    I can’t thank you enough for making this adjustment and fix soooo easy to understand! I’ve messed around with my 2 new bath vanity’s for 2 days now, and kept getting nowhere. Now I hope to find the easy adjustment for the up and down issues I’ve got. I’ve been loosening all the screws over and over. You’ve probably got the easy fix for that too. Thank you!

    What if the wood on on the cabinet door is too old to hold the hinges and only holds a short period of time before the door falls off again

    • @sausagewalllet
      @sausagewalllet Год назад +1

      You possibly could try glueing in some wedges or dowels that may give your screws something to bite into. If not get a sledgehammer and rip everything off😁

  • @firstnamelastname6717

    Great! It would really help if you gave three actual examples (you've given one here) of problems requiring, separately, how to identify which of the hinges (upper/lower; left door/right door) and which of the three screws needs adjustment. Then how to check that you've done it correctly. Thanks!

    tried every combination. they wont fit flush. If i adjust the top, the whole door overlaps the other door. if I adjust the bottom, the top overlaps the other door. I slide them back i slide them forward. nothing fits.
