OMG thank you so much for this! I just purchased my very first house, and I'm slowly doing little fixes every weekend. I had no idea about the adjustment screws to fix the sagging cabinet doors, but I just fixed every cabinet in my kitchen! Thanks so much!
I never really paid much attention to the adjustments but I usually adjusting by hit or miss. Your way is best and takes the frustrations out. Great video. Thank you for sharing
How would you adjust old school hinges (like the ones at 00:26) where the doors are misaligned? Are there any adjustable hinges that are drop in replacements for these that don’t require cabinet mods (boring holes, etc.)?
I recently replaced all the hinges in my kitchen with soft close ones (watched your video on how to do this). They are so nice. Thanks for making such great videos.
Wow thank you for this! I had just taken my cabinet doors off to repaint. When I put them back up, they were misaligned; and it was driving me insane. Fixed within a matter of seconds by using the adjustments.
Well... that's easy...thank you so much...now I need to purchase cabinets. 😁 I have everything on open shelves covered with shower curtains, which works temporarily for me.
For full-overlay doors on a cabinet with a face frame (like the ones in your video), should the reveal be the same on all four edges, especially the same on the top and bottom? Or, as I have seen in some examples, should the door be centered left and right, but have 0" (zero inches) reveal on the bottom edge? I am adjusting the doors on a cabinet over a microwave and I have some cabinets that are stacked, two and three high. Thx,
used that first painted hinge on a project they are horrible. you get everything lined up, screw it down only to watch the hinge move and slid all over the place messing up everything. been wanting to use those concealef hinges but haven't been able to get the bits, etc., to use them so i get the cheaper, hinges which well suck.
Hi Scott, what how do I get my cabinet door to close all the way? It’s a more economical concealed hinge, from 2010. Even when I manually close the door all the way, it pops open and stays open about 1/2 inch. Any advice you can give is much appreciated. Thank you.
So the majority of cabinet hinges open 95 - 110 degrees. I think there are specialty hinges like these amzn.to/3W7JIq9 that will only open 90 degrees and might meet your need.
My doors are made of real wood (birch) and have warped over time. No amount of fiddling with the hinges will get them to align properly. Any chance you could do a video on straightening warped doors?
Can you add a link to the video you mentioned at the end (swapping out hinges)? It does not show up as a link imbedded within the video for me. Thanks!
I have two cabinets in family room, 12 years old. The installers put one door on the left that should be on the right and one on the right that should be on the left. How do I know?? The handles are misaligned exactly opposite on each side. I guess I could try removing the two doors to switch them. Will I mess it up?
Hey Elena, could you jump over to our website forum add your question with a couple pictures? All you have to do is click Add Topic and establish a login. When it is posted I will jump in and take a look at the pictures to make sure I can help out. Thanks!
Thanks. It'd be nice if your end cards were a little longer. As it is, the video goes to commercial the instant you sign off, so there's no time to click on the video you've recommended.

Your videos are so helpful, and informative. Thank you for the continuous efforts made into these videos!
Thanks, I really appreciate the kind words and we will keep the videos coming 👍

I just bought a cabinet I thought was defective, turns out needed an adjustment sooooo amazing!!!!
I feel that this is one of your best videos.
Nice, thanks for the feedback. 👍
Had a cabinet door that was moving over time which made no sense. I had no idea that the hinges were designed to adjust. Simple fix! TY sir!!!
I was unaware of the extent of adjustments possible. Now I know! Thanks!
Well... that's easy...thank you so much...now I need to purchase cabinets. 😁
I have everything on open shelves covered with shower curtains, which works temporarily for me.
Wow. Thanks so much. Crazy how easy that was. Now my cabinets are aligned!
How would you adjust old school hinges (like the ones at 00:26) where the doors are misaligned?
I have some cabinets with the old hinges shown at 0:26 and I was hoping there was a truck to adjusting these.
Thank you so much, my cabinet doors are out of alignment and now I can fix them. Before I only made them worse so thanks again
thank you for sharing this, it helped me to align the door of my cabinet.
Getting ready to repair screen on storm window using advice from last video.
I guess I'll be aligning cabinets doors tomorrow. Lol. 👍
😂 we will keep you busy 👍
Thank you very much! This video helped me fix my crooked cabinet door
Awesome, thanks for the feedback!
Thanks, I tried my best to adjust using information in this video, I have one door that run against each other when I close 😢
I got the old school hinges
Ugh! Me too!
does he say that those aren't adjustable?? 😤😭😭

