Hi Brains trust
Ive just been installing a new kaboodle laundry and have put on the cabinet doors only to find a huge gap when they shut.
Is there a knack to this? Or are the doors the wrong size?
Ps- they still need to be painted....
Hello @libbyt
If you look closely at the hinge body you will see 2 screws for adjustment. One has a threaded body with no head and the other at the end of the hinge has robust screw head keeping the hinge in place. You need to use a Philips head screw driver on the screw with no head. This adjusts the left and right position of the door. Both hinges on the door must be adjusted. Below is a photo of that hinge. On this picture it is the center screw that must be adjusted to make the doors meet in the middle. Good luck.
