GOLDERS GREEN IN PRACTICE
Compare the uneven front with the cupboards beside it
Cupboards and drawers that work as intended.
For a Golders Green home, include the surrounding cabinet so the alignment can be understood. A replacement fitting needs to suit the panel and existing holes rather than simply match the colour of the original.
One cupboard door sitting low may have a local hinge problem, while several misaligned fronts can point to a wider cabinet issue. Show the neighbouring fronts, not just the visibly uneven edge.
The fixing plate needs sound material behind it. Record worn holes or broken panel edges before ordering a hinge chosen only for its colour or apparent shape.

BUILD A REALISTIC LIST
Choose the affected fronts and drawers
Select the relevant furniture tasks and label the affected fronts. This list helps an enquiry; it does not diagnose hinge failure or confirm available replacement hardware.
DIY or call a handyman?
| Situation | A practical next step |
|---|---|
| Familiar task | Observe the gaps without removing an unstable cupboard front. |
| Multiple or awkward jobs | Photograph each affected hinge rather than assuming all use the same pattern. |
| Uncertain mounting | A torn mounting point may not respond to another adjustment. |
| Regulated or specialist work | Keep lock mechanisms securing the property outside cabinet-hinge work. |

THE DETAILS OF YOUR VISIT
Golders Green: planning the handyman appointment
Why photograph neighbouring cupboard doors?
Their alignment gives context that a close-up of one hinge cannot provide.
Can an uneven door always be adjusted?
No. Worn hardware or damaged supporting panels may require a different solution.
Should I buy a hinge with the same finish?
Finish alone is insufficient; the mechanism, dimensions and fixing arrangement must match.
What if two doors started rubbing together?
Describe when it began and show the whole cabinet, rather than assuming each hinge needs replacement.
Can damaged fixing holes be ignored with a new plate?
No. The condition of the supporting panel is part of deciding an appropriate repair.
Do I need to empty every cupboard?
Clarify the required work area and affected units; preparation should match the agreed tasks.
Can a missing handle join the hinge repair?
Include its dimensions and condition so the additional fitting can be assessed and quoted.
Will a replacement match every existing front?
State appearance requirements, but compatible part availability must be confirmed.
What if the cabinet itself is out of shape?
A wider furniture repair or replacement scope may be needed instead of isolated hardware adjustment.
