Cabinet Door Adjustment in Rockville, MD
Crooked doors, uneven gaps, corners that rub — we realign kitchen cabinet doors so they sit clean and even, across Rockville & the DMV.
When cabinet doors drift out of alignment — one corner low, gaps that taper, doors rubbing each other — it makes an otherwise nice kitchen look tired, and it usually means the hinges just need dialing in. NextDayJose adjusts and realigns cabinet doors on modern European (cup) hinges, tuning the three-way screws for height, depth, and side-to-side, for kitchens across Rockville, Silver Spring, Potomac, and the DMV. We reset even reveals across a run so the whole wall of cabinets lines up the way it did when it was new.
Sometimes a door is beyond a simple tweak — a stripped screw hole, a cracked hinge, or a mounting plate that's pulled loose — and we fix those too, re-anchoring into solid material. If the hinges are worn out entirely, upgrading to soft-close hinges solves the alignment and the slamming in one shot. While the doors are open it's a natural time to refresh the cabinet hardware, and for drawers that stick or boxes coming apart, that's our cabinet & drawer repair.

Real Local Insight from the DMV
The DMV's swings from bone-dry winter heating to sticky summer humidity make wood cabinet doors and face frames expand and contract all year, and over time the cup hinges drift — which is why so many Rockville and Silver Spring kitchens develop that tapered-gap look within a decade. A seasonal tune-up brings them right back. We see it most in the older Kensington and Chevy Chase kitchens where the boxes are solid wood and move more than today's engineered panels.
In newer Montgomery County townhomes the issue is usually the mounting plate screws backing out of particleboard cabinet sides — the material just doesn't hold a screw under the door's weight forever. Cranking it tighter strips it worse. We re-anchor with a larger fastener or a glue-and-dowel plug so the plate has fresh material to bite, then adjust. It's the difference between a fix that lasts and one that's loose again by spring.
