Hello everyone, I recently installed a kitchen with Ikea Metod cabinets, but some of the doors are not closing properly. Specifically, some doors either stay too far open or do not align flush with the cabinet frame. I followed the assembly instructions as precisely as possible, but even after multiple adjustments of the hinges, the issue remains. Does anyone have experience with reliably positioning Metod doors when there are closing problems? What steps are effective to avoid issues such as warping, misaligned doors, or uneven gaps? I would appreciate detailed tips, including suitable hinge adjustments or further inspection methods. Thank you in advance!

If the door doesn’t close properly, the soft-close mechanism might be the cause.Exactly, that’s often the case. The dampers can be a bit tricky to adjust since they are mounted in a plastic bracket. It’s important not to bend them too much, but still make slight position changes to fine-tune the closing movement. Often, just a millimeter more or less of preload can help the door latch smoothly. I would recommend fully opening the doors before adjusting the damper so the spring action aligns precisely with the opening angle.
