Hidden door Hinges used in feature walls and panelling

[@jtrent90]

We fitted a whole house of these last year, did all of the machining for the linings and the doors on the bench and fitted them at the same time - after the plastering (we fitted sublinings/grounds). I made up a jig on my brother's cnc machine that had interchangeable faceplates for the deep bore and the shallower one - was setup like a skeleton jig. Very easy to fit in the end with al the adjustments!

[@cannontrodder]

Beyond the fantastic technical work that has gone into this, what is most impressive is what a lovely space you’ve created there. It genuinely looks like a really pleasant place to be!

[@Tanders1969]

This looks more and more amazing every time. Craftmanship is top notch, Robin.

[@mickymidnight1]

I have seen these hinges a few times before.... but until now, I never actually realized what was the point of having them. Nice little video.

[@diarmuidkelly9079]

Maybe do a video of the hinges being installed would be a great piece of content. How you assembled a jig etc. Best carpentry channel on KZbin and that’s something to be proud of as there are lots of talented carpenters on KZbin.

[@ukconstruction]

Thanks mate!!

[@bro89174]

I wana open my door towards me and push... Can I do the same for the hinges still so my door opens towards me and not inwards?​@@ukconstruction

[@storegga]

thats loooking hella smart there Robin. Living in an age of refinement not invention these hinges look great, something to be said for the dearer stuff on the market, it offers real world benefit and quality for customer and installer.

[@fardastevie2827]

robin your project is fantastic what a top class job you have done on it excellent

[@robwilkie1]

Please make a finished article video of that garden room when done Robin. It look absolutely fabulous

[@ukconstruction]

Will do Rob

[@kezzaman]

every inch of that building looks great 👍

[@cookinitmax]

love the work it's too bad I didn't meet someone like you along the way in this field started to late I'm 59 now and love this stuff. I LIKE THE BATON on the brick wall to cover it up idea you did. I'M NO EXPERT but love this stuff I did a wall that I had to hide a door that was an eye sore I've never had training but like to watch and learn the customer loved it so that made me happy my next door I'm going to make a bookshelf that opens up but covers another eye sore door lots of them in the area for some reason. I'm very nervous so I'm trying to get my brain to visualize it the working of it the set up but it's really hard when not knowing terms size of nails or screws to use or wood types or just plain having no experience makes it all tuff but ill push through. also not having a shop now that's tuff now that I found this channel, I'll hang out here and pick your brain. thanks for sharing where do you guys find the time to do all of this stuff videoing building this stuff takes time at least good work does.

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Ooh, you got the mirrors in! Looks great.

[@ukconstruction]

Thank you! 🤗

[@alexanderellison7054]

Great work robin! Garden room looks excellent!!!!

[@ukconstruction]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@spanishpeaches2930]

You need to have an open day for your subscribers ! Looks so good.

[@paulcloona9331]

Beautiful margins on the door robin 👌. I originally worked on body work motor cars as my trade. Ya can adjust hinges up down in out. Door lock Striker up down in out.i changed trades to carpentry and learned lots new stuff. I often wondered could a standard 102mm but hinge be made adjustable and the keeper be adjustable 🤔. Small tweekes be nice. Those hinges robin you used are brilliant. Best channel on utube. Looking forward to more 👍🇮🇪

[@gregc7699]

Looks awesome mate you've done a good job there 👍

[@ukconstruction]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@andijones9330]

In cabinetry we call them soss hinges,they seem to have taken a while to become known over here as the yanks have had them for quite a while

[@stevegoodskills8531]

Wow that's some garden room. Really nice features in there. I see those slatted walls everywhere, they do look good. I was wondering what those hinges were, thanks for the quick vid

[@pgtips4240]

What if you need the door to open outwards? What hinges do you suggest?

[@therabman_5606]

Gorgeous house, top quality work on show 👍🏻

[@rickimoran8665]

Can these hinges be used with those cheaper hollow core doors? Thanks.

[@DrAdrianHaywood]

Very clean and precise, looks fantastic. Just a quick question, what latch do you use, just a standard roller latch?

