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.
A magnet closure would fix that.
Excellent idea! I say go with that. Or super glue it shut.
Take the trash out?
Maybe it’s all the rats going in and out. Get some traps already!
You could get a kid lock. Then everytime you tried to OPEN it you’d cuss and spit.
I was thinking the exact same thing!
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!
Block the house up on the opposite side so that the kitchen tilts back – thus keeping the door closed. 🙂
This is my favorite idea (I mean, about the door, not my favorite idea ever).
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.
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.
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.
