Modifying A Hinge

I have the Varde Glass Door Wall Cabinet (the one with two panels that are hinged together). The problem is that it requires such a great force to push the two panels up to open the cabinet. Is there a way to adjust the hinge of the two panels to lessen the resistance/amont of force needed?

Sorry no one has posted a solution for you. I am not as familiar with the Varde line, but I assume they still use Blum hardware for the hinges? If so, you may be able to get replacement (or even alternative) hinges from Blum and modify the cabinet doors to accept them. I recently got new Blum 120deg hinges for my base cabinet doors so I could have the new Blumotion for doors that just came out. I had a bit of trouble getting them to fit at first, but all is well now and I'm really enjoying them.

I don't know if there is a Blumotion for hinged glass doors, or if that would even help you, but that's the only thing I can think of right now.

Best,
Neil
