Hinge installation size diagram (how to determine the size of the cabinet door hinge position 1

Expanding on the existing information, here is a detailed guide on how to determine the size of the cabinet door hinge position:

1. For a normal hinge, when the door is closed on the hinge side, it will be approximately 17mm longer than the frame. This is because the hinge has some adjustment capability. The other three sides of the door only need to cover the frame.

2. If there are doors on both sides, you will need to use a larger curved hinge. This hinge will be approximately 8mm longer than the frame after closing.

3. To determine the size of the door for a half-cover hinge, subtract 3mm from the inner space of the cabinet plus the thickness of a vertical board. This applies to both the width and height of the door.

4. Once you have determined the size of the cabinet door, you need to determine the small margin between the installed cabinet doors. This will depend on the type of hinge and can be selected from the hinge cup margin and the thickness of the cabinet door.

5. Use an installation measuring board or carpenter's pencil to mark the position for drilling. The drilling margin is usually around 5mm. Then use a pistol drill or woodworking hole opener to make a hinge cup installation hole on the cabinet door panel. The width should be approximately 3-5mm, and the depth of drilling is typically about 12mm.

6. Insert the hinge into the hinge cup hole on the cabinet door panel and fix the hinge cup with self-tapping screws.

7. Open the hinge and align it with the side panel. Fix the base of the hinge to the side panel using self-tapping screws.

8. To achieve the desired effect of opening and closing the cabinet door, adjust the cabinet door until it functions smoothly. The gap between the cabinet doors after installation is generally around 2mm.

Now, let's discuss the installation size of the hinge:

1. Side Panel of the Door Cover:

- The diameter of the door hinge hole on the door panel is 35*13mm, and the distance from the side is 22.5mm.

- The diameter of the door hinge hole is 5*12mm, and the distance from the center point of the door hinge hole is 5.5mm.

- The diameter of the door hinge hole on the side panel is 5*12mm, and the distance from the edge is 37mm.

2. Parallel to the Door Side:

- The diameter of the door hinge hole on the door panel is 35*13mm, and the distance from the edge is 22.5mm.

- The diameter of the door hinge hole is 5*12mm, and the distance from the center point of the door hinge hole is 5.5mm.

- The side panel door hinge guide hole has a diameter of 5*12mm, and the distance from the side is 37mm.

The specific technical requirements may vary between companies, but you can refer to resources like "Hettis Technology and Application" for detailed information on hardware specifications.

In summary, installing cabinet door hinges involves the following steps:

1. Install the hinge cup:

- Determine the position on the cabinet door panel and install the hinge cup using self-tapping screws or expansion plugs.

2. Install the hinge seat:

- Pre-drill holes on the side panel, align the hinge base, and fix it with screws or expansion plugs.

3. Install the cabinet door hinge:

- Depending on the type of hinge, either insert it into the hinge cup on the cabinet door panel and fix it with screws, or use tool-free installation methods.

4. Test and adjust:

- Open and close the cabinet door to check if the hinge functions properly.

- Adjust the cabinet door for the desired effect, ensuring a gap of around 2mm between the cabinet doors.

Installing hinges may seem challenging initially, but with the right measurements and tools, it can be done effectively. Remember to follow the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines for the specific hinges you are using.
