Check the door hinges

If that’s not the issue, turn your attention back to the hinges. Hinges that are too deeply set into the door frame cause the door to sit too close to the frame. In turn, this means that they spring back open either as soon as you close them or after they’ve built up a bit of tension.

You can choose to paint them, or you can opt for contemporary doors, or even install a decorative mirror as an accent point. Depending on your budget and the amount of time you are willing to spend on the project, there are countless ways you can transform old fitted wardrobes into something that feels brand new.

To fix a loose door hinge, remove the existing screws and drill out ⅜-inch holes. Fill the new holes with 1-inch wooden dowels with wood glue. Wait 1 hour for the glue to dry before drilling new ⅛-inch pilot holes and replacing the screws.

A liner is a piece of MFC (melamine-faced chipboard). This will match your choice of sliding door frame. The purpose of a liner is to act as a floor plate for the bottom track as well as a wall liner where the sliding doors will meet the wall.

There are many reasons why your cabinet won’t close all the way. Some common issues include warping, hinge damage, loose hinges, or wear and tear. A great way to stop these issues from impacting the functionality of your cabinets is to take the right preventative measures.

All you have to do is adjust a few screws in the door hinges. There’s one set that controls how high or low the door sits and a second set of screws that adjust how far the door sits to the left or right. The last screw will control how the door opens and closes.
