Hello everyone, I am currently facing an issue where the doors of my IKEA Hemnes wardrobe do not close properly. Specifically, when I close the doors, they either remain slightly open or do not align flush with the frame, which creates noticeable resistance when closing. I have already checked the hinges; they are not loose and all screws are tight, but the adjustment doesn’t seem to be quite right. I am especially interested in understanding what typically causes this issue—whether it could be due to the material (such as warping from moisture or twisted doors) or if it can be quickly fixed through hinge adjustments. Does anyone have experience with this or can offer advice on which hinge adjustment options I should check to ensure the doors close smoothly? Thanks in advance.

I’m also interested to know if there are common mistakes to watch out for when reinstalling doors. That’s an important question! I once had the problem that I didn’t align the hinges perfectly when putting the door back in. The door ended up hanging crooked, and I got quite frustrated because at first I thought I had damaged something.
My advice: Take your time, listen carefully for the clicking sounds, and if the doors still don’t close properly, remove them again and check the hinges. That’s very reassuring. I know it can be frustrating sometimes, but it gets easier with each attempt! Also, it helps to take a short break now and then and avoid rushing.
