Troubleshooting Tips

Occasionally, we have received customer concerns over doors that do not close properly or do not

close all the way. There are usually only about five reasons for a door to not close properly and we

have covered each one below.

Soft close hinges are incorrectly setup: There is a gray selector switch in the cup

of the hinge as illustrated in the picture above. This switch needs to be in the

same direction on both hinges. The switch is a mechanism for 75% closure speed

or 25% closure speed meaning it slows the door down when closing at 75% open

or 25% open. That is the point where the internal mechanism catches the doors

and slows down its closing process.

Hinge spacers have been removed: We use a white plastic hinge spacer on our

frameless cabinets. This spacer ensures that the hinges have enough clearance so

the edge of the door does not rub on the plastic trim surround of the cabinet box.

DO NOT REMOVE THESE SPACERS, they are there for a reason.

Walls are not perfectly flat: In most remodeling projects the beginning surface is

not perfectly flat or square despite how it may look. Thus, once the screws are

tightened into the side studs it can cause the cabinet box to be bowed or tweaked

that can also cause the door to not close properly. Check for plum(level) or square

of the installed cabinet. If either of these seem out of line Re-adjust the tension of

the mounting screws on the cabinet and or shim around the box to eliminate the

binding of the cabinet door.

Adjustment #1 - Use this screw to move the door

towards or away from the front of the cabinet box (to

close the gap between the door and the box). It will

only turn about ¼ turn either way.

Adjustment #2 – Use this screw to move the door

side to side. It will only turn about ¼ turn either

way.

Adjustment #3 – This switch is for full soft close or

partial soft close. See tips on last page.

Adjustment #4 – You can loosen your hinge

mounting screw and adjust the door slightly up or

down, then re-tighten the screw.