[@OZStuOZ]

This build looks amazing Robin 👏🏼

[@kevarnold2372]

Hey Robin, great video, what latch did you use on this door. Also is it placed near the top?

[@mc2dotcom2]

Thanks for that. Do you have a recommended solution when fire door required , thanks in advance

[@gc9017]

Back in the day we used soss hinges, same concept except on heavy doors they had a tendency to drop, hopefully what you’ve used are an upgraded version ?

[@harrylenton9984]

It is looking fantastic!

[@mc2dotcom2]

Hi. Quick question. Working on a similar setup. What I’m not sure about. Is in the setup you don’t have fire door stops ? How do you get around this in your setup. Thanks in advance

[@ukconstruction]

Bathrooms are considered low fire risk and do not usually require a fire door, but this rule can change geographically from Local Authorities etc

[@jeremyprice2936]

What’s the catch? Just a roller to noisy open with a thumb turn lock in the inside? How do you open the door from the outside if someone gets trapped inside?

[@NicholasBradbury]

Could you show or tell how the door latches as it closes please TIA

[@theshanhiu]

Super helpful. Thank you!

[@samposton9101]

Damn, it’s coming together Robin and looking great. I thought the gap between the door and wall panel was a pencil line for a moment there. Nice work!

[@ukconstruction]

Cheers Sam!!

[@tomasmorrissey7324]

Nice bit off topic but since u said about asking questions a video on flashing a stone chimney correctly would be nice as its always a tricky one

[@Morning_Rays]

Robin, I am a diyer and I watch your channel to learn carpentry. I don't understand why my timber is not as good as what you use in your videos. Most of my timber is delivered from yard and I am not sure if I should check every piece at yard before it's delivered? Timber I get often has fine cracks or its slightly wrapped. What is the best way to buy timber and how to store it at site to avoid wrapping? Many thanks.

[@dcchavez9129]

Matt Estlea sent me here.. Great channel!

[@ukconstruction]

Welcome!!!!

[@daviewilson_1]

Hi Robin ,, Did you make a jig for these to be cut out with the router

[@simonmiddleton2990]

Hi Robin, no doubt you have a reason for this question, but could you not have had the door opening outward , so that you do not see a line where the panels end on the door, that way you could have had the panels the same as height as the rest and a totally invisible door .

[@peterjones4863]

You need a handle or recess so you could open the door outwards.

[@21zibby]

Is it a fire rated door, if I was to do this would it meet Regs for fire proof because I’ve been told you need a door stop for the regs. If you could advise

[@thomascoyne157]

Very nice work 👍👍👍

[@retroclickmedia4422]

I make a lot of bookcases, am I right in thinking that if in the correct position theses could be used for a bookcase secret door? At the moment I use pivot hinges but they can be a nightmare to line up

[@AchieFit]

How are you closing the door and what door hardware since there's no handle?

[@burzincontractor1253]

What did you use on the latch side? A hidden magnet or latch of some sort to prevent the door from going the other way?

[@ukconstruction]

Hi, I used a decent quality ball latch like this amzn.to/3V16bGJ

[@burzincontractor1253]

Thanks so much. Does this latch prevent the door from opening forward (pulling). Or does the frame? Do you know of a latch like this that would prevent a hidden door from opening forward?

[@richardtaylor5157]

Quality Rob 👌🏻

[@paulmiller6277]

A video of installing the 3D hinges would nice

[@bro89174]

I wana open my door towards me and push... Can I do the same for the hinges still so my door opens towards me and not inwards?

[@ukconstruction]

Absolutely these hinges are perfect for that application

[@staceyismine]

How do you do this but have the door open outwards

[@ukconstruction]

Same hinges with a door stop on the lining

[@Lookright649]

What hinges would you use to swing the door the other way?

[@davidasholesjr181]

Didn't see where to find these hinges. Please list. Thank you

[@JohnCooke-c4i]

Hi Robin. I am doing a hidden door the same as that one in your video. However the door wont open 90 degrees . The edge of the door hits the frame and I can't see anyway to fix it?

