Installing Concealed Cabinet Door Hinges & Handles {The Easy Way!}

[@jeffhansman2829]

Yours is the first method I was able to actually use successfully. Making a dummy door is the best way to know if your placement of the hinge will work. Many thanks.

[@jaymiddleton772]

Glad I watched this before attempting - making a template piece will make the process much easier but I wouldn't have thought to do that without this video. Thanks for sharing.

[@yesdoods5984]

That template changed my life as a DIYer.

[@TheDougOfTheNorth]

I a relative noob and working with 3/4 ply. The so simple and obvious (or not) idea of a short temp door was a lifesaver! Thank you!

[@samuelligo7234]

Oh wow the template idea just unlocked the whole process for me. Thank you.

[@RobSchweitzer]

Installed my first full-overlay hinges today and I found this very useful, expecially the small scrap with a hinge installed to use to locate the cabinet half of the hinge! I used a Kreg jig to drill the door side and the scrap to mark screw holes for the other.

[@mikeforster8798]

Great video. Easy to follow, step by step. I am about to use these hinges for the first time so this was extremely helpful. Thanks for posting it.

[@ajleece]

Thanks for this! Wouldn't have thought of using a template piece like that.. Will make my next project much easier!

[@MarkJones-z6n]

Thank you so much for this video!!! If I hadn't found it I would still be pulling my hair out!! I was fitting non-Ikea hinges to an Ikea cabinet with with no instructions. In the hinge packet there was some simple instructions and a formula to work out where to drill the holes for the hinge, but absolutely nothing about where to attach the hinge mounts. Your mini door method worked a treat and saved me from losing my sh*t. Again. Thanks!!!

[@Yusufmasron]

Thanks for the video, i was puzzling how i could access to install with the actual door, and yes the template!!!! thanks so much.

[@sweeety969]

A lot of talking but this is the only video that actually helped me

[@leezoula6035]

I have been scratching my head how to line up doors with cabinate box without struggling. this is truly amazing 👏

[@ricsoares8169]

Would be great to know about what furniture paint you use for a smooth hardie finish and what battery sprayer that is

[@mattwood2773]

Getting ready to install concealed hinges for a door on a shop/tool cart I just built. Your video and method will prove extremely useful for this, thank you!! I also recently acquired the Kreg door mortising jig, so glad to see you use it too!

[@TheRdwyer]

Awesome video, thank you for making it. It confirmed my thought process of making a jig.

[@dominykastr]

Good job. Loved your video. I wished you explained how to measure distances more precisly and what to do if no temporary template is avaialble.

[@antonpriestley5105]

Would never have thought of making a shallow template!!

[@angellas.1314]

After doing and re-doing the cups, for a 3/4 plywood door, use the #3 setting on the Kreg jig, to drill out the cup holes, for Blum 71B355(0) full overlay hinge. I put the 0, in parentheses because on the hinge itself it’s marked without it. In the Blum catalog it’s listed with the 0.

[@prasannakumarguhan]

Thank you very much for hinges installation walk through, much appreciate

[@charronfamilyconnect]

Thanks for the video. Now I have to figure out how to make new drill holes for my pantree that has two doors joined together with bolts. Will a template work for that?

[@cdnpacker]

Template is genius. I wasted so much time and effort trying to align the full door.

[@billharshbarger1878]

liked the cabinet…got a video on making it?

[@tontongasy]

Great video and really helpful! How did you hide/remove the doors' knobs and leave it clean?

[@utavatar]

Error warning, in the video they suggest getting an even spacing at the top and then screwing the hinges in. The guy then holds the template in place with his hand. that is not the way you maintain an even spacing. To maintain the exact spacing across a single cab or a 1000 cabs you use a spacer strip. If you want an 1/8" gap at the top of all your doors you s cut a 1/8"spacer strip and place it at the top of the template and press it to the top of the cab .If you have two or more doors in the cabinet you cut the spacer strip to run the entire width of the cabinet and keep it in place every time to use the template for drilling the hinge bases.

[@uhN0id]

I liked his tips and demonstration but I was thinking the same thing. Why not at least throw some playing cards in there to ensure both sides will be even. Or better yet get a full length strip of wood that matches the desired gap and tape it on while drilling the wholes with the template?

[@davidcoombes293]

Nice work, what colour is the nightstand please?

[@beverleygregory]

ok got it now after watching a few times, *I have 14 doors to install and was wondering your advise on hinges to buy decobasics seem a good price point thank you

[@stsopoe1957]

The bedside table design looks amazing..would definitely love making one myself..thanks for sharing.

