Making Adjustment on frameless cabinets!
June 11, 2010 Leave a Comment
While we take great care to ensure that your cabinetry arrives in excellent condition, normal shipping and handling can sometimes result in the need for adjustments after installation. Most often, you will find that you (or your contractor) will need to fine-tune your cabinetry after the installation. After all the cabinets have been installed plumb and level, place doors and drawers back on the cabinets. Install doors and make hinge adjustments so reveals between doors and drawers are equal. Make these adjustments before installing pulls or knobs.
INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL OF CABINET DOORS
Your cabinet doors come with easy-release hinges that allow for easy removal and re-attachment without the need for tools.
Detach doors by depressing the release tab shown in the diagrams blow.
Reattach doors by lining the hinge to the mounting plate and applying pressure to the back of the hinge near the release tab. You will hear a click once the latch is re-engaged.

DOORS
Your Demetra Cabinetry comes with 6-way adjustable hinges. These adjustable hinges allow you to shift the doors left to right, up or down, and in and out as shown in the diagrams below. This allows you to dial in the proper alignment with only a screw driver.
ADJUSTING
DRAWER
FRONTS
Drawer fronts can be adjusted for proper alignment. If you are installing handles that will require you to drill through the drawer box, be sure to align the drawer fronts first.
Adjustments are made by loosing the two screws securing the drawer front to the drawer box. Once the screws are loosened, you will be able to move the drawer front up and down, right or left and a few degrees clockwise or counter clockwise. Once you have achieved the desired positioning, tighten the adjustment screws to lock the drawer front into position. To avoid cracking the drawer front or stripping the screws, be careful not to over tighten the screws.
