Hinges will not close flush?
I added some 3/4 plywood doors to these steel cabinets.
Unfortunately, I think the screw heads prevent the doors from closing. I’ve used both flat screws and round head/ sheet metal screws but it seems as if the hinge joint (?) itself is too shallow.
-The first screw came with the hinge.
-The second screw I added bc it seemed better.
-The third screw was on the original steel door.
I currently have the 2nd screw in the plywood and the 3rd screw in the cabinet.
Is it the screw heads and I need flatter screws?
Do you have alternatives/ recommendations?
Is the hinge joint itself too small?
Honesty is appreciated more than politeness.
