Adjusting the hinges on the cabinet doors by yourself

When creating a comfortable housing an important role goes to furniture.

Assembling and installing a sofa, wardrobe and other furniture accessories is not the final stage in the improvement. Adjusting the cabinet doors will balance the furniture facades.

To adjust the hinges of the furniture yourself without the help of professionals is easy.

If the cabinet is littered, then, consequently, the gaps will be larger than with the exact location.

Doors should be adjusted in case of purchase of a new item, or transportation of an old one to another room. The screws loosen for a long time from constant use or initially poor quality settings.

Adjusting the cabinet doors will balance the furniture facades.

You should also check the moment when the addition of the facade under the cup is correct.

We do the adjustment of the furniture hinges with their own hands

To adjust the hinges of the furniture yourself without the help of professionals is easy. It is necessary to adhere to certain rules, the observance of which will prevent the formation of cracks on the facade, the gap between the box and the doors, as well as friction when opening. That is, the lifetime of the cabinet is extended.

The screws loosen for a long time from constant use or initially poor quality settings.

Most often, the correct adjustment is not possible at such a moment, therefore, the loop has to be adjusted.

Four laws of loop adjustment

Before adjusting, learn the rules in this area:

1. Before starting the setting of furniture hinges, the vertical distances are aligned with the height of the door, and then adjusted by setting. If you use an action algorithm, it will be much faster and easier to repair the hinges, since you will not have to go back.
2. At the beginning of the adjustment of the furniture hinges, make sure that the cabinet is exactly level by level in all the projections. To adjust the position of the furniture, use a special building level.
3. The desired level is sometimes impossible to achieve. In this situation, focus on the distance between the doors. If the cabinet is littered, then, consequently, the gaps will be larger than with the exact location. The standard indicator of a gap is more often used, correctly standing furniture - 3-5 mm.
4. You should also check the moment when the addition of the facade under the cup is correct. In the opposite situation, the sash will close poorly. Most often, the correct adjustment is not possible at such a moment, therefore, the loop has to be adjusted. After studying the basic rules for repairing doors, you can begin the correction of furniture screws, which is made in several planes at once.

Extends the life of the cabinet.

As is known, there are three planes: vertical (frontal), horizontal and profile ("forward-back").

Adjustment in planes

As is known, there are three planes: vertical (frontal), horizontal and profile ("forward-back"). Accordingly, they are adjustment loops.

To adjust the position of the furniture, use a special building level.

In this case, it is enough to twist the second adjustment bolt on the furniture fittings.

With the help of furniture hinges, you can change the position of the facade on the plane - this is useful when the doors are not pressed tightly against the body.

Slightly loosen the screws and push down on the doors or pull towards yourself, tighten the bolt again.

In order for the cabinet to serve for a long time, you need to adjust the hinges on the doors in all directions at once.

Before starting the setting of furniture hinges, the vertical distances are aligned with the height of the door, and then adjusted by setting.

First, it is better to perform the vertical adjustment.

First, it is better to perform the vertical adjustment. Frontal regulation is necessary when the leaf stands out from the general picture of the furniture, or one is located above the other (in the case when there are several doors on the model). This operation is carried out in four stages:

1. You should open the doors and find the hinges, then remove the plugs (if any).
2. On all sheds, tighten the screws that are closer to the sidewall. The vertical position depends on these bolts. Screws initially need to be balanced in order to decide on further actions.
3. Cover the door and pay attention to the general situation with respect to the cabinet. If the upper corner is directed to the right, then you should also fasten the bolts on the upper hinges, while loosening the lower ones.
4. For the full balance of the facade should be repeated 2 and 3 stages.

The durability of fasteners is influenced not only by adjusting the fittings, but also by correctly selected fasteners.

Frontal regulation is necessary when the leaf stands out from the general picture of the furniture, or one is located above the other (in the case when there are several doors on the model).

In this case, we can assume that the vertical adjustment is complete.

One type of adjustment: “back and forth”, or profile. This method allows to reduce or, on the contrary, increase the distance. Slightly loosen the screws and push down on the doors or pull towards yourself, tighten the bolt again.

Correct adjustment will not force you to go back.

For the full balance of the facade should be repeated 2 and 3 stages.

The cabinet hinges can be adjusted in a horizontal way.

Tighten the bolt so that the appropriate angle of the door approaches the frame. Reverse actions (weakening) allow the opposite distance from the frame. This adjustment of the door is used in the case when the sash is hanging at an angle.

This adjustment of the door is used in the case when the sash is hanging at an angle.

Slightly loosen the screws and push down on the doors or pull towards yourself, tighten the bolt again.

Independent work on the regulation of hinges of the doors is beneficial and helps to save on maintenance, but also gives a lot of positive emotions from the result. Correct adjustment will not force you to go back..
