Over on our FB group, Amy asked this question: “We’ve just built our IVAR cabinet and put the doors on, to discover a gaping hole in the middle of the doors!
Well, she’s not alone in this. If you’ve ever assembled an IVAR cabinet, you would have faced this. In fact, any IKEA cabinet with 2 doors has this issue.
The first adjustment is to get the two doors level. So if one door is higher than the other, loosen the two screws that hold the hinge to the frame and gently nudge the door to the right position, then fasten again. (If you have someone to help you hold the door in place, it’ll be so much easier.)

Once you got the level of the doors right, you now tackle the hard bit — the front-to-back and side-to-side adjustment. I’ve found that you’ll need to make both adjustments bit by bit.
Adjust, stand back to check the alignment, adjust again. Till you get it as close as possible. Mine still has a 3mm gap, which is fine by me.
If nothing works, maybe the IVAR Gap Kit will. I’ve not tried it but it promises to remove the annoying gap in no time.

Simply place 1 spacer from the IVAR Gap Kit behind each hinge, after which the space (Gap) between the doors will disappear. Like magic!
If anyone has tried this, please let us know if it works as advertised. Find out more about the IVAR Gap Kit.
This one is from A Beautiful Mess. They got rid of the gap completely with a thin piece of 2″ wide basswood, glued on one of the doors.
