INSTALLATION TROUBLESHOOTING SCENARIOS

Likely incorrect hinge plate height or misaligned damper.
Overlay setting or hinge position may need adjusting.
Uneven slide screws or incorrect cabinet depth can cause misalignment.
Record a video showing hinge movement; IPSA will identify if it’s installation or product-related.
Possible activator misalignment or wood swelling affecting door angle.
Too much resistance; adjust the hinge depth screw.
The cabinet is not square; adjust left and right clearance.
Improper tightening of the through-screws or spindle misalignment.
Check strike plate alignment; adjust up/down as needed.
Remove drawer, clean rails, tighten screws, and reinstall.
Cup depth must be 12mm and perfectly round; mis-drilled cups cause misalignment.
Insufficient hinges for door height or loose screws.
After lamination for precise drilling and to avoid measurement errors.
Yes. Wrong screw length can obstruct rail travel.
Yes. IPSA can guide based on clear video sent by customers.
