My BESTÅ doors/drawer fronts are not aligned with each other, what should I do?
If your doors or drawer fronts are not aligned with each other, you can adjust them by tightening the hinges for the doors or the drawer rails for the drawer fronts. The adjustment ensures that the doors and drawer fronts are at the correct height and position, which can be done both up, down, to the right, and to the left, depending on which part needs fine-tuning.
Door with hinges
If your doors or drawer fronts are not aligned, you can easily adjust them by tightening the hinges or drawer rails. For uneven doors, make the adjustment on the hinges attached inside the cabinet. Here, you can adjust the doors vertically and horizontally as well as regulate how close the door should be to the cabinet to get it in the correct position.
You can find the instructions here.
Drawer Front with Drawer Rails
When it comes to drawer fronts that are not aligned, the adjustment is made by tightening the drawer rails. You can only adjust the drawer fronts vertically to get them into the correct position. Both adjustments are easy to make, and you can follow the instructions to ensure that the doors and drawer fronts are properly installed and adjusted.
