Cabinet Hinge Adjustments

I cannot find any info on installation and adjustment of the internal cabinet hinges used on our 2013 Phaeton. It appears that there is only one screw holding the hinge to the cabinet - mine may be stripped out. There are also adjusting screws that I would like to understand their purpose. Mfg. and model number? I have included a couple pictures. The factory did not do a stellar job at aligning the cabinet doors and would like to correct if I can. Any help out there?

I have a 2003 Tiffin Bus and the hinges look close to the same. For stripped screw holes I use either wood match sticks or tooth picks depending on the size of the hole with a little wood glue on them.
After they dry I re drill the hole. You may have to do this if the original holes were too far off. Put your jacks down and make sure you are level before you start.

I have had a few that went bad already, basically they are junk, you can get them at Lowes etc for a few bucks....easier to replace them with better quality as they wear out. Just make sure you get the right ones, ours have a 1/2" offset, should be stamped on the hinge..
If I recall,one screw moves door laterally, the other moves the hinge side away from the cabinet frame . These do not have an up or down adjustment as I recall so if the doors are not aligned, you'll probably have to move the hinge..
