How to Adjust Brass Cabinet Hinges

European hinges, also known as grass hinges, are adjustable without removing the hinge from the door. These hinges, which can be made of brass, are adjustable in three different dimensions – either side-to-side, front to back or up and down. In order to move the hinges you have to undo the screw that corresponds with how you want to move the cabinet door.
