I'm sure there's a simple solution to our problem...but we just don't know it!
I'd greatly appreciate anyone's advice. Thank you!

- Cabinet door won't shut!
My husband and I refinished a bathroom vanity. It turned out beautiful except for one annoying thing...one of the doors will not stay completely shut! It only hangs open a tiny bit, maybe by a 1/8-1/4", but it ruins the entire look. We, of course, had removed the doors to refinish and we replaced all of the hardware: new hinges and handles.
Is it open equally from top to bottom of the door? If not, then the door is probably warped. Otherwise, it's likely that the position of the hinges is the culprit. Some hinges are adjustable. If you don't have adjustable hinges, you can still do things to solve the problem. Try placing a very thin shim under the hinges (on the base side, not the door side). You might have to experiment to get it just right. Good luck.
