Vertical Positioning of Hinges

Although Euro-style concealed hinges allow for some vertical
adjustment, the mounting plate must line up with the hinge arm if
the two are to snap together and provide the maximum possible
adjustment range. The easiest way to accomplish this is to mark
aligning horizontal centerlines on both the door and the cabinet.
You need to consider the amount of the door's overlay or inset
when calculating the centerline positions for the door.
1. For the top hinge, measure down from the top of the cabinet
opening to the desired mounting location (typically 2"-3") and
use a combination square to mark the horizontal centerline on
the inside of the cabinet. (For the bottom hinge, measure up
from the bottom of the cabinet opening.)
Note: Be sure your hinge positions will provide adequate
clearance for any pullouts.
2. To determine the centerline location on the door, start
with the distance you measured in Step 1.
• For overlay doors, add the amount the door will overlap
at that edge.
• For inset doors, subtract the amount of the reveal at
that edge.
3. Use the values calculated for the top and bottom hinge
locations in Step 2 and mark the horizontal centerlines on
the back of the door. Compare the distance between the lines
on the cabinet with the distance between the lines on the
door to verify.

Installing Hinges

1. Refer to the Door 1 Diagram to mark drilling locations for
the hinge cup holes and mounting screw holes on the door.
2. Using a 35mm Forstner bit, drill a hole 11mm deep for
the hinge cup, taking care to keep the bit as square as
possible to the door.
3. Drill pilot holes for the screws, taking care not to drill all
the way through the door.
4. Position the hinge cup in the hole and use the included
screws to secure in place.
5. Repeat Steps 2-4 at other hinge location(s).

Installing Mounting Plates

1. Refer to the Door 2 Diagram to mark drilling locations for
the hinge plates.

2. Drill pilot holes for the mounting screws, taking care not to
drill all the way through.
Note: For fast, easy and accurate location and drilling of
mounting plate pilot holes, we recommend using the JIG IT
Hinge Plate Template A (50375, sold separately) along
with a Rockler/Insty-Drive #6 Self-Centering Bit (68991,
sold separately).
3. Use the included screws to secure the mounting plates
onto the cabinet.
4. Mount the doors by clipping the hinge arms onto
the mounting plates.
