Wardrobe door adjusted to close properly - whether it's hinged, sliding, or bifold. Doors sit straight, close flush, and don't catch on the frame anymore.
That Door That Won't Bloody Close Properly
You know the one: catches on the frame, won't sit flush, or drags across the carpet. You've been putting up with it for months and it's doing your head in.
💡 Pro tip: Door problems get worse if ignored - hinges loosen further, runners wear, and eventually you can't close it at all. Quick adjustment now prevents bigger issues.
Why DIY Adjustments Often Fail
| ✅ Done Properly | ❌ Quick Bodge |
|---|---|
| All hinges checked and adjusted | Just tightened the visible screws |
| Doors sit level and parallel | Still wonky, just tighter |
| Stripped holes properly repaired | Screw turns but doesn't grip |
| Runs smoothly after adjustment | Catches in different place now |
Wardrobe door adjustment is about understanding why it's gone wrong, not just randomly tightening things.

I'll open and close the door to see where it's catching, check if hinges are loose, and look at whether the wardrobe's sitting level.
Step 2: Make Adjustments
Tighten or adjust hinges, realign sliding door runners, or fix whatever's causing the problem. Might need to plug stripped screw holes.
Step 3: Test Properly

Good to Know
> 🎨 **Multiple wardrobes playing up?** Do them all in one visit - once I've got the tools out, each additional one is quick. **Flatpack wardrobe falling apart?** If it's more than just door adjustment - the whole thing's racking or coming apart - that's a bigger job. I'll assess it honestly and tell you if it's repairable or if you need a new one. **Old houses with sloping floors?** Common in Exeter. Sometimes the wardrobe's fine but the floor's wonky, making doors sit unevenly. I can shim the wardrobe level if that's what's needed.
Frequently Asked Questions about Wardrobe door realignment in Exmouth
Why has my wardrobe door gone wonky?
Usually the hinges have worked loose over time, or the whole wardrobe has settled slightly (common in older houses with uneven floors). Sometimes it's just that someone's hung too many heavy coats on the door.
Can you fix sliding wardrobe doors that have come off the track?
Yes - I'll get them back on, adjust the rollers so they run smoothly, and check the track isn't damaged. If the track's bent or broken, that's a bigger job but I'll let you know.
Will tightening the hinges actually work long-term?
If the screw holes haven't stripped, yes. If they're wallowed out, I'll plug them with matchsticks and wood glue, then re-screw - holds for years. If the whole hinge is knackered, I'll advise replacing it.
One door sits lower than the other - can you level them?
Yes, that's a simple hinge adjustment. Most modern hinges have adjustment screws for height, depth, and sideways movement. I'll get them sitting level.
How long will it take?
20-30 minutes for most doors. Might be a bit longer if it's a big run of sliding doors or if hinges need plugging and re-drilling.
