How to adjust a 3D hinge to align a door?

Follow these steps in order, turning each screw in small increments.

  1. Level the furniture (pads/adjustments): a door can misalign if the cabinet is tilted.

  2. Identify the 3 adjustments on the hinge:

    • Lateral (left/right): moves the door closer to or further from the edge of the cabinet → used to equalize the gaps between doors.

    • Depth (flush): moves the door closer to or further from the inside of the cabinet → to ensure the front is flush.

    • Height (top/bottom): often on the hinge base (or via oblong slots) → aligns the tops of the doors.

  3. Make small corrections:

    • Close the door after each adjustment to check the result.

    • Aim for a regular gap of 2–3 mm between doors/cabinet.

  4. Tighten to a "firm without forcing" torque all the fastening screws when the alignment is good.

  5. Soft-close (if present): some hinges have a damper adjustment (more/less resistance).

  6. After moving or the first few weeks of use, perform a check-tightening.

Tips & Safety:

  • Do not confuse adjustment screws with fastening screws (do not overtighten the latter).

  • If a door remains misaligned, recheck the level of the furniture and the squareness.

  • If the threading is damaged, use an appropriate insert or contact our customer service with the product reference.
