How To Pack Armoires and Cabinets

Armoires and cabinets are heavy furniture and although they are quite sturdy in comparison to other household items, a certain amount of consideration still goes into packing them properly when moving into a new house.
  1. Detach the loose or movable components. Armoires and cabinets could have drawers and shelves that are not permanently fixed. These parts could easily slide and fall off when moving and lifting the whole piece of furniture around, damaging the part itself, the furniture or other items stored beside it. Consider detaching these components and packing them separately in a plastic bag. Just be sure to label it properly so you know which shelf or drawer goes into which armoire or cabinet. These types of furniture could also have glass doors. In this case you'll have no choice but to remove and pack them in the same way you would pack mirrors. Be especially careful in removing the screws and hinges and storing these in small plastic bags. Again label these plastic bags properly so that you know which screws and hinges go with which piece of furniture.
  2. Consider using shrink wrap or other ways to secure or seal drawers and doors.Shrink wrap is recommended because it effectively seals the whole piece of furniture and secures its drawers and doors from accidentally sliding or swinging open during moving. An alternative method is to use twine. If the doors or drawers have locks then using those would be so much better. Most people don't recommend using packing tape or any other tape. The adhesive could stain the wood surface and it might prove too hard to remove without damaging the wood. This is especially true for antique armoires and cabinets.
  3. Utilize furniture padding. This is standard procedure for moving any type of furniture. It's to protect the corners and edges from getting scratched or chipped. Furniture padding also blunts these possibly sharp edges thus protecting other items that may be stored beside it in the moving van.
  4. Consider using the armoire or cabinet as a packing container. If the piece of furniture isn't too heavy and the drawers and doors don't need to be detached because they can be safely sealed or locked, you might want to take advantage of the space they provide for packing. You can pack clothing, curtains, linen or any other clothing items inside their compartments. You can attempt to put small household items in the drawers just make sure their packed tight and padded with clothing so that they don't damage the drawer or wiggle around and break.
Although bulk and weight is the bigger consideration when packing heavy furniture, these items still have fragile components. Furniture won't easily break but their wooden surfaces - which are part of the value of furniture - can be scratched and stained.

How To Adjust Hinges on Cabinets

When installing new cabinets, door hinges must be adjusted to make the cabinet doors fit properly and work smoothly.  Over time, older cabinet door hinges will allow the doors to become uneven and sag.  Both instances can be corrected with little or no expertise using simple tools.
There are two common types of cabinet door hinges.  The flat cabinet door hinge can be attributed to older cabinet types.  This hinge has screws inside the door and screws inside the cabinet or screws on the exterior of the face of the cabinet, with a closing mechanism.  The hinge will be exposed to the exterior of the cabinet door.
The European style cabinet door hinges have a bar of metal with two screws attached to a plate inside the cabinet.  A bar snaps into a smaller plate attached to the interior of the cabinet door.  These types of door hinges are completely concealed from the outside.
Adjusting Flat Cabinet Door Hinges
Although the flat cabinet door hinge is the easiest to adjust, it restricts adjustment to up, down, or side to side.  With a screwdriver, slightly loosen the screws on the cabinet face, or the screws on the interior of the cabinet, at the top and the bottom of the door.
Using a tool that will not harm or damage the cabinet door surface, (such as a rubber mallet) slightly tap the door in the direction of the necessary adjustment.  Once the door has been aligned, retighten the screws. Continue working with other cabinet doors to correct misalignments.
Adjusting European Style Hinges
The European cabinet door hinges allow for depth of door placement, as well as up, down and side to side.  Depth of door placement is important since the door hinge is concealed from view.
Looking at the hinge plate mounted on the interior of the cabinet, there should be two screws attaching the plate to the cabinet.  First, try tightening these two screws to see if the misalignment is corrected.
There are two door hinge adjustment screws on the bar mounted inside the cabinet.  The rear screw allows you to bring the cabinet door into line with the vertical surface of the kitchen cabinet.
The front adjustment screw allows for adjusting up and down as well as side-to-side.
Continue working with adjustments on the cabinet door hinges until the cabinet doors are properly aligned and hanging straight both horizontally and vertically.
