Misaligned cupboard door straightened and realigned so it sits flush and closes properly. No more gap at one side or catching on the frame.
### When Cupboard Doors Develop a Mind of Their Own
Sitting proud on one side, gap at the other? **Classic misalignment.**
Could be from loose screws, someone leaning on the open door, or just years of use. Whatever caused it, the result's the same: door doesn't sit flush, catches when closing, and looks obviously wrong.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Cupboard doors don't usually need replacing - they just need their hinges adjusted properly. Saves you hundreds versus new doors.

Good to Know
> 🚪 **Multiple wonky doors?** They're probably all loose - do them all in one visit. Once you're paying the £60 minimum, extra doors barely add time. **New kitchen installed badly?** If it's recent and still under warranty, call the fitters back. But if you just want it fixed without the hassle, I can sort it. **Really old cupboards** without modern hinges are trickier - might need packing out or repositioning. But usually still fixable.
Frequently Asked Questions about Cupboard door realignment in Sidmouth
What's the difference between adjustment and realignment?
Honestly? Same thing - adjusting the hinges so the door sits straight and closes properly. Whether it's slightly off or properly wonky, the fix is the same: tighten screws and tweak the hinge adjustments till it's right.
Can badly misaligned doors be fixed?
Usually yes. Even doors that look properly wonky can often be fixed by adjusting hinges and tightening screws. Occasionally you find the cabinet itself has shifted or the door's badly warped, but that's rare. 90% are fixable.
Why do cupboard doors go out of alignment?
Screws work loose over time (opened and closed thousands of times), or someone's leaned on the door when it was open (shifts the hinges), or the house has settled slightly. All normal, all fixable.
Will you need to remove the door?
Sometimes - makes it easier to tighten hinge screws properly or fix stripped screw holes. But often I can adjust it in place. Either way, it goes back on straight.
My doors were fine until the floor was done - can you fix them?
Floor work often shifts cabinets slightly. If units aren't perfectly level anymore, doors don't hang right. I can realign them to work with the new floor level.
