cabinet hinges, crooked,uneven some will not close cabinet doors
For anyone who may be struggling with this issue, there I a simple solution. My cabinets are partial inset, using plain 3/8's inset hinges that were close to my originals in order to cover black markings left on my stiles. I added toothpicks and glue to original holes.so that my screws fit well. But after installed had to close double doors together or they would overlap just a little. I was over my head I couldn't figure out how to fix. I started getting estimates to repair. 100.00 to mill down one side of cabinets. 300.00 to rehang and move hinges over slightly. My last estimate was from Mr. Fix it. He tried to tell me how on the phone. Close the doors together on a paint stick. I had already done this, to hold my gap while installing. He came out with a 5 gallon paint stick. 1/4 inch thick. He closed the doors together,gently, on the stick twice and my problem was gone. He called it setting the hinges. I couldn't believe that's all it took. Wanted to share with anyone having similar issue. So that they wouldn't have sleepless nights and wasted tears, and messed up cabinets.
