Which tools are needed to install mortise hinges?

To install concealed hinges, you need special tools to make the process smooth and efficient. The required tools are:

  • A Forstner bit: This special drill bit is needed to drill holes in doors or cabinet doors into which the concealed hinges are fitted. The size of the Forstner bit should match the size of the hinge.
  • A screwdriver: A Phillips screwdriver is important for tightening the hinge screws. In some cases, a Torx screwdriver may also be necessary, depending on the type of screws supplied with the hinges.
  • A measuring tape or folding rule: This tool is needed to determine the exact position for the hinges on the door and the door frame.
  • Pencil: A pencil is used to mark the positions of the hinges and the drill holes.

With these tools and clear instructions, installing concealed hinges should not present any major difficulties.
