How do I install concealed hinges for my cabinet doors?
Installing concealed hinges for cabinet doors can be easily accomplished with a bit of skill and the right tools. Below you will find step-by-step instructions on how to proceed.
Step 1 - Measuring and Marking:
- First, measure exactly where the hinge should be placed on the inside of the cabinet door. Mark the spot with a pencil.
Step 2 - Drilling Holes:
- Now drill a hole precisely at the marked spot using a Forstner bit. The hole should be deep enough for the hinge to sit flush with the door.
Step 3 - Inserting the Hinge:
- Insert the hinge into the drilled hole and press it in firmly so that it sits flush with the surface of the door.
Step 4 - Securing the Hinge:
- Screw the hinge in place. Make sure the screws are tightened securely so the hinge holds firmly and the door is properly aligned.
Step 5 - Hanging the Door:
- You can now attach the door to the cabinet using the new hinges. Then check whether everything fits and the door moves smoothly.
Remember to make adjustments if necessary to ensure that your cabinet doors function correctly.
