Why can a door become misaligned after a move?

After moving, it is common for a door to appear misaligned.

Several factors explain it:

1. Installation : the vibrations during transport and leveling in a new environment (floor not perfectly flat) cause the settings to shift.

2. Wood movement : wood is a living material; the humidity/temperature of the new place can cause slight variations.

3. Functional clearance: a gap of 2–3 mm between doors/cabinet is normal and intentional to prevent friction.

What to do (5 minutes of adjustment)?

1. Level the furniture: adjust the glides/feet and check with a spirit level.

2. Tighten the screws: a control tightening of the hinges/bases is often sufficient.

3. Adjust the 3D hinges:

   • Lateral (left/right) to equalize the gap between doors,

   • Depth (flush) so that the front is flat,

   • Height (on base) to align top/bottom.
     Proceed by quarter turns, checking with the door closed.

4. Check magnets/latches: move the housing forward/backward if the door bounces.

5. Allow to acclimate: in the first few days, the furniture naturally stabilizes.

Material reminder: our furniture is made of real wood (oak, acacia, pine, rubberwood); knots, color variations, and more or less pronounced grain are natural and do not affect quality.
