Adjusting Soft Close Kitchen Cabinet Hinges

Soft close hinges are a great way to add a touch of luxury to your kitchen. They allow your cabinet doors to close smoothly and quietly, without the need to slam them shut. However, over time, these hinges can become loose and need to be adjusted.

Adjusting soft close hinges is a relatively simple task that can be completed in a few minutes. Here are the steps you need to follow:

Locate the adjustment screws.
The adjustment screws on most soft close hinges are located on the side of the hinge, near the top. There will be two screws - one for adjusting the vertical alignment of the door, and one for adjusting the horizontal alignment.
Use a Phillips head screwdriver to loosen the adjustment screws.
Do not remove the screws completely. Just loosen them enough so that you can adjust the door.
Adjust the door alignment.
Use your hands to move the door up, down, left, or right until it is aligned properly. Be sure to check both the vertical and horizontal alignment.
Tighten the adjustment screws.
Once the door is aligned, tighten the adjustment screws to hold it in place.
Test the door.
Close and open the door a few times to make sure it is closing smoothly and quietly.

If you are still having trouble adjusting your soft close hinges, you can consult your hinge manufacturer's instructions for more specific information.
