Just re-painted the cupboard doors and cupboar's. Bought new flush type hinges and rea-assembled everyhitng. 2 doors stay open about 1' and the other door wont even close(swings open by itself) any help on getting these doors to close properly would be a greatly appreciated. Thanks

try putting a piece of cardboard between the cupboard and the hinge.

Another problem may be screw bound which means screw heads are too big which may bind hinges. Make sure correct size of screw is used for hinge. It must not protrude.
