Cupboard door not sitting straight? Hinges realigned so door closes flush and looks professional. Quick adjustment, big improvement in appearance.
### Get That Professional Finish Back
Your cupboard door **isn't quite right**. Sits proud at one corner, gaps uneven, or just obviously not flush with its neighbors.
Your kitchen looks **almost perfect** but that one wonky door catches your eye every single time you walk past.
**Ten minutes and a screwdriver.** Realigned, flush, looking how it should.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Often when one door's wonky, its neighbors need slight adjustment too. Getting them all aligned together makes the whole run look professional.

Good to Know
**Soft-close stopped working?** Sometimes when doors are badly misaligned, soft-close doesn't engage. Realignment often fixes it - once door travels properly, mechanism works again. **Handles loose too?** Common when doors have been misaligned - extra stress on handles. I can tighten them while adjusting doors. **Full kitchen needs doing?** If multiple doors are wonky, doing them all together makes sense. Whole kitchen looks better when everything aligns properly. **New kitchen but doors wonky?** Installers often don't fine-tune doors properly. Not unusual to need adjustment even on brand new kitchens. Should have been done during install but easy to fix.
Frequently Asked Questions about Cupboard door realignment in Ottery St Mary
What's the difference between adjustment and realignment?
Honestly? Nothing - they're the same job! Both mean tweaking the hinges so the door sits properly. I use both terms because people search for both, but you're getting the same service.
Can all cupboard doors be realigned?
Modern ones with adjustable hinges - yes. Really old cupboards with basic fixed hinges - limited options, might need hinge replacement. I'll assess and advise what's possible.
Will realignment damage my cupboards?
No - it's just adjusting screws that are designed to be adjusted. Non-invasive, reversible if needed, no damage to cupboards or doors.
How long will the realignment last?
Should last years if hinges are in good condition. But cupboards get daily use - over time things can shift again. Easy to re-adjust when needed.
Can you do this while I'm using the kitchen?
Yes - I'll work around you. One door at a time, minimal disruption. Can usually complete it while you're making a cuppa!
