These corner cabinets are the most complex doors and hinges to adjust in the kitchen... unless you are systematical about it! Let me show you how it's done.
I think 'systematical' is a word?
Either way, we need to rule out the basics first. Bent, broken, loose hinges, or something jamming it from shutting properly.
No? Then we can get into some adjustments. Here's a tip, get the Bifold hinges adjusted first where the 2 doors meet. then we will move in to the cabinet to door hinge second, it makes life so much easier.
The below are affiliate links. I get a small percentage when you buy using these links. It does not cost you anything extra, but helps supports the channel. Thanks!
Adjusting screws? The screws that look like stars, like Phillips but different? they are Pozi-driv screws, don't strip the screws - you should really use a Pozi-drive screwdriver like one of these amzn.to/2XbJtAU Or an interchangeable screwdriver bit set amzn.to/3k0NJeV

When buying, make sure to choose the right style, either face frame or frameless. and 1/4, 1/2 or full overlay.
These are Blum 170 Degree hinges to suit Face Frame cabinets (US style) amzn.to/38W99U0
eBay US; 'Hardware Brand' ebay.us/UGY73b and 'Blum' ebay.us/e9Ff8Q for face frame
This frameless style is more common in UK and Australia;
'Blum' ebay.us/17RFO4 or 'Unbranded' ebay.us/EmSZRv

Thank you! My husband is a wonderful man who probably knows how to fix this but does not care that my cabinets are not as I prefer them. His answer to me is that he does not know how to fix my cabinets. So, I would like to thank your wife too! Not only have you taught me to fix this myself, but you are very nice to learn from! enjoy your day!

You're a genius. You explained that so well and showed the movement of the door as well (I wouldn't have got it without seeing the door movement), that I fixed my door while waiting for dinner to cook!!! FYI when adjusting door 1 to stop the sag in door 2, I had to screw in the opposite direction. Thank you so much.

Good overview... but that scratched up cabinet door next to the corner cabinet drives me nuts. A major downfall of those corner doors and I see it all the time. Put a few strategic quality rubber bumpers on the insides of the corner cabinet doors to stop it from happening.
