A Guide: How to Adjust Our Cupboard Hinge

The last step to completing the assembly of your cupboard is fitting and adjusting the cupboard hinges. This step does not take long, but if you’re worried about getting it right, make sure that you read the instructions carefully beforehand. It also helps to be organised and prepared, by placing all the pieces you’ll need together, within easy reach. For the best results, follow our tips for installing flatpack furniture.

Begin by fitting the hinge base plates to the cupboard sides with 6 x 16mm screws. Using the screws only, fit the hinge cups to the cupboard doors. With the door held carefully in an upright position on the base plate, lock back the screw and then turn the setscrew. Turning the setscrew adjusts the door in or out so that an equal gap shows around the edges of the door when it is closed. Once you know how to adjust our cupboard hinge and get it right, you’re one step closer to completing your DIY Project successfully.

If the cupboard door is closed and pinches on the hinge side, loosen the back screw and readjust the hinge out, before locking the screw in place again.
