How to install wardrobe door hinges
In the process of home decoration or furniture installation, the hinge installation of wardrobe doors is a critical step. Improper installation of hinges may cause door panels to become loose, open and close poorly, or even be damaged. This article will introduce in detail the installation steps, precautions and solutions to common problems of wardrobe door hinges to help you complete the installation easily.
1. Preparations before installation
Before starting installation, make sure you have the following tools and materials:
| Tools/Materials | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Screwdriver (cross/slotted) | Fixing hinge screws |
| electric drill | Pre-drilled holes (optional) |
| tape measure | Measure hinge position |
| pencil | Mark drilling points |
| Hinge (2-3 pieces) | Connect the door panel to the cabinet |
| Screws (matching) | Fixed hinge |
2. Installation steps
1.Determine hinge position: Usually the wardrobe door hinges are installed 10-15cm above and below the door panel, and one is added in the middle (if the door panel is higher). Use a tape measure to measure and mark the location.
2.Pre-drilled holes: Pre-drill small holes with a fine drill bit at the mark to avoid wood cracking (if it is a wooden cabinet door).
3.Fixed hinge: Align the hinge with the hole and tighten the screws with a screwdriver. Pay attention to fixing the cabinet side first, then the door panel side.
4.Adjust alignment: After the installation is completed, check whether the door panel is level. You can fine-tune the hinge position through the elastic screws.
