In a Mermaid Waters kitchen, several cupboard doors had dropped out of line and were hard to close, and it was getting worse.
A number of hinges were worn or broken, which made the doors sag and rub on the cabinets beside them. I replaced the faulty hinges, realigned the doors and adjusted the rest of the hardware for even gaps and smooth opening.
Every door now opens and closes properly without sagging or catching, and a few tweaks to the neighbouring cabinets tidied up the whole kitchen, all without replacing any cabinetry.
How I fix sagging kitchen cupboard doors
- Check whether the hinge, the screw hole or the door itself has failed.
- Replace worn hinges with matching soft-close or standard ones.
- Repair stripped screw holes so the hinges hold.
- Adjust each door for even gaps and a flush line.
- Check every door in the run, not just the worst one.
