That screw usually adjusts the X,Y position of the door when it is closed
(tilt or how close it meets the other door, i.e. the gap). It usually does
not adjust the amount of closure angle.

The hinge is either broken (bent spring from being forced open too far) or
it is mounted too far into the cabnet. Try loosing the screws you weren't
takling about.

Hi, I have kitchen doors with those spring loaded adjustable type hinges.

One door will close O.K., but then springs open by about an inch and just
stays open. There are two 'adjustable' screws on these hinges. ( not
talking here about the screws that actually attach the hinge to the door
and to the cupboard frame).

Would someone kindly explain to a novice what is the procedure to adjust
these two 'adjustment' screws please, so the door stays fully shut. many
thanks.
