Euro/cup hinge adjustments

There are three adjustments that can be made on a European/cup cabinet door hinge. The three adjustments are: vertical, horizontal and gap.

Vertical hinge adjustment - via slots in the mounting plate

Why adjust a door up or down?
- To line up a row of doors.
- To adjust the gap between a door and drawer above it.
- To center the door in the opening in the case of an inset door.

Horizontal hinge adjustment

Why change the horizontal adjustment?
• To align with a drawer above it.
• To straighten the door if the cabinet is not plumb.  One hinge may be moved left and the other right, straightening the visual placement of the door.
• To increase or decrease overlay on the side panel.
• To center in the opening on an inset door application.

Gap adjustment (in and out) – via slots in the mounting plate.

Why change the gap?
• To account for the added thickness of door bumpers on the apposing edge.
• To match the gap created when bumpers are installed on the draw above.
• To decrease or increase the gap as desired.
