Cabinet Adjustment Tips

From adjusting cabinet hinges, to drawer fronts and runners, use the tips below to learn how to align kitchen cabinets.

How to Adjust Cabinet Hinges

We construct our cabinetry with several types of durable, high-performance hinges that will operate smoothly and silently for years. Periodically tighten hinge screws because they can loosen over time with normal use. You can also adjust cabinet door hinges for an exact fit and like-new operation. Find detailed instructions on adjusting cabinet hinges in our Installation, Care & Cleaning Guide.
