How To Level Up Kitchen Cupboard Doors

Leveling kitchen cupboard doors is an essential aspect of ensuring they open and close smoothly and evenly. Uneven doors can not only be unsightly, but they can also cause damage to the hinges and surrounding cabinetry over time. By following a few simple steps, you can easily level up your kitchen cupboard doors and keep them functioning properly for years to come.

The first step is to gather the necessary tools. You will need a level, a pencil, a screwdriver, and a drill (if necessary). Once you have your tools, you can begin the process of leveling your doors.

The next step is to adjust the hinges on the door. There are typically two or three hinges per door, and each hinge has two screws that can be adjusted. To adjust the hinges, simply loosen the screws slightly and then use the level to ensure that the door is level. Once the door is level, tighten the screws to secure it in place.

If the hinges are not enough to level the door, you may need to shim it. To do this, simply insert a thin piece of cardboard or wood between the hinge and the cabinet frame. This will raise the door slightly and help to level it out.

Once the door is level, you can reattach the handle or knob. To do this, simply insert the screws into the holes in the handle or knob and tighten them until they are secure.
