How To Adjust Cabinet Doors That Won't Close
As per the image above, first adjust the hinges vertically. You will need to do this by loosening all of the hinges on the door at once. Loosen the top and bottom vertical adjustment screws one or two turns so that you can move the door in small increments with some force otherwise the whole door may come loose and you will have to recruit someone to hold the door in place while you screw it back on. When the door is in the correct position, tighten all of the screws in the slotted holes.
Next adjust the hinges inwards or outwards. If the door fouls the cabinet side when closing or there is a large gap between the door and the cabinet side when closed then adjust the hinge outwards or inwards respectively to correct for this.
Finally you straighten the door. This is done with the screw on the front of the hinge. This will need to be done in conjunction with the other hinges on the door so make small adjustments to each until the door is straight. If the top edge of the door is too high, you will need to adjust the top hinge outwards (screw clockwise) and the bottom hinge inwards (screw anti-clockwise). If the top edge of the door is too low, you will need to adjust the bottom hinge outwards (screw clockwise) and the top hinge inwards (screw anti-clockwise).
