Kitchen Cupboard 'european' Door Hinges

[Barquentine]

You know those adjustable door hinges on cupboards..sometimes called 'European' hinges, does anyone know how to adjust them to make the door stay open. Mine keeps swinging shut and I've tried all three sets of screws - the up/down; back/forward and side-to-side screws. None seem to make it stay open when you want it open. All the other doors in the kitchen are fine. Thanks.

Sounds more like your cupboard isn't upright. I can't say that I've ever found the hinge adjustments have any effect on this.
Doors are quite heavy. It wouldn't take too much to create this problem.

Is this a problem which has arisen since your kitchen units were fitted.? If so, I think you need a new set of hinges.

I had the opposite problem....door wouldn't stay shut, so I fixed new hinges.

Our kitchen cupboard doors do not close level so look scruffy - can hinges be adjusted? If so, how please? Ours are the kind that sometimes "lift" off accidentally and have to be snapped back into place.