Thx,
Another great tutorial. Thanks!
You bet 👍
Unfortunately I have traditional old American -style hinges. Probably installed in the 1950s.
Why would you need to adjust the depth? If too close do they not work? Is there a common spacing?
Which of the many bits in the 14-in-1 Klein is the Posi Drive bit?
Thank you. Excellent, clear explanations.
very helpful and excellent tips 👏👏👏 but unfortunately my hinges are very old school type hasps.
Yeah, I have the same in some of my rentals. Little tougher to adjust 😂
@@EverydayHomeRepairs because my house was built in 1979, and needs some upgrades.
used that first painted hinge on a project they are horrible. you get everything lined up, screw it down only to watch the hinge move and slid all over the place messing up everything. been wanting to use those concealef hinges but haven't been able to get the bits, etc., to use them so i get the cheaper, hinges which well suck.
What brand of hinges did you use? Is that what you call a full inlay?
Hi Scott, what how do I get my cabinet door to close all the way? It’s a more economical concealed hinge, from 2010. Even when I manually close the door all the way, it pops open and stays open about 1/2 inch. Any advice you can give is much appreciated. Thank you.
Scott, are there similar hinges that prevent the door from opening too far to avoid touching a corner cabinet or microwave?
So the majority of cabinet hinges open 95 - 110 degrees. I think there are specialty hinges like these amzn.to/3W7JIq9 that will only open 90 degrees and might meet your need.
That’s very creative
What type of lighting system you use? Great quality!
Here is the list of my arsenal. a.co/4DCn7hi Those LED panels from Neewer have taken a beating and made it through about 150 videos now 👍
Thanks for your helpful info!🎃
You bet!
My doors are made of real wood (birch) and have warped over time. No amount of fiddling with the hinges will get them to align properly. Any chance you could do a video on straightening warped doors?
So how would you fix the edges of the doors where the paint or enamel is worn off or wearing off!
thank you!!!
What about for a front door? Our door is all out of alignment and I can see daylight at the top right of the door. Weather stripping is in good shape.
Tighten hinges
Can you add a link to the video you mentioned at the end (swapping out hinges)? It does not show up as a link imbedded within the video for me. Thanks!
Looks like it was this video: ua-cam.com/video/NiDSpZX3QQA/v-deo.html
Thanks Matt!

You did not cover the older external spring design
Can you do a video on how to fix front doors that are difficult to open/close?
Is it sticking at the top when you try to close?
@@EverydayHomeRepairs Yes, it is binding at the top. It's my mother in laws house and she has a hard time opening and closing it.
I just noticed that the cabinet over the microwave is not even against the ceiling/ soffit on the top back 🤔🧐🤔
I HATE adjustable hinges.
Thanks. It'd be nice if your end cards were a little longer. As it is, the video goes to commercial the instant you sign off, so there's no time to click on the video you've recommended.
The installers always mess up aligning the handles 😤
hmm my cabinets are handmade by the previous owner don't think this will work for me
Depends if the previous owner used the type hinges in this video. I installed European style hinges this spring on a cabinet project and I'm no pro.
I need help
🤓✌🖖👍👌😎
Can you please fix my cabinet?Hey Bixby can you fix my cabinet?It is broken please
That's not how the European hinges work
Excellent explanation. Thank you.
