Default Cabinet hinges...

....Hello again everyone....before I lose any fingers, is there a way to snug these overhead cabinet hinges so they don't slam on the fingers, or head when in the "up" position?? I'm sure we all know the last two doors do not go up all the way to lock the hinges because of the AC, my don't anyway. I really don't want to try and tighten something up without some knowledge ahead of time. How available are these hinges anyway if needed? Thanks!...by the way, it's a 2016 Roadtrek

I was able to adjust these hinges to solve the problem of not being sticky - or slamming on my fingers. I have some hex "wrenches" (really T-shapes tools) that are in metric sizes (3/4/5 mm)

I am not near my shop or camper right now. If you need more description of pictures, I can get them in about 10 days.

Default Be Careful

I have adjusted the hinges by tightening them, but I have had to replace a couple when I over-tightened them. Be gentle and tighten only as much as necessary.
