Cabinet Hinge (Self-Closing)

Kitchen · Moderate

Concealed euro-style hinges that let cabinet doors swing and self-close. Sagging or slamming doors usually mean loose screws or worn hinge cups.

Tools you may need

• Phillips screwdriver
• Drill with 5mm bit (for new installs)

Steps

1. 1Remove the door by unscrewing the hinge from the mounting plate.
2. 2Swap the worn hinge onto the door and clip it back to the plate.
3. 3Adjust the front cam screw for door gap, middle for height, rear for depth.
4. 4Test the swing and self-close action, then final-tighten all screws.

Maintenance

Tighten mounting screws yearly; a drop of oil on the pivot if squeaking. (Suggested interval: every 1 year.)
