How to Measure and Fit Concealed Cabinet Door Hinges

If the cup recess is set at the standard 22mm or so in from the edge of the door the mounting plate will need to be raised around 8mm off of the inner side of the unit. A thin 8mm piece of door stop is ideal for this. There are removable corner inserts, so the Ryobi jig can be used for round- or square-cornered hinges (though the latter will still need finishing manually with a chisel). A high-quality router bit is included, as is a self-centering drill bit for making the actual hinge holes. Both bits are conveniently stored onboard the jig body. I’m going to test a board, but I think the female portion of the hinge needs to go in deeper than the 20mm for corner cabinets. Use the tables below to work out how many hinges you will need to install to the cabinet door you are fitting to ensure it opens and closes correctly and more importantly doesn’t sag.p.s. I answered in a hurry and now I wonder if I misunderstood! Were you asking if the hinge position is 48mm down from the door or the cabinet? Well, I measured from the cabinet, so it might be one or two mm’s less for the door if it’s a little smaller… If you do need to make any position adjustments to you hinge see our project here that covers how to adjust concealed hinges and kitchen cupboard doors for full details. Cabinet hinge jigs almost always include the Forstner bit required to drill the flat-bottomed hole for the main body of the hinge. They may also include a smaller drill for the retaining screws.

Firstly, measure and mark the same distance down from the top of the inside of your cabinet that you previously marked on the door for the top hinge, normally this is around 85-100mm. Hi Marco, there are no templates as the holes are drilled by machine in the factory obviously. I’d just fit the cabinet part of the hinge into the cabinet and then hold the door up against the cabinet and mark the center of the hinge onto the door. Then you should be able to use the measurements in the post above to get the exact place for the hole. You can be a fraction out and still be okay as there is of course some adjustment in the hinge itself.Mounting plate fixings: The mounting plate is screwed to the cabinet framework or carcass through the fixing holes. The holes are elongated slightly allowing for upward and downward adjustment The next task is to measure and mark the positions using a pencil of each mounting plate on the inside of the cupboard or unit you are fixing your door to.

Hinge: The hinge section as you may guess pivots allowing the door to open and close. It also attaches the hinge cup to the mounting plate However, if you are thinking of hanging particularly heavy doors e.g. 10kg plus you should consider using specialist heavy duty concealed hinges.

These jigs can be helpful to you when you planning to fit a couple of concealed (Euro-style) hinges for the inset cabinet doors. Almost correct Khaled! But I measured 48mm on the cabinet so I think the 1.5mm should come off the measurement on the doors. Thanks so much for the heads up, I’ve updated the post to make that clearer. This is what you need to do the job. Align the point on your centre mark and start the drill slowly pushing firmly down. When you see it start to cut the 35mm hole and it's gone in a couple of mm, go to quite a high speed, keeping firm downward pressure and keep the drill straight without leaning one way or another. Kreg, one of the world’s leading jig makers, does not disappoint with this high-quality precision cabinet door hinge jig. It is made from tough glass-filled nylon and designed to cut holes for standard 35mm cabinet hinges (often called Euro hinges). There are several different ways that a cabinet door can be fitted to a unit and although this doesn’t necessarily make any difference to the type of concealed hinge you use it does make a difference to the way it is positioned and mounted on the inside of the cabinet.

Self Centering Bits: After carefully drilling or routing your hinges, you’ll need perfectly centered hinge holes with a vix bit set. A heavy door (often called a solid core door) should have a minimum of three hinges to spread the load and prevent it from dropping. In extreme cases, such as large oak external doors, four hinges may be necessary. Q. What kind of router do I need for door hinges?As you are sliding it in place ensure all the others also line up with their respective mounting plates. If the door you are using is particularly heavy it’s a good idea to get some help fitting it to avoid any disasters.