[@elianese9319]

When installing this type of hinge, they usually need to be within 4 millimeters of the side the door opens to, should be in the instructions paper. Otherwise the edge of the door and jamb touch. They can also be adjusted slightly, up, down and into each other or out. This is why its difficult to add slats if the door opened outward

[@Jon-mq8vt]

That’s really very useful. I was wondering how you had them on that side.

[@amirulyeon7673]

What is the feature at the top right corner?? Is that kind of stopper or what?

[@ukconstruction]

I used a decent quality roller catch to hold the door shut

[@gte357s]

Do you need a special door jam? My builder doesn’t know how to use these hinges and make it open inwards. He said this is only for opening outwards! 😢

[@ukconstruction]

No they will work on the wrong side of the frame and still open to 90 degrees

[@PantaleonlllGarcia]

what about sir opposite door with wpc

[@billpang4797]

Just a quick one where did you manage to get the clamps full lifting the doors

[@ukconstruction]

Hi Bill here is a link to them amzn.to/3CSMbMT

[@JasonTang-c5w]

Great work! Would the hinges work if you wanted the door to open outwards? And would you still be able to achieve the hidden door look? Thanks.

[@ukconstruction]

Yes, absolutely

[@amac1657]

Looks amazing Robin. One question I have is If this was a fire rated door would having these stats on it affect it’s 1hr or 45 m time. Cheers

[@ukconstruction]

Great question, and I do not know the answer!! But I will try to find out

[@amac1657]

@@ukconstruction Thanks Robin

[@paulaldous9447]

Hi, I am a Building Control Officer and it is almost certain these type of hinge will reduce or even invalidate the fire rating of a fire door if it has not been tested with this type of door furniture . If the door has not been tested with a housed in hinge it would not be acceptable from a Building Regulation compliance perspective. Really important to use door furniture that is the same or similar to that tested with the fire door. This is an issue that we often come across when doing completion inspections. Hope this helps.

[@ukconstruction]

We have the luxury here of not actually needing to use a Fire door but I use them anyway as I prefer the solidness of them

[@ukconstruction]

Thank you Paul, its super helpful that we have some proper professionals in the audience

[@prajaktashivarkar7019]

What lock mechanism can we use for such doors

[@ukconstruction]

We use a really good roller type catch and a bolt on the inside for privacy

[@SmallWonda]

Robin, what's the angle of your ceiling there? Just spotted the wedge windows & thinking that could be the solution we're looking for for our low-angle gable ended living room extension. Love hidden doors, great fun.

[@ukconstruction]

This roof is 18 degrees

[@SmallWonda]

@@ukconstruction Bless thank you, ours is only to be around 10-degrees sure we can make it look lovely.... Love your Channel. Relax today, I hope!

[@adamspeed5269]

Joseph Fritz would be proud

[@MrJwwhasabetterchannel]

Just a guess but this looks like it will be used as a commercial spa rather than just a home gardener room. I also remember seeing a lady in spa type clothing talking to Robin in one of the episodes….???

[@ukconstruction]

It is just for family and friends use, my daughter dances and we like training and yoga hence the large space!! My wife does skincare treatments too, that's why my skin is so good!!!!!!!

[@MrJwwhasabetterchannel]

@@ukconstruction it’s a great space you’ve created

[@richardstevenson2727]

👍

[@patrickkelly7085]

just like kitchen cupboard doors

[@ukconstruction]

Pretty much!

[@0000kris0000]

Could you not have still just used butt hinges on the hidden door? The pivot point looks like it’s in the same place so it’s not like they’re being swung over like on a concealed hinge for example.

[@thomasnn]

This is your garden room, yeah?

[@ukconstruction]

Yes mate

[@thomasnn]

@@ukconstruction Epic stuff

[@Wattsjoinerybarn]

SDS London are a fantastic company to deal with❤! I have fitted a few of these over the years but haven’t yet found one that works with 18/24mm cabinet doors with 3d adjustment! Seeings as I have a chance to ask the master! Do you know anyone that makes them?