[@cra7g686]

Thanks bro made me understand a lot more from this video

[@Jeff_Eats_Local]

I watched the full build yesterday! Glad you made a separate video just on this process!

[@djczone1]

Watched a lot of videos on hinge installation but they all focused on the doors. I was trying to learn how to align the plates on the cabinet body. Your template trick is exactly what I needed. Now I know how to actually install the doors thank you!

[@MrCook-fz8jp]

I was thinking the same thing. You could even use one of your stiles prior to final assembly as your template if you do tongue and groove style cabinet doors. That's what I plan to do since my doors are going to be 15" wide x 48" tall. That would make it much easier to align the hardware for mounting.

[@angelarandall-west8602]

Video is very useful. Please follow-up with a "How to adjust the door on Euro hinge" video. You mentioned the set screw, but a detailed, close-up is needed. The more I adjusted the screw the more lopsided my door hung.

[@woodcraftbynieves]

In other words I need to make a jig? Is there an existing jig that will help position the door so you can attach the cabinet portion of the hinge?

[@garethwells9851]

Can you please tell me what is the minimum board width that those hinges can be fitted to? I’m going to be using half inch Mdf and will be looking to use those hinges. Was wondering how deep into the door you need to drill?

[@georgeshaw6207]

Superb Video. Thanks George U.K.

[@rickbarger5161]

Thanks for showing me how to do that I got to go through the video one more time to find out who makes that jig you're talking about are cleaning about thanks for the video

[@vivhosking]

This is great! i was going to skip past your video based on the views, im glad i just went ahead and clicked on it, because this is easily the best way for, to do these. cheers!

[@shuilong52]

HI, appreciate if you can advise is installing the inside hinges position affected by the thickness of the door? if so, how to dothe adjustment. thanks

[@stevemcfarland4661]

If you had two boxes side by side would the doors still open?

[@josephfisk466]

Great method good video straight to the point

[@RobertsAdventure]

Lots of good tips in here, I've done these style hinges before with the same Kreg jig and I was doing a few things the hard way!

[@rogueengineer]

Glad it helped

[@mjnorrad]

Thank you very much! I am sure I can do this without messing up my project now!

[@mts-musictravelsportsvlog6112]

Can I use C1 to a 2 inches frame shared together by 2 doors so that the 2 doors on a 2 inches frame will share 2 doors and the fram wont be seen , is it possible ? thank you

[@znik163]

Will these work for 1.5" thick frame to 5/8 thick door?

[@AngelaBice77]

The template idea is awesome! Thank you!!

[@Ghengis443]

Also bought the same Kreg hinge jig, a little disappointed, the hole it leaves is a little sloppy and not a snug fit. Just in case you all were wondering.

[@bas17h4]

Needs to be clamped down, and steady hands with the drill

[@Z-add]

Can the jig be used for inset hinges

[@craigbyrne1441]

Me too, now I’m able to realign all the out of whack doors around my house. 👍👍

[@vicmiami]

Thank you for this EXCELLENT TUTORIAL!! The template idea is really GREAT!

[@EmmanuelMoochet]

What kind of spray gun did you use?

[@tundrawhisperer4821]

When does the use of a third hinge come into play, as it relates to the door height? I’m sure weight and width are factored in. But I have some frameless cabinets that will have full overlay doors that are 18” wide, made of 3/4” thick CVG Fir plywood. Should I use three hinges?

[@klloh5012]

hi do u have a video that explains how u do it on a curved door ?

[@kumarenrai2227]

Thank you bro awsome explanation really helped us alot

[@4greghamilton]

That was a good video. Just a side question, what is the make of the paint gun which had a cameo in the video?

[@andrewheffernan2961]

It looks like a cordless Graco gun. They are brilliant but cost a bit.

[@davidwalker575]

Do you use your impact driver as a drill? Or do they just look similar?

[@EugenioFranklin]

He used both. A driver as a driver and a drill as a drill.

[@GraceZec]

how do you actually hang the door to the cabinet frame? i'm having a hard time "sliding" the hinge on the door to the hinge part on the frame

[@TheWhitde]

very well done... exactly what I need. Thanks!

[@bustaubie]

You make it look easy. Thanks for the tip and tutorial.

[@LUckybones25]

Thank you! I learned something.

[@AgoristsRising]

thanks for the informational vid! Will these hinges be strong enough to hold a 24" x 80" door, if I purchase enough of them?

[@Maurice1151]

Great video mate! Thank you!👍👍

[@MarkTellier]

Nice looking table! I didn't know how to go about hanging large over sized doors until you shared this template idea, thanks!

