There is a wide gap between the doors that swing opposite from each other. Is this standard? It looks like a defect to me as you can see the contents

There is a screw to adjust the gap on the part of the hinge that attaches to the cabinet just barely loosen it so its moves with a little pressure then close doors adjust open doors tighten screw and it should work

I don't have gap on mine. The hinges have wiggle room but i recall adding some wedge type wood to make the close flush

We did not seem to have any problem when we assembled this door. Bothe panels fit tightly -- very well. Maybe you should try again (follow instruction), if still have problem, you should contact the manufacturer and get help from them. It might be a defect part that they can replace it for you, ...

Mine was not askew. I don't believe that to be "normal". The rear door, unlike the rest of the mailbox, is very lightweight and could get off center very easily. If it will not operate properly, and not easily fixed, I would return it.

Yes hinges are fine. We love this unit. I suppose you could put them side by side. I would suspect there would need to be a bit of a gap between the two to allow doors not to hit.

i have an issue with the middle door on mine, not with overlapping but i have tried and tried to get it to hang straight , even removed and reinstalled but it hangs crooked.

this item is surface mountedyour concern is whether or not there's a large enough gap between the door and the door frame

No. They kind of misrepresent the product. It's just the upper hinges for both doors. I took a gamble on this and came out very disappointed.

I actually did this...it works, however the outer sides have open space at the top and the center part where the doors meet have space as well. Other than that it works...Oh and my wife thinks I'm crazy because I did this.

could be. remove it and see if the door will close. if it does you may not have assemble it correctly.

The doors have the same holes on both sides, however, the hardware may need to be replaced with opposite pieces. The top and bottom pieces could be reversed easily. I'm not sure about the middle piece, between the doors.

If you haven't done anything yet, another solution would just be to add a bit of quarter round to cover the gap. Cut it with a mitre saw to get a nice sharp corner. Since this looks like it's on a door frame, do the same on the other side of the door and it will look intentional.

When we probably overpacked ours the front didn't line up perfect with it maybe riding up a half an inch but it wasn't open to where you could see inside. We drove with it that way without problems. I suspect you've got too much up front if you have an actual gap/opening or a defective top.

There is a very slight gap between my doors. If you adjust the hinges you can get it to where it is not noticed.

I have 2 doors. One lays flat against the wall. The other one doesn't so it's kind of in the way. But I think it is because my husband didn't install it correctly. Or the wall it's weird.

No, there should not be a gap. I would contact the seller and let them what's going on. I would read the reviews and product review before buying any item.

No there shouldn't be. The biggest gaps might be between roof and the sides but they are very small. Like maybe bugs? But we've had no problems since early spring installing it

I did not have a problem with the doors. On the hinges there are "set" screws. On one hinge, you adjust the screw for vertical fit; on the other hinge you adjust for horizontal fit. Hope this helps
