    How do i adjust h surface mount hinges or doors so the doors shut all the way? I put the hinges on a Shaker style cherrysideboard cabinet with four frame and raised panel doors. The doors don't close all the way, they stick out about 1/8 or 1/4 inch on the stile opposite the stile with the hinges. I've found a lot of advice on how to adjust mortise hinges so doors shut but none about h hinges. If I tighten the three screws on the case hinge, the door sticks out more. If I loosen the case screws the door shuts but the hinge is noticeably loose. Should I shim the hinges on the case with thin cardboard? Maybe the stile with the hinges touches the edge of the shelf inside, causing the door to jut out. Should i plane the shelf? I could use a spinner knob on each door to keep it shut or magnets for latches but I would rather avoid that. I've made only one other cabinet with a door and h hinges in pine and that door works fine. (I made that small cabinet for practice so I wouldn't have problems like this on the sideboard, my most complicated project so far!) I would be grateful for help!
