Easy Parts & Steps To Fix Cabinets Doors That Overlap

The users can easily fix the cabinets doors that are overlapping by following the below-mentioned parts with steps:

Gather All The Tools And Materials: The users need to start by gathering all the tools and the materials that they require while accomplishing this task like a screwdriver, wood glue, and the Replacement hinges as well.
Examine The Hinges: The users need to examine the screws whether they are tight or lose because the loose screw can be the only reason responsible for the overlapping of the cabinet doors. If in case the users find out the loose screws are causing the problems then they need to open the door of the cabinet and then apply the pressure on the under surface of the door and if they find out that the cabinet door gets lifted up easily by doing this then they need to fix the hinges with the screwdriver respectively.
Fastening The Screws: In order to fix up the door of the cabinet the users need to lift the cabinet door and then fasten the screws by using the screwdriver until it won't get secured adjacent to the wood. If in case the users find out that the screws turned freely then the hole must be exposed and the users need to restore the door hinges accordingly.

Fixing The Overlap: The screws that are used in the adjustment of the alignment of the hinges are placed near the cabinet opening. There should be 2 channels that are forming the plus sign crosswise on the cabinet door surface. The users then need to bend the screws in the counter-clockwise direction in order to detach the door of the cabinet from that side point where the cabinet door closes if there are the chances of the overlapping.
Fixing The Gap: Having the gaps in the door hinges is the common problem that the users might face and to solve this problem the users need to bend down the screws in the clockwise direction so as the door will come near to the closing end.

Fixing The Exposed Screw Locations: If the above steps were not useful in fixing the overlapping of the doors the users then need to either change the door hinges or they have to fix the expose screw positions. The exposed screw positions can be repaired in two different ways either the users need to change the door hinge by damaging the surface of the cabinet door or the users can strengthen the cabinet frame at that particular area by using the bare screws. The users can also use the wood glue in strengthening the hole of the screw as it can turn out to be the short-lived solution for this problem.
