Handmade kitchens direct

3 replies

We've just had our kitchen installed and lots of the doors are dropping already. This means that they are jamming before it's even painted.

Has anyone had any experience of this and what did you do?


The builder says the hinges are not strong enough to hold the doors. Not sure whether this is right or not and when I spoke to handmade kitchens direct they said they have never had a problem with the hinges!!

Any advice would be v welcome.

Christmas greetings to all!!

you do get different quality of door hinges, never used handmade kitchens direct so no idea what theirs are like though.

Who fitted it? What do you know about their skill and experience?

Kitchen hinges are adjustable.

What brand name is on the hinges? (You may need a magnifying glass).

What are the doors made of? Are they going trapezoid?

Well, the doors all came pre fitted and they weren't dropping when we received them but started just a couple of days after.
We've measured the doors and it seems like they are the sane measurement from corner to corner so it's not like they don't fit the frame.
I'll have a look at the hinges and see what the brand name is.
Thx for suggestions.
