As long as they\u2019re a quality brand of hinge they have ample room for adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Firstly, we need to assess the cause of the issue. Is it a faulty catch or hinge or a component failure? Is the location of the hinge stripped or damaged? Is there and settlement or movement of the cabinet, floor or building?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Bi-fold doors are a little different. In this situation, the doors were no longer tracking and we were unable to close them at all. It all seemed a bit tricky. After inspecting for structural issues or failures and finding nothing wrong, we looked further into it. These doors were fitted with high quality hardware, a good tracking system and all is well made. What next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>We rehung the doors, adjusted the hinges, levels and clearances. It had to be millimetre perfect. The adjustments are critical to a smooth operation as they can bind very easily. Once that was done, it worked like a dream! We had one happy customer who can now finally use and close her cabinet again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Contact your local Southern Highlands handyman service for DIY and small job help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The good news is, most kitchen cabinet doors can be adjusted quite easily.
