Set the bottom so that the door is evenly spaced from each side. Then  
loosen the top screw and move bracket over until doors are even. It  
sometimes takes a bit of playing with to get it just right.

back & forth until the door closes how you like it in the middle. Don't  
pay attention to the ''crack'' showing at the walls on the sides, except  
make the gap even on both sides to match. People don't notice the gap at  
the sides like they notice how the doors fit together in the middle.
