Troubleshooting
Door does not close flush
Ensure hinges are correctly aligned and securely fastened. Check for any obstructions preventing the door from closing fully.
Hinges feel stiff or creak
Apply a small amount of appropriate lubricant (e.g., graphite powder or silicone spray) to the hinge pin. Avoid over-lubricating.
Screws do not tighten properly
Check if the screw holes have become stripped. If so, you may need to use slightly larger screws or wood filler to repair the hole before reinserting the screw.
