  5. Final Tighten: Once aligned, fully tighten all hinge screws.
  6. Test Operation: Open and close door to ensure smooth movement and proper clearance.

Tip: For multiple doors, install hinges on all doors first, then mount doors one by one, adjusting as you go.

IKEA hinges allow 3-way adjustment for perfect alignment.

  1. Height Adjustment: Loosen screw on hinge plate; move door up/down; retighten.
  2. Depth Adjustment: Turn screw on hinge to move door closer to or farther from frame (for gap/flush alignment).
  3. Side-to-Side Adjustment: Turn screw on hinge arm to shift door left/right (for even gaps between doors).

Adjustment Order: 1. Height, 2. Depth, 3. Side-to-side. Make small adjustments and test frequently.
