How to Fit Perfect Door Hinges

[@FknNefFy]

It’s so perfect, yet something most people wouldn’t even notice- let alone appreciate. maybe I’m a weirdo, but I thoroughly appreciate it and this video🤓

[@ProperDIY]

It depends on the person. Those who see it and appreciate it prob know how difficult it is!

[@nickybritain4900]

I’ve fitted a few hinges during my DIY lifetime but I’ve never known the exact recommended positions or in deed the correct way round to put the hinge, 3 pivots to the frame and 2 to the door. My fittings have been random up to now! I also won’t be sharpening my pencil any more!

[@carljames9351]

You actually know that it’s a joiner who hangs doors not a “professional carpenter “. A carpenter does carcassing, first fix, roofing etc aka roughings in Scotland. The hinge set out on a standard 1981 or 2000 6ft6 is 7 inch from top, 9 inch from bottom with some regional variations… never 4 1/2 inch. I could go on, sorry.

[@motormouthalmighty]

blimey.i fitted some door hinges today,I just banged it any old way,like a first year novice at kindergarten school!every time that I fit door hinges,half the door splits down the middle!

[@edthompson9337]

​@@carljames9351It depends what part of the country you are in, Midlands and down south a carpenter works on site, a joiner works in a joinery workshop. Always 6" from the top and 9" from the bottom around here!

[@carljames9351]

@@edthompson9337 carpentry is defined in RIBA specifications, RICS methods of measurement etc. carpentry is what they refer to in Scotland as roughings. I don't dispute that regions tradesmen may call things slightly different but the terminology and what it covers is quite clearly specified. Interestingly I spent the start of my apprenticeship at wimpeys training school in Birmingham. It was 44 years ago so my memory may fail, but a couple of lads from the adjacent workshop called the site lads carpenters. Some parts of the country do hinge 6 and 11, we were taught 7 and 9. These ratios are similar to give the optical illusion they are equal dimensions from head height.

[@ProperDIY]

No problem

[@stevenjones1009]

Hi Stuart Good video. The hinge space at the top of the door can vary depending upon the age of the property that it is to be fitted into and also the type of door for example fire door will have a full specification on the hinge positioning and the type of furniture that can be fitted. But when I was an apprentice we were told the bottom hinge was to be fitted at 9inch up to avoid the hinge being splashed with water during rain etc and causing corrosion it also helps with access when you are chiselling them out👍👍

Going broke for nice materials that will last, i have these heavy hinges for the job....(never done hinge work before) wasn't confident at all on how to install the hinges until i watched your video. Working on it in the woods today, i need to remember that the door (i mean the lid//the roof) is the part i start with. Thank you again. i've been fretting this part of the shelter for EVERY DAY for the past month. Thanks :)

[@IdgieCrazyHorse-Stone]

i also plan to try filling my drill holes with glue also before i put in the screws. i think the glue not only "locks" the screws in place, but the glue may also absorb into the inner wood and create a stronger "sink-hole" to bear weight and such. Thank you again. You really took this fretting headache off my shoulders.

The hinge screws are find just hit the hinge with the Vix bit to pre-drill very screw your going stick a screw holes on the hinge and lower the torx pressure on your screw gun and hit the center of the hole with an 1/8” drill bit if you don’t have Vix bit, if the Screw is way thicker use a 3/16 drill bit, or the screws heads will snap. Do not use a regular Drill because you can’t control the torx pressure on a regular drill to drill the screws.

[@woodwood5164]

As a carpenter of over 50 years, I have fitted a few hinges in my time. I did notice (or at least I thought I did) that your chisels are not hollow ground, meaning more often grinding the 25deg required. I watched out of curiosity actually as I am hanging 3 oak internal doors at the moment, It must be me, but they were never this heavy when I was a youngster lol. Very well explained, I bet you, like myself have been to quite a few properties where people have tried to hang doors poorly.

[@GeeTheBuilder]

Great video as always. 👍 I spent years using a chisel then, one day I thought I’d try a palm router. I’ve never looked back. Installed a couple of oak double doors last week. Effortless using the router. The key, as you show here in your video, is the Stanley knife. Without that it’s very hard to get a nice looking finish surrounding the hinge.

[@ianboyd9723]

That’s what I use, I just set the depth of the router to match the hinge depth, then freehand cut it out, staying clear of the lines, then finish off with a corner chisel and a normal chisel, I have graduated to marking knife from the stanley knife, it’s quick and easy.

[@BadAdsRealShop]

I like how you explained the traditional way to mount the hinge too. Knowledgeable.

Well his method of putting a 12”steel ruler ( not a joiners tool) across the edge of the door to somehow allow marking the hinge depth wouldn’t work as shooting the door in to an old frame requires planing a slight back fall on the edge of the door,all joiners just hold a pencil and run it freehand using door edge to gauge off simple

Hi, nice job. I see so many butchered hinges these days, nice to see a good finish. Two things that spring to mind. 1 Get a soft-faced dead blow hammer for your chisels, I so hate to see a hammer used as a mallet. Dead blow hammers are much better and your chisels will thank you for it. 2 the back of your chisel looks like it's never seen a stone. The shinier the back of your chisel is the better it will sharpen and cut. Like many here, I use a small router/trimmer to remove the bulk, but people should use your method if they are just a DIYer Thanks for the video.

[@robertmagnusjamieson1759]

the best way to mark up for hinges, is to make up a stick, with hinge positions marked, with the door gap at the top marked on the stick, always measure from the top of the door going down. once its made, its easy to mark both frame and door with one stick, and is perfect every time, a rough guide to hinge positions is “the top of top hinge, 6 inches down, the bottom of the bottom hinge, 9 inches up ( from the bottom of the door) the centre of a centre hinge, central, between top and bottom hinges, ( there is far more forces acting on the top hinge, compared to the bottom one, so its not a bad idea to fit the middle hinge a little above the centre point between top and bottom hinges on the door,

[@paulwrite1405]

I have been a chippy for over 32 years and I was taught by the best old time chippys and the hinges should be 6 down and 9 up and cantre and if you open up the hinge you will notice on the one side there is a slot and that is the line for edge of the door you don't fold the hinge in half and push it to the side of door as when you chop it in the hinge won't sit flat, that's how I was taught in college many years ago but if your happy keep up the good work.

This is excellent, no music, no in your face 'guys' jabber. Same method I use, I'm a decorator so like dead straight clean edges. I tend to use wider chisels as I find them much easier to control and get flatter rebates. I also use Olfa knives as they are ultra sharp and thinner than Stanley blades, the snap off idea encourages much safer working as blade will always be sharp. Careful now! Really like centering bits too , essential.

Use a marking knife not a Stanley knife and for the depth use a marking gauge, also a wider chisel or Butt chisel, why ? 47 years experience.
