If your hinge model has an adjustment tab, there should be a large gap between the tab and the hinge itself. This gap should be at least 0. 5 centimetres (0. 20 in) wide.
The vast majority of hinged doors will be using this setting. [8] X Research source Note that this is the factory setting for most cabinets with adjustment levers.
