How Do You Adjust Wardrobe Door Hinges?

Concealed wardrobe hinges adjust in three directions: the screw nearest the door face moves it sideways, the rear screw sets how close it sits to the carcass, and loosening the mounting plate lets the door slide up or down. Work in quarter turns, closing the door between each one, and always start with the top hinge because it carries the visible upper line. This guide matches each fault to its cure, covering doors that sag at the outer edge, uneven vertical gaps between a pair, and doors that spring back rather than closing flush. It also identifies the problems hinges cannot fix, including an unlevel floor or a racked carcass, and shows the proper five minute repair for a stripped chipboard screw hole. It also explains why a door should be hung and adjusted before handles are fitted, and how to keep a pair of doors reading as a matched set across the front of the wardrobe....

How Do You Attach Wardrobe Doors?

Wardrobe doors attach in two stages: hinge mounting plates screw into pre drilled positions on the carcass side panel, and cup hinges seat into the recessed holes on the back of the door, before the two halves clip or screw together. The order matters more than the tools. This guide walks through checking the carcass is square, sorting the fittings so the wrong screw does not go into a side panel, seating each cup hinge parallel to the door edge, and hanging from the top hinge down using spacers to hold the height. It also explains the three plane hinge adjustment for even door gaps, covers the different approach sliding tracks require, and fixes the usual problems including stripped screw holes and sagging doors. It also covers when to fit a door before or after securing the carcass to the wall, and how to protect a gloss or melamine front from scuffs while you work....
