Some time ago, I assembled an IKEA Besta chest of drawers, but I noticed that the doors are not hanging straight; instead, they are crooked. One door sticks noticeably at the bottom, and the other more so at the top. It looks like the hinges are not properly adjusted. What exactly can I do to fix the problem with the misaligned doors? Are there specific adjustment options on the hinges or other tips I should be aware of? The chest of drawers is completely level, ruling out assembly errors with the side panels. I am looking for a detailed guide or a step-by-step approach to correct this, in order to prevent further damage.
Thanks to everyone for all the tips and advice. Especially the recommendation to remove the door completely and check the hinges was very helpful. In the end, I ordered a replacement hinge and was able to replace the original door, which was clearly bent. Also, the iterative adjustment of the three screws has now allowed the doors to sit straight. I believe you just have to proceed systematically and not underestimate the impact of small tolerances. This thread has been very helpful for that.
