    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 !

    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!!!

    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.

  • @lisastephens9703
    @lisastephens9703 Před rokem

    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.

  • @sorchadaly1620
    @sorchadaly1620 Před 10 měsíci

    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 🙈🤦🏻‍♀️

  • @georgeleduc8147
    @georgeleduc8147 Před 8 měsíci

    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?

  • @johnnyreeseiii8189

    My hinges are causing my doors not to be centered to the face frame.

  • @charlie3134
    @charlie3134 Před 5 dny

    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 :(

  • @feinschmegga
    @feinschmegga Před rokem +2

    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

    • @HouseImprovements

      These cabinet hinges have been used in North America for years and years now as well.
