I bought 270 degree hinges from Rockler so I assume they are okay.
When I installedl them on the first door of a cabinet, the door did
not want to close all the way easily.

Did they come with paper directions on how to adjust them? Assuming that the
hinges are installed properly and the door is of proper size, I'd loosen up
all the screws a bit on the hinges and then see if the door could be placed
properly. If so, start gradually tightening them up keeping note of how
screw adjustment changes the position of the door. 270° hinges can be
adjusted on 3 planes. (up and down, in and out, squareness). Keep in mind
that these adjustments are magnified by the fact that there's at least two
hinges installed.
No instructions. The hinges are built with a plate that is bent 90 degrees and wraps around the side of the cabinet. two screws go into the face of the cabinet side and two screws go into the inside surface of the cabinet side. There is no way to adjust anything. The side of the cabinet are exactly 3/4 inch in thickness as called for... I just don't see where the problem is and thought maybe someone else had the same problem at some time. Firt time I have ever used a 270 hinge.
