Cabinet Hinge Replacement

Support the cabinet door with one hand or have a helper hold it steady. Using a screwdriver, carefully unscrew the hinges from the cabinet frame. Once all screws are removed from both hinges, lift the door away from the cabinet.

With the cabinet door removed and resting on a flat surface, use a screwdriver to unscrew the hinges from the back of the door. Keep track of which hinge came from which side of the door if they are not identical.

Inspect the mounting areas on both the cabinet frame and the back of the door. Remove any old paint, debris, or adhesive residue that might interfere with the proper seating of the new hinges. A putty knife or scraper can be useful for this. Ensure the surfaces are clean and smooth.

Position the new hinges on the back of the cabinet door according to the manufacturer's instructions or the placement of the old hinges. Insert the provided screws through the hinge holes and into the door. Tighten the screws until the hinges are securely attached, but do not overtighten.

Align the free side of the new hinges with the corresponding mounting points on the cabinet frame. Insert the hinge screws into the pre-drilled holes on the cabinet frame and tighten them securely. You may need to adjust the door's position slightly before fully tightening the screws.

Open and close the cabinet door several times to check its alignment. If the door is crooked, rubs against the frame, or has uneven gaps, use the adjustment screws on the hinges (if available) or slightly loosen and reposition the hinge screws on the frame to correct the alignment. Once satisfied, firmly tighten all screws.
