It's great, but even after an hour of adjusting hinges, door does not close completely. Any suggestions? am thinking adhesive magnets? what to do?

Hi, I have bought two of this cabinet. The first one was two years ago. Looking at them, they have different hinges. The first one has a more expensive looking scissor type hinge. The second is a basic pin type. I would ask for a whole new set, or look at the side of the cabinet where the hinges mount. Is it bent? They both seem like they are self closing, so if it doesn't close all the way, there must be something wrong with the hinge. Hope this helps.

Sorry I can't help because the contractor installed it. I did notice a few dings around the frame which indicated he had some trouble with it so you're not alone. It 's really beautiful so hope you can get it to fit. Mine snaps shut tight so I wonder if yours was damaged in shipping. Good luck

i used these last year on a job yes the hinge does come away from the frame about 1/4'' and i was able to make adjustments in the face frame for the doors to fit closer. there is a slit adjustment on them and truth is you have to work it on the frame and make sure you recess the hinge into the backside of the door flush and flat for a better finish, a bit tricky yet doable. the doors showing at the end of a row is what you need to focus on, as that is where you see the gap the most. once all the other doors are in place then it looks good. . hope this helps .iron brian

yes. loosten the screws, and pull, or adjust the door, to your desire, and re tighten the screws. i had to do this also, just replacing the hinges will not guarentee proper alighnment of doors. the weight of the doors needs to be taken off, or alighned for proper level looks.

My hinges were not stripped out, they broke at the hinge point. I would try using the plastic drywall inserts that expand when you put the screws in,

Make sure the gate is tightened sufficiently to close, also that the gate is straight, perpendicularly and horizontally. My gate became lose once because the top tighteners moved out of place over Thanksgiving. Too, many people working the gate - pushing and pulling in the wrong directions etc... I plan to install the holders for a more permanent fix soon. If this does not help, please report your situation to Amazon. They are great at helping you solve such problems. And, committed to your satisfaction.

You need to make sure that slide the outer hinge out correctly!! I had that problem too, until I figured out how to seal it properly!!

You need to pop off the plastic covers on the hinges and tighten them. I had the same problem but it's a really easy fix.

Mine can definitely tilt. It sounds like yours is either defective or the hinge is just really tight! (some pictures for proof: http://imgur.com/a/MAN8L )

I did not have a problem with the doors. On the hinges there are "set" screws. On one hinge, you adjust the screw for vertical fit; on the other hinge you adjust for horizontal fit. Hope this helps

Take a peek at your unit. Has the metal plate that holds the door shut via magnet disappeared? My husband actually screwed the plate to the door and fixed the problem.

i have not this problem, the door instructions were very confusing and actually had to redo what we thought was right. Maybe look into how it was assembled.

After 4 months of use the metal plate that touch the magnet came out, and I had hard time to close the door. Here is the solution that I used, get the instant glue (e.g., super glue, gorilla or crazy glue)and apply it on the back side of the metal plate and press it hard and hold it for 1-2 minute. For best result, keep the door open for 2-3 hours and let the glue dry completely. Now close & open the door in normal fashion. By the way, I used super glue that I had in my garage. For last 5 months it is working fine and hopefully, it will resolve your problem. If it works for you, please review and make your comments so that other people can use the same technique. Good luck.

I had this same issue and it was an issue with the door. You can have amazon send a replacement.

I bought some magnet strips and hot glued them to the existing strips. Makes the space between the magnet strips on the flaps and the door less. better chance to seal. I did it and they stay shut no problem. Good luck.

Mine was doing the same thing only after a few months of use. I used a needle-nosed pliers to bend the hinge on the left hand side just slightly. For ours it helped to bend it to the left and we continued to use trial and error of bending slightly then closing the door and repeating this until it closed snugly against the frame. Seems like a temporary fix, but hopefully it will hold out for at least a little bit. I also tried e-mailing the company about the problem and am waiting to hear back.

I had the same problem. This thing is very secure which is good unless the combination fails to work. I tried drilling the spot welds off the hinge which sort of worked but after much struggle and dull drills I finally just tore at the thing with a large screw driver and crow bar. After about 1/2 hour of struggle I finally got it open. I now use a key-lock key safe.

I placed thin cardboard shims on the door portion on some of the hinges to help the door with closing flush with the face molding. I also need to re-drill most of the holes.
