I've built an Ikea cabinet. It's got hinges same as kitchen doors.
The door is slanting to the right.
I can't figure out what to do.
I've seen a few youtube videos and am confused.
I can't see any instructions for adjusting slanting - this involves (I guess) adjusting just one hinge?

See pic below.

I've tried adjusting all screws, but having no luck.

I had the same problem on the left side - I have 4 columns.
But that one I somehow fixed and it looks OK. (Don't know what I did!!)
The centre ones are OK.

The wobbliness of the cabinet on the ends - does that affect the door?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

your picture appears to be of a ceiling

stand back and show us the whole cabinet, door open and door closed

include your spirit level held against the edge.
 
See pics below. Let me know if that helps.
I had to do creative cutting. The structure is fairly secure now though.
The spirit level is bang in the middle.
Let me know what you think.
