Adjusting Kitchen Corner Unit Door Hinges

Kitchen corner units can be a great way to maximize space and storage in your kitchen. However, the doors on these units can sometimes be difficult to adjust, which can lead to them not closing properly or becoming misaligned. If you're having trouble adjusting the doors on your kitchen corner unit, here are a few tips that can help.

Tools You'll Need

Phillips head screwdriver
Flathead screwdriver (optional)
Allen wrench (optional)

Instructions

Locate the hinges. The hinges on a kitchen corner unit are typically located on the inside of the door. There will be two hinges on each door, one at the top and one at the bottom.
Loosen the screws. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to loosen the screws that are holding the hinges in place. Be careful not to remove the screws completely, as you will need to be able to tighten them again later.
Adjust the hinges. Once the screws are loose, you can adjust the hinges to change the way the door opens and closes. There are two ways to adjust the hinges:
- To adjust the height of the door, move the hinge up or down on the mounting plate.
- To adjust the side-to-side alignment of the door, move the hinge left or right on the mounting plate.
Tighten the screws. Once you have adjusted the hinges to your liking, tighten the screws to hold them in place.
Test the door. Open and close the door to make sure that it is aligned properly and that it closes smoothly. If the door is still not closing properly, you may need to repeat steps 2-4 until the door is adjusted correctly.

Tips

If you are having difficulty adjusting the hinges, you may want to consult with a professional. A professional will be able to adjust the hinges quickly and easily.
Be careful not to overtighten the screws, as this could damage the hinges.
If you are adjusting the hinges on a new kitchen corner unit, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.