[@shaneoreo4362]

Great vid bro , cheers 🍻 👏 ✌️ 👍

[@brooklynschmitz840]

What hinges are these? Do you have a link?

[@kerfnut7898]

Thanks so much for the great video. A huge help. It made it way easier for my first time. 👍👍👍👍👍👍🤗🤗👍🤗👍👍

[@peterd1281]

Very useful Video, Thanks a lot!!

[@dangatto8666]

Nice but I don't have Kreg template. And I only have 1 cabinet to make.

[@Antweak83]

Amazing jig. Why didn't I think of this. Gonna use this for sure.

[@jonrayfloyd9036]

love this! great idea!!💯👌🏻

[@johnle1465]

thanks for the tips and experiences

[@Fonzmora]

great video, simple, and to the point, congrats

[@nataliefreeth8924]

I need to know how to fix an existing hinge with a spare I have removed from another cupboard

[@justindarnellfpv]

Perfect, all I need is a cabinet shop… 😫

[@bexaminer1]

Great. I'm redoing my cabinets in the kitchen and want to replace the old style hinges with the new European style such as the one's you did. I may keep the old doors, just strip them and then spray them or I may get just new doors. I was looking at the new doors moments ago and I see that the company charges something like $5 per door for the hinges. Not much if it's only one. But I have about 60 doors to do so that's a little different. Anyway, this looks like fun. I made a note of the jig you used and I'm going to shop for that right now. Thanks again.

[@maxmusicpage]

Thank you.. I just fixed my cabinet door. :)

[@cdavidhenley]

Great video. Really interested in your work bench as well. Have you done a build video for it?

[@radinsyah1574]

Actually the setting on the jig is rather important to mention coz otherwise ppl will not get the full overlay position?

[@LuisUgarteUSA]

Good video which fix my thought

[@ibidesign]

So, how does one know how far the center of the mortise should be from the long (vertical) edge of the door? Especially without the Kreg jig?

[@brocknordstrom7807]

Exactly what I was looking for.

[@highwayoflife3987]

Right

[@tide1212]

Yeah that’s great but what we are interested in is how far from edge does the hole need to be to install the damn hinge , not “ just put hole here using jig “ lol

[@Morfi333]

that information youll get from hinge tech sheet. every respectable manufacturer have this information in the documentation. usually its not fixed number but a range like 3-5mm

[@mikegresham9424]

Hey bud, i have a 21 doors and theybare dif sizes

[@PeterSimmonsonline]

Help! I have a cabinet and the door fell off and the hinge came apart. How do I connect the two pieces?

[@amyw3946]

Great idea!

[@sandyp196]

Gave up. I just wanted to know about the actual hinge and how to install it.

[@tyronedevilliers3968]

Isit ok to drill the hole with a three mm gap fron the edge of the door

[@bigdahhwg89]

Awesome Tutorial! Thank you!

[@dasabaja]

From your experience, is it advisable (justo save some time mounting and dismounting hinge cups) to have the dummy door with hinge cups, but to use one hinge cup and just switch hinge plates? Basically, you are using one hinge cup to align all hinge plates. Since the hinges are screwed in using a template, there shoudn't be much offset....what's your take on that?

[@SpannerAT34]

Very clever. Use a bit for the cabinet bracket that will find the center of holes accurately. Using a small pilot bit wont always find the center

[@atexnik]

4:41 never mount the hinges' plates like that. There's plenty of reasons why you should avoid it by all means.

[@AZ-um1oz]

Would you care to elaborate?

[@lui1648]

What was the setting on the kreg jig? Was the offset 5 mm for those hinges? Thanks for the help

[@laurence9695]

The tiny door template is genius.

[@sanjaypatil2532]

Liked your idea of the template especially when i don't own a marking gig.

[@mysai5035]

Tq sir.. For the tutorial.

[@reemboachu5784]

Thank you! Got good tips!!!

[@absaly]

well presented

[@bunukarki1785]

I took hinges out pushing edge of it but not able to again keep it back in closet . Please help me . 2 in middle is out

[@ericpolson137]

Show a full style "overlay"

[@trunkingham]

Really needed more measurements. Wood thickness? Distance from the 35mm hole to the edge? Distance from the holes to the edge of the cabinet? Not everyone has a jig.

[@mariomuzdeka]

Spot on , thank you!

[@jasonwindebank5455]

Thats what i said i have no jig

[@RobbieBoy33]

I hate consealed hinges, why did they re-invent the old fashioned hinge when it worked perfectly well?

[@jonothandoeser]

NICE workflow!
