Adjustable hinges are often used in furniture to ensure that doors and drawers are properly aligned. Over time, these hinges may become misaligned due to wear and tear or changes in humidity. In this article, we will discuss how to correctly adjust the left and right adjustable hinges in furniture.
Tools Needed
Before adjusting the hinges, you will need a few tools:
- Screwdriver
- Level
- Tape measure
- Pencil
Steps to Adjust the Hinges
Follow these steps to correctly adjust the left and right adjustable hinges in furniture:
- Remove the door or drawer from the furniture.
- Locate the adjustment screws on the hinge. These are typically located on the side of the hinge closest to the door or drawer.
- Use the screwdriver to turn the adjustment screws. Turning the screw clockwise will raise the door or drawer, while turning it counterclockwise will lower it.
- Place the level on the door or drawer to ensure that it is level. If it is not level, adjust the screws until it is.
- Measure the distance between the top of the door or drawer and the top of the furniture. This should be the same on both sides.
- If the distance is not the same, adjust the screws until it is.
- Replace the door or drawer and test it to ensure that it opens and closes properly.
By following these steps, you can easily adjust the left and right adjustable hinges in furniture to ensure that doors and drawers are properly aligned.
