Hinges – Measuring and fitting instructions for our Kitchen Hinges

By: Gareth Jones

Work out how many hinges are required per door

Bore the 35mm hole 4mm from the inside edge of the door – for most hinges a depth of 12mm is sufficient

For Full & Half Overlay applications the mounting plate hole positions should be 37mm in from the front edge of the cabinet side, the vertical centres between the 2 plates holes are 32mm

For Inset applications the mounting plate hole positions should be 37mm + door thickness + 1mm for the door to be flush with the front edge of the cabinet side, the vertical centres between the 2 plates holes are 32mm

For 45° and  Blind Corner hinge applications the 35mm bore hole depth only needs to be 10.6 – 11mm, all other drilling positions are as Full Overlay applications

For Bifold hinge applications the 170° hinge is fitted as per a standard Full Overlay hinge, the Bi-Fold 35mm bore hole is drilled 3mm from the door edge at a depth of 10.2mm, the plate is fixed 37mm from the edge of the door
