Lining up doors on kitchen corner unit?

[Ian H]

This unit is hinged on the left then the right door is hinged off the left door.

The bottom right corner of the right door is too low and I can't seem to raise it no matter what I adjust.

Can anyone help? Thanks

This is the left door to unit hinge:

Door to door hinge:

And unit from the front:

I've tried pushing the bottom left bracket out and to the right but it doesn't go high enough.

Looks like the hinges are the wrong way round the one you have on the cabinet should link the doors.

You need to change the hinge in the first picture, for the adjustable style in the second picture, but they may not do them. In fact, I'd look for some better quality hinges. Can you not adjust the 2nd hinge to get it to lift.

The hinges are designed for that purpose , just fitted in wrong position.

Ian, trust you to put it in the wrong hole.

Now I'm not saying you're right, and I'm not saying I'm wrong, but it looks to me as though the 1st hinge has an indent on the door, and the 2nd hinge doesn't, so they can't be reversed. Have another look, and give me a second opinion.

I can't understand why there is a handle where the first set of hinges is...... how would that work?

 

[Ian H]

It's a dummy, just like me

I'm seeing it the same but will have a closer look tonight.

Indents? circular recess? inner door seems to have two, outer door none.

I wonder if the unit isn't square?

Like this:

Pull the two doors out straight, and put a spirit level on them. If the carcase was out, I suspect it would have shown up when you put it up alongside the adjoining one, but the spirit level would check the units as well.

The hinge you have on the carcass only has lateral adjustment, you need the standard hinge there.
