Hello,

I am desperately trying to align the doors on my Metod base cabinets somewhat horizontally at the top edge, but I can't manage it (see photos, right side)... at least not with the adjustment screws on the Utrusta hinges (mounted on the left)... do you have to accept this fairly large play of about 8 mm from left to right, or are there other sources of error... according to the spirit level, the cabinet is actually quite horizontal and it hasn't been screwed to the wall yet... the doors aren't exactly light either, but if they only press down due to the weight, that would be poorly designed...

Right horizontal is bad, exactly horizontal is good.
Checked everywhere with the spirit level, also whether the edges are vertical?
Have you checked the inside bottom of the corpus for squareness?

what do you mean by right angle?

from front to back or from left to right

I actually only placed the spirit level at the top because it is quite long...

so you mean I definitely have to align the cabinet to get the door straight?

It is always a bit difficult to say when you are not right in front of it.

Perpendicularity of floor - side walls

My floor is unfortunately very uneven because it consists of large tiles... whenever the cabinet is level according to the [scale], one of the screw legs is hanging in the air... as soon as I screw this one down to the floor, the cabinet is no longer level. The walls are also crooked (old building), so I cannot align myself with them.
