TL;DR
A cabinet hinge adjustment is the realignment of a cabinet door using the setscrews built into modern concealed hinges, which move the door along three axes: side to side to even reveals, up and down to level it with neighbors, and in and out to seat it against the frame. European cup hinges make it a screwdriver-only task of quarter-turn increments, door by door, working top hinge against bottom.
What it means
A cabinet hinge adjustment is the realignment of a cabinet door using the setscrews built into modern concealed hinges, which move the door along three axes: side to side to even reveals, up and down to level it with neighbors, and in and out to seat it against the frame. European cup hinges make it a screwdriver-only task of quarter-turn increments, door by door, working top hinge against bottom. It is the standard cure for doors that sag, rub, overlap unevenly, or refuse to close flush, and seasonal humidity swings make periodic touch-ups normal. Handymen bundle a whole kitchen's worth into a short service visit, often with a soft-close upgrade while the doors are off.
