Do not use an electric screwdriver, as this could slip and damage your new doors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could also use someone as a second pair of eyes to make sure that your doors are flush and symmetrical to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What Each Screw Does<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Front screw (furthest from the back of the wardrobe) &#8211; changes the gap between the two wardrobe doors<\/li><li>Middle screw (or the two which are above and below the back and front screw) &#8211; alters the height of the bedroom door (can move it up\/down)<\/li><li>Back screw (closest to the back of the wardrobe) &#8211; changes how close the wardrobe door is to the carcass<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Moving Your Doors From Side-to-Side<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are moving the door closer to the cabinet then you should turn the <strong>front screw<\/strong> in a clockwise motion. However, if you are moving the door further away from the cabinet (as it may stick out from the wardrobe unit), then you need to turn the screw anticlockwise. However, you should be careful not to loosen the screw too much, as the door could fall off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Moving Your Doors Up &amp; Down<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your door is the wrong height and needs moving up or down from the wardrobe unit then you should start by loosening the top and bottom hinge. This is done by turning both of the <strong>middle screws<\/strong> in an anticlockwise position. By doing this, you can freely level the door and move the backplate to the preferred position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should remember that by loosening the two screws, the wardrobe door will drop, so you could use someone else to support the weight of the door whilst you make the necessary adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>How to Level Wardrobe Doors if You Are Unable to With Hinges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes, you may not be able to change your wardrobe doors with the hinges (for example if the hinges are not adjustable or you cannot adjust anymore).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>What you need<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Furniture wedges\/ alignment adjusters\/ levellers (1mm-8mm)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Putting wedges under the back legs of the wardrobe units<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, you need to put the wedges underneath the wardrobe unit on the back legs. You should use the right-sized wedge which can be worked by the amount of adjustment you need to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to increase the height of the <strong>left-hand door<\/strong>, then you need to put the wedge under the <strong>back<\/strong> <strong>right-hand leg<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to increase the height of the <strong>right-hand door<\/strong>, then you need to put the wedge under the <strong>back left-hand leg.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>If you are interested in replacing your wardrobe doors, then we have a wide range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchendoorhub.com\/replacement-bedroom-doors\">bedroom doors<\/a>.
