Cabinet Door Hinges || Everything you need to Know!

Uh, NO - this is NOT "Everything you NEED To Know"! In good faith, I watched this video in the hope of learning HOW TO ADJUST these hinges.. I'm certain many others would expect the same. After checking your library I STILL couldn't find such a video. (Perhaps you DO have one - I simply was unable to find a title leading me to such a video). Guess I need to search elsewhere. Thanks anyway!

In your example pieces it was hard to tell which piece was the door and which was the cabinet. I figured it out but it wasn't obvious. Thanks for the info.

Thank you for clearing up a huge issue with hinges and base plates

THANK YOU! Your video is magnificent. It explains hinges perfectly. Had a difficult time finding a video that fully explained it in detail. Many blessings to you.

this is pure hell, i'm lovin' it!

thanks for the info!

Good job.

So much information! 🤯

I used Compact 33 2 part hinges on frameless cabs for years. In fact, the only Blum hinge system that really limits which style of cabinets you can/should use them on are full frame wrap-around hinges.

I have a question. My original kitchen cabinets - made from laminate covered chipboard - used these hinges. The sink unit got damaged, so I made a replacement out of 18mm ply. Do I use the same type of screw (I have the old fittings) to attach the hinge to the cabinet?

I didn’t think I could hate cabinets this much lol

What product can you recommend I use to fill in the overwarn screw holes that I want to fill in with replacement screws. My end goal is to not have to be tightening up my hinges every few months or so. I want to use the existing holes where the screws were, that fell out of the hinges, but make them more permanent and less likely to wiggle free again. Also, don't let the critics get you down. I consider myself a low to intermediate level diyer and you did a great job explaining the basics of hinges.

Bets video I have ever seen on this subject. Thank you. I have a unique application. I have motor home hinges I can't find that are top mounted non european old style but have springs that keep the door up horizontally when opened and keep the door closed when closed. I can convert to eropean since I have the jig for that. But I don't know what hinges will keep the door open with enough force and keep it shut with enough force when closed like the hinges that are in the motorhome now. Do you have any suggestions?

thank you

Is there any reason you would choose to adjust the mounting plate size rather than use a hinge with the correct overlay?

Best and easiest to understand.

2:55 If those hinges are for face frame installation, what is the unused screw hole for? And, what happens if the door is opened beyond the opening angle say, if someone bumps the door while its open? Seems that unsupported hinge would just split the frame and yank out the screws... I watched all the videos in this playlist but, must have missed where you discuss opening angles and the reason there are different angles, and what for.. What is the standard opening angle? Why are most hinge angles 110 degrees or less, when a door that doesn't open all the way is prone to being pushed beyond that angle, potentially damaging the frame?

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?

I need a hinge restrictor clip for a Taiming brand hinge. Used in magic woods cabinets sold at menards

How much weight can they handle if we use them vertically?
