#Adjusting Kitchen Cupboard Doors and Hinges Cupboard door indicating different sides One of the most popular questions asked of DIY Doctor is how do I adjust the concealed hinge on my kitchen cupboards. In this project you will learn all about adjusting kitchen cupboard doors and hinges and how to adjust door hinges and concealed hinges. The door above represents an ordinary kitchen cupboard. There are many ways it can be adjusted with a simple crosshead screwdriver.
All of these adjustments can take place while the door is in position. The images below is a close up of a concealed hinge, each adjustment screw is numbered. Follow the instructions below to adjust the door to the number of the adjustment above.

Any one or more of these adjustments can be made at the same time, for example if the top corner (B) of the door needs to go up a great deal, you can make the adjustments shown in adjustment 5 while at the same time unscrewing number 3 in the bottom hinge and pulling out slightly Remember that moving a door left or right by just using screw 1 will tilt the door also, This can be compensated by unscrewing the equivalent screw on the other hinge or making necessary adjustments with screw 3.
