What tools do I need for the installation of concealed hinges?

The installation of concealed hinges requires some specific tools to ensure precise and secure fitting.

• Drill: You need a drill to bore the holes for the hinges in the door and the cabinet frame.
• Forstner bit: A Forstner bit is used to drill the large, flat holes in which the concealed hinges sit. The size of the Forstner bit depends on the size of the hinge.
• Screwdriver: A screwdriver is needed to fasten the hinges to the door and the cabinet.
• Measuring tape and pencil: You need these tools to make accurate marks for the hinge positions.
• Plumb line: A plumb line (or spirit level) is helpful to ensure the hinges are mounted straight.
• Clamping pliers or clamp: These can be useful for holding the door in position while you work.

You should always follow the specific instructions provided by the manufacturer of the hinges you purchased, as additional or alternative tools may be required.
