Default Gap to be expected?

Sam,

Thanks for the video. Yes, the gap is huge and unacceptable. There are
adjusting screws on the hinges. Have you tried these adjustments? If the
adjustment has "maxed out" and you still have a large gap then he may have
not mounted the hinges in the correct places. There are jigs to locate the
holes for these sorts of hinges.


Or he may not have used the proper mount for the setback and thickness
of face frame...not possible to tell w/o knowing the answers to the
questions asked above as well as dimensions...

But obviously adjustment is first step and if they're appropriate and
mounted correctly the door can be aligned properly as well (unless it's
out of square or plane or somesuch which given the looks of the rest is
also a reasonable probability...
