- Side to side to set the gap between two doors.
Which screw does what
The screws sit in slightly different spots on framed and frameless hinges. The moves are the same.
Framed cabinet hinges

Not sure which hinge you have? Check whether your cabinets have a wooden frame around the front. Framed cabinets have one, frameless cabinets do not. The Hinge Offset Guidelines and the Hinge Restrictor Guide cover the rest of the hinge setup.
