In Europe, they just call them hinges.
This was incredibly timely. I just installed some cabinets from HD and they all needed tweaking. Thanks for explaining it simply.
As a contractor, I have to work on these now and then. Half the time that I have to adjust one, someone in the past didn't know what he was doing and stripped the screws or else. Hopefully, your video will help to educate more people on the way they work. Good job !
Those hinges can be maddening! Good refresher. I gotta tweak a few on my kitchen cabs.
Go for it!
I'm keeping this video. I don't have those hinges in my home but seen them in other homes.
Thank you for this video.
Glad it was helpful!
This was super helpful, I was so confused with these and was all flustered, but after this video I am in love with these hinges
Best tip ever! Just fixed the droopy kitchen cabinet doors I have been looking at for months… Thank you!
This was very helpful… always something to learn. Your videos contain a lot of variety which I find useful as a cabinet hinge😂
Thank you so much, I needed this! Perfect explanation.
Put up enough cabinets to where I should have known this. I always "assumed" that both of those screws had to be evenly tightened. I know they would help adjust the door but never knew what each screw's purpose was for.
Thanks for this video!!!
Thank you, right on time for me, I have a cabinet door in the kitchen that won't close all the way.
thank you for a very useful and informative video!
Oh yes, very good. Thank you
You are the best my friend
3:06 Now this is where the magic happens!
Very helpful!
Excellent video
thanks, i needed that.
Thanks for doing this.
Fantastic thank you so much! I had never seen hinges like that, I had no idea how to adjust them
Thank you. 👍🏻
very well explained , thank you😊
Glad I found this. Realized I just needed to adjust vs replace. Thanks.
Thanks
thanks
Great job 👏
Thanks. My son tried to adjust and they are worse than ever. Watching this video, I believe I can adjust them myself.
That was very helpful for me. Thank you
Thank you so much !!! This is so helpful.
Please come fix mine! I just can’t get it right. 😕
I feel your pain, I’ve made mine worse 🙁
Now I can fix my glass doors on my medicine cabinet. They have been out of wack for a year.
Good luck, thanks for being a 10 year subscriber!
Good information Shannon.
I have similar hinges to the lower example of your mock up. I gave up trying to find a replacement. If possible, could you name a source for that type hinge?
try Blum and Richelieu are a couple of common brands in my area, but there are many different brands.
Even though my hardware is somewhat different does give me insight into what's happening... problem is inside part of hinge is attached to a narrow wood frame inside the cabinet since it's a corner cabinet .. above a corner lazy Susan below my tile countertops. Hope that makes since ... maybe bottom screw hole/left screw on inside of hinge is stripped?? Again thx. CZcams waynesville NC 🇺🇸 veteran

Thanks for that but can you help me with my toilet that will run periodically during the day. The toilet is new as of 11/2020 when my water bill was 1600 from the toilet running. It is happening again and I don't know what to do about it.
Sounds like your flapper needs replacing?
Can you show how to fix a crooked door please? So many videos on here explaining what each screw does but none that say if your cabinet door is crooked it’s because of this screw. Now because I’ve done that much adjustment it’s worse and now rubbing off the one behind it 🙈🤦🏻♀️
How do you adjust door when it don’t close its like it’s sprung? Does that mean hinge is shot? Like out couple of inches?
a couple inches with this style of hinge? Must be something wrong with hinge.
Thank you appreciated
My hinges are causing my doors not to be centered to the face frame.
What was wrong with the old fashioned hinges? I took all of my cabinets down to paint them. Most went up with no issues. But there’s a couple that absolutely will not align no matter what :(
You just said it. They are not as easily adjusted.
I never understood why hinges (cabinets AND interior/exterior doors) in North America aren't adjustable. Things always sag after so many years or shrink/expand due to weather. The regular American mortised hinges are 100 year old tech. Sooo much easier to tighten a screw 1/4 turn vs shimming a hinge or worse adjusting the entire mortise
These cabinet hinges have been used in North America for years and years now as well.
@@HouseImprovements that I didn't deny, just wondering why it's not standard
@feinschmegga they are standard here in Canada
You are so handsome and so perfect as a how to host
Sounds like you had 100mph winds that day.
Yes the garage door was whistling that day.
Those hinges can be a pita.
