Double door wall cabinet door placement

On a wall cabinet with double doors, the doors are supposed to "kiss" each other in the middle, where the two doors meet, right?

When my doors meet in the middle, that leaves a small space on both sides of the outside of the 2-door set that does not cover the cabinet box.

Is that the way it is supposed to be?

Thank you very much!

Re: Double door wall cabinet door placement

When we had this problem we needed to adjust our hinges to close the gap. We still haven't perfected one of our doors but it's on the to-do list!

Re: Double door wall cabinet door placement

Thanks, Stacylu. I am using the instructions from the tutorial to adjust the door hinges.

BUT the doors themselves, when place so that they meet in the middle, are not wide enough to cover the entire cabinet box. They are the correct doors.

Are the doors supposed to cover the entire outside frame of the cabinet?

If so, maybe I have defective doors in that they are not wide enough (across, horizontally) to do so.

I'd be much obliged if you could let me know what you think.

Thank you very much!

Re: Double door wall cabinet door placement

Mine have a tiny (less than 1/4 inch) gap...they don't actually meet.
