How do you install mortise hinges?

The installation of concealed hinges is a relatively simple process and can also be carried out by DIYers without extensive experience. The following steps should be followed:

• Preparation: Get the correct size of concealed hinges and a suitable Forstner bit. Measure carefully to determine the correct position for the hinges on the door and the frame marking.
• Drilling: Use the Forstner bit to drill a recess into the door into which the hinge will be fitted. Pay attention to the correct depth according to the hinge specifications to allow a flush fit.
• Insertion: Insert the concealed hinge into the drilled recess and make sure it sits flush with the door.
• Fastening: Then use screws to secure the hinge to the door. Repeat the steps on the frame side, making sure that the hinge and frame align.
• Adjustment: After the hinges and the door have been installed, you can adjust the hinges. This ensures that the door sits properly and opens and closes smoothly.

With patience and care, you can achieve a high-quality result that ensures a long service life for your doors.
