Cabinet Door Gap

Hi, I recently replaced the old broken euro brace concealed door hinges(half overlay, I think) for the cabinet with new ones(different brand). But after installation of the new hinges, I found quite big gap between two doors. Is this due to incompatible door hinges?

Your door hinges have adjustment screws on them that can be adjusted to close that gap. If you look up adjustments on your particular hinge you can find out what to do otherwise you can experiment with them to find out what each screw does.

Unlikely. If you max out your centering adjustment, shim the styles behind the hinges please.

Hi Joseph,

Can you please share more details on how to shim the styles behind the hinges? I have no idea how and what to do.

Thanks.
