I pre-stress the hinges in case the knuckles are too tight in manufacturing, which can sometimes cause a springy front. The other cause is the screw heads bumping the edge of the Side. If that looks likely I stretch the hinge by putting a spacer in the way of the screws and closing the Front against the spacer. I may tap the barrel of the hinges lightly with a hammer a few times while the hinges are stretching to let the hinges know I really mean it. I would try the spacer trick first and make sure it’s not the screw heads before taking out the hinges to test for tight knuckles. |
