Do your IKEA BESTA doors not seem to be lining up correctly? This can be a frustrating problem to solve, but with a little bit of troubleshooting, you should be able to fix the issue in no time. In this blog post, we will discuss some common causes of this problem and provide some solutions that should help you get your doors aligned properly.
How To Fix IKEA BESTA Doors Not Lining Up?
Common reasons why the doors don’t align include:
- The hinges were not installed correctly
- The door frame is warped
- The doors are the wrong size for the opening
- You’re not following the assembling instructions correctly
- Make sure you’re not missing an assembly part
Here’s how you troubleshoot these issues and solve the problem:
- The Hinges Are Not Installed Correctly
Ensure the hinges are aligned correctly; otherwise, the doors will not align properly. To fix this, you must remove the doors and reinstall the hinges. Make sure that you follow the instructions carefully and that you use the correct screws. At times the hinges may be placed in an incorrect position that interferes with the normal closure of the doors.
- The Door Frame is Warped
Remove all door frame wrappings; otherwise, the doors will not align properly. To fix this, you must remove the doors and straighten the frame. Use a level or a ruler. Once the frame is straight, you can reattach the doors, which should align properly.
- The Doors Are The Wrong Size For The Opening
If the doors are the wrong size for the opening, they will not align properly. To fix this, you must measure the opening and purchase doors that fit correctly. Make sure you measure twice to avoid buying new doors again.
- You’re Not Following The Assembling Instructions Correctly
If you’re not following the assembling instructions correctly, the doors will not align properly. Make sure you review the instructions and that you are doing everything correctly. Sometimes it can be helpful to watch a video of someone assembling the same piece of furniture to ensure that you are doing it correctly. Follow the assembly process and try not to skip any steps.
- Make Sure You’re Not Missing An Assembly Part
When you unbox the IKEA BESTA, you should first focus on ensuring you have all the parts. Read the detailed description and make sure you have everything you need before you start assembling. The doors will not align properly if you’re missing an assembly part. Identify the missing piece and install it to fix it. Make sure that you have all of the parts before you start assembling the furniture. Sometimes it can be helpful to review the instructions to ensure you have everything you need.
- Get a Replacement
You can consider contacting IKEA customer service, and they will help guide you on how to get a replacement. At times there’s a possibility that you might have received a faulty article, so instead of tiring yourself over reassembling the furniture piece repeatedly, reach out to customer care.
