Troubleshooting
Door sticks or scrapes the frame
Check hinge alignment and ensure all screws are tightened evenly. Minor adjustments to screw depth or hinge position may be needed.
Hinge squeaks during operation
Apply a small amount of graphite lubricant or silicone spray directly to the hinge pin. Avoid oil-based lubricants which can attract dust.
Screws do not tighten properly
The screw holes may be stripped. Try using slightly larger screws or filling the hole with wood filler or a wooden dowel before re-inserting the screw.
