What am I doing wrong that my kitchen cabinet doors are rebelling? Did I anger someone who has cursed me? Have I not been kind to them? Have I not occasionally swiped them with a wet rag when I notice that they are turning brown? I’ve got another one that refuses to close, and since the garbage is behind this one, I don’t think we can implement the Open Door policy. Grrrrrrrr.
Kitt says
A magnet closure would fix that.
Peggy says
Excellent idea! I say go with that. Or super glue it shut.
Annette says
Take the trash out?
Brad says
Maybe it’s all the rats going in and out. Get some traps already!
Beth says
You could get a kid lock. Then everytime you tried to OPEN it you’d cuss and spit.
Karla says
I was thinking the exact same thing!
Deanne says
Did you try adjusting the hinges? I think there’s some kind of screw you can tighten and loosen that helps to balance them. I’ll have to post a pic of my cupboard door that doesn’t close… for entirely different reasons!
Rae says
Block the house up on the opposite side so that the kitchen tilts back -- thus keeping the door closed. 🙂
Lloyd says
This is my favorite idea (I mean, about the door, not my favorite idea ever).
Mark says
Try putting a solid straight edge up against the top and bottom edges of the door, running from the handle side to the hinge side. Is the door warped/curved?
If not, I would suspect the hinges are either coming loose, or have gone out of adjustment (if adjustable), or need cleaning/some oil.
Lauren says
Yeah, they’re adjustable, but that involves trial and error to fix it. I’m really good at ‘error’, but ‘trial’ is not my strong suit.
Mark says
The other thing I just thought of is that a latch on one of our cabinet doors came loose and wouldn’t hold the little grabber plate on the cabinet frame.
