Can you adjust concealed cabinet door hinges?

• <div><p>Concealed cabinet hinges stay entirely hidden when the cabinet door is closed. These are sometimes called European-style hinges, but they can be found on all types of cabinets, including many popular home styles. That’s good news when you want to make cabinet adjustments: Concealed door hinges are even more likely to come with adjustment screws to alter the hinge until the door is in the right place. </p></div>

Q: How do you adjust the tension on self-closing cabinet hinges?

• <div><p>To adjust the tension on self-closing cabinet hinges, locate the adjustment screws on the hinge. Typically, there are two screws: one for vertical and one for horizontal adjustments. Grab a screwdriver to adjust the tension screw. You must turn it clockwise to increase tension or counterclockwise to decrease it. Make minor adjustments and test the door's movement until it closes smoothly and securely.</p></div>

Q: What are the three grades of cabinets?

• <div><p>Cabinets come in three grades: stock, semi-stock, and custom. Stock cabinets are those purchased premade from the factory. In contrast, semi-stock models are partially assembled at the factory but allow some customization with things like finish, color, and hardware. Custom cabinets are wholly unique and designed to meet a particular homeowner&rsquo;s specifications in terms of materials, size, and appearance. </p></div>

Q: How thick should plywood be for shelves?

• <div><p>To successfully <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-build-shelf-unit.htm">build a shelf unit</a> with plywood, you&rsquo;ll need sheets that are at least 0.25 inches thick. Any thinner and your shelves will be flimsy and less likely to last. Expect to pay around $300 for a professional to build a basic shelving unit, or up to $1,300 for custom built-in shelves.</p></div>

"Absolutely zero accountability exhibited by this company. Not only were cabinets delivered of the wrong dimension, they were also missing specifications that we talked in length about (no bead board backing and soft close hinges until I pointed them out as misses). New cabinets had to be made which extended the duration of the project which I the general contractor had to absorb financial repercussions for with ZERO compensation from them to help right the expenditures of the project. After second cabinets were made, they were rushed (which was shown in the finished product such as blown out nails, mis aligned face frame etc.) and still a critical aspect of the design were flagrantly missed. Pictures detail the work. Face frame needed to be tucked into a groove in the stone work which was explicitly detailed from the outset of the project. This company is quick to send an invoice, even before the product is fully installed but plays the finger point game for days/weeks without any haste for a solution besides threatening to lein my customers home. Clients had to compromise on a horrible experience with this company plus all of the aspects of poor execution while no compensation was offered what so ever. CECC still charged full price and asserted they do great work and that without sending anyone to even set eyes on the project they were fully preparing to execute a lein for non payment. PLEASE AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS"

MDF is more affordable than wood. You can buy MDF for as low as one-quarter of the wood price.
MDF is a smooth surface with no knots or woodgrain, which makes it easier to finish and cut with a saw.
MDF is a standard choice for shelving and trim.
Unlike MDF, solid wood isn't the best option for cabinets or drawers. It can shrink, crack, or bend in response to changes in temperature and humidity, while MDF has a high moisture and fire resistance level and is less likely to break or warp.
