Purchased 4-36x90x24 pantry cabinets, Prelude Thorp white, laminate doors. Before installation all plywood boxes were checked for square, quality finish, face frame integrity, laminate door finish,square, straight edge.
Doors had minimal deflection, face frames bowed inward at bottom, photos available. This bowing constricted the hinge up/down adjustment. One hinge guide lugs were misaligned, actually embedded in face of frame. Mounting screw holes were stripped, screws failed to tighten. Doors were removed prior to cabinet installation, hinges remained on doors. Door installation required force to connect bottom hinge due to bowed face frame. One hinge pocket hole was mis-aligned, drilled at very edge of door, penetrating edge banding, see photo. This hinge could not be installed. After 40 years of cabinet design and installation, I must say this product left a lot to be desired, especially in workmanship and quality control.
