Скачать или смотреть Kitchen Cabinet Hack: How to Spot Warped Doors BEFORE You Install Them!

Installing new kitchen cabinets? Don't skip this step! Today, I’m sharing a crucial tip for anyone buying "big box" store cabinets. Sometimes, despite your best efforts to adjust the hinges, the doors just won't close flush. I’ll show you how to test your doors for warping and why you should return them immediately if they don't pass the "flat surface test."

TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Introduction: Why checking for level doors is crucial for a pro finish 00:36 - The Hinge Trap: Why adjusting hinges won't fix a warped door 01:13 - Why It Happens: Storage, temperature, and transportation issues 01:37 - THE TEST: Using a flat floor to check for door warping 02:10 - Identifying the Gap: When a door is off by nearly an inch! 03:17 - Big Door Issues: Checking taller pantry or cabinet doors 03:31 - The Return Process: Don't settle for damaged goods you paid for

KEY INSPECTION TIPS:
The Flat Surface Test: The easiest way to check for a "whooped" or warped door is to lay it face-down on a perfectly flat floor or countertop [01:37]. If it rocks back and forth or has a visible gap in the corner [02:41], it’s warped.

Know When to Quit: If you’ve followed all the YouTube tutorials on adjusting cabinet hinges [02:20] and the door still sticks out at the top or bottom, the wood itself is likely twisted.

Storage Matters: Wood is a natural material. If cabinets sit in a warehouse or a damp garage for too long [01:19], they can easily bend. Always inspect them as soon as they arrive at your job site.

Return Policy: Don't be afraid to take them back to Lowe's or Home Depot [01:08]. You paid for a quality product, and they will usually swap out just the doors for you without having to return the whole cabinet box.
