 2 doors meet.
Hello! The old mounting plates were not height adjustable. They were mostly made of plastic screwed on tightly or pressed in. So you would have to change to a current hinge including mounting plate with height adjustment. Feel free to contact our customer service if you need more information! (info@hettich.com)
Kind regards, your Hettich Social Media Team
@@HettichEnglish OK thanks for the help. I have since put something at the bottom of 1 door that lifts the door up so it now matches. Good thinking eh😉
Who ever made this. SALUTE TO YOU
Thank you! We're so glad it helped you. 🤗

Hi, I have had to trim my Ikea wardrobes 50mm at the bottom to get them to fit floor to ceiling in my house. The problem I have is some of the doors scrap on the carpet. I have adjusted the hinges as high as they go. Are there any other extra adjustable hinges I can buy? Or does anyone have any ideas? Thankyou
How to remove the plate which covers the screws on the door side hinge?
Hello! The cap that covers the screws on the hinge arm is simply clipped onto the arm. It can then be removed with a fine slotted screwdriver. To do this, lift it slightly from the side.
We hope this helps you :-)

How to make the door stop open at 45degree angle. Or make it stop from swinging open and putting pressure on hinge screws?
In this case we kindly ask you to contact our customer service info@@t. Thank You!
Currently, i have 1 Cabinet door installed.. but when I go to line up the second door, my other Cabinet door wont fit in the gap. It is overlaying the other door by about 1/4". Can I make enough of an adjustment on the hinge to make the second door fit? thanks in advance.
Dear Andrew Susskind,
Thank you for your request.
With our Intermat hinge (shown in the video) and our Sensys hinge an overlay adjustment of +/- 2 mm is possible.
With kinds regards,
Your Hettich UA-cam Team
Nice
Super
my problem is that one of my doors inclines up and the other declines down. so this doesnt help. anyone know how to fix this?
Dear ByronMason1,
there are some things you could look for:
It sounds as if the cabinet might not be perfectly upright. > You could check if the side panels are absolutely vertical. Might be that simple ;-)
If not: Are all the mounting plates perfectly fixed to the sides? > Check if they all touch the surface of the side panels.
Do all the mounting plates have the same distance (thickness)? > There is a figure empossed in the mounting plate; "0", "1.5", "3",... You can see it when taking the hinge off.
In case you have used the hinge adjustment already, please do not forget to reset it.
Best regards,
Your Hettich UA-cam Team
Have a hinge like that it why does it keep creaking when I open it?
Ok, how do you adjust a door that stays slightly ajar???
Great video. Now where do you buy them at? Preferably a brick and mortar store.
I live in Seattle, Washington.

Is there any adjustment if the door does not shut all the way flush?...it shuts but sticking out a bit?
The gap between the door and cabinet when closed is too small. Adjust by doing the middle part of this video.
But how do you adjust the soft-close action?

@@HettichEnglish thank you for your response, i am really sorry if i might have sounded rude, it was just that i got really frustrated at the moment.
@@PANCHANANGANTAIT We understand that, no problem at all. 🙂
You could try replacing the screws with a larger size and make sure you don’t do them up too tight
I hate this design,my cabinet doors always open by themselves
Thank you!
Thank you!
