Take a deep breath everyone, it's a bit of a long video, but I wanted to make it as comprehensive a run through as possible of what is quite a tricky process that home owners typically don't take on.
There is quite a lot to take on board, but once you've watched this hopefully you'll realise that installing concealed hinges is actually really straight forward.

Brilliant work Charlie the most thoughtful I've seen. Thank you for your insights.
I stopped watching after 30 secs...FFWD video to 10 mns , and the hinge was still not yet installed. I CAN'T understand why people talk so much! Why can't they simply get to the point!

@@cwhyte153 You'd understand why if you watched the video. 😉
@@cwhyte153 everybody's different! Some people like long explanations! Now you understand! Stop whining!
After researching for days, yours was the first video/article I found where the thickness of door in relation to the cup hole is addressed. That, and every other detail you’ve gone over make this by far and away, the BEST instruction ever on the web!! Thank you so much!!
Arguably the best UA-cam video on this particular subject. I'm currently planning to make and fit a medium-sized door for a space underneath the stairs using concealed hinges (inset), and I've learnt so much thanks to this video. Great stuff.
many hours of research crammed into 21 min. best video on you tube that demonstrates how to fit these hinges. Thank you!!
Matt Anderson Thanks Matt - really appreciate that - thanks for taking the time to comment.
Matt Anderson yy
Agree with Matt! Thanks for this
great tips...the best thing about the video ...no music..straight and clear talking....and like you mentioned tools than anyone can afford to pick up for a small project like this...thanks.....cheers...
Marc Peters Thanks Marc - glad you find it useful. I used to put music on my videos - which was a big mistake!
Just wanted to say "thank you" for making this video. I consider myself pretty handy, but 100+ hours into a walnut cabinet build, I wasn't sure exactly where to drill. I had a pretty good idea, but wasn't sure until I saw your video. I also made a small prototype out of scraps to convince myself.
As always great content. This guy has got to be one of the best DIY video makers. He seems to understands his audience and pitches his explanations at the right level.
Charlie - after 25 years in the house, my European hinges in the kitchen have succumbed to the abuse of 4 kids - so, I find myself needing to replace the hinges on 27 cabinet doors (well not all need it, but I'll take the opportunity to upgrade to soft-close hinges) - with many of them requiring repositioning to deal with damaged MDF around some of the cups. I've watched several UA-cam videos & your video is by far the best - I now am not freaking out over where to find the best hinges w/ soft close, and all the work to install them without screwing up. Thank you for the really detailed video on how to do it - including walking through the brochure, using a jig and a mockup. My blood pressure is now quite a few points lower! Great job.
Really helpful. My job is much simpler -replacing a broken kitchen cupboard hinge, but this video helped me understand how it all works
Thanks David. Glad you found it useful.
Charlie, I am happy you found an audience here on UA-cam. You are clearly an amazing instructor. Clear, precise and to the point. Fantabulous! You took away all my apprehension installing a 170 degree Blum hinge.
Herma Ornes Herma, that's so good to hear - thanks so much for taking the time to comment (and so eloquently!)
Charlie, thank you for doing all the leg work for us budding DIYers. I was initially looking at your video of how to build your own circular saw guide track and stumbled on this excellent tutorial. I've bought myself a pack of 10 overlay hinges and was wondering how I'd get on. Thanks to your tutorial it should be a cinch, just a slight different setup. Keep up the great work 👍
I am building a rather large buffet with three inset doors.
I plan to use these same hinges for the first time and have been quite nervous about screwing it up.
I like your suggestion about doing a mock-up and will try that.
Thank you for taking the time to painstakingly document your experience and trials and errors.
You have helped me more than you know and I am grateful.
Can always rely on one of Charlie's videos when faced with an "oh heck" moment. Well done Charlie.
Thanks. There's a little hinge update here too ua-cam.com/video/tdMnnkvInrE/v-deo.htmlsi=Xi8_9AoCeRfvqwNF 👊
I have to say the details you have put into this video are fantastic. These hinges can be stressful to deal with and I really appreciate the effort it took you into making such an informative video. Many thanks Charlie.
riaz1555 You're very welcome. Thanks for the comment!
Well worth the 90 minutes. Very descriptive and helpful. I wish all the others would be like this as we all need as much info as possible. Thanks
You're the man...!! Subscribed..
I'm a decorator by trade and been let down by someone who owed me a favour prior to this virus going on.. can turn my hand to most things and doing everything myself... having to make a unit I avoided this method as thought I'd wreck the MDF door.. but couldnt believe how easy and accurate it was following a couple minutes of your video.. you saved me getting more stressed..many thanks hope you and family stay safe at this crazy time..
That's brilliant news Christopher, and massive thanks for taking the time to let me know (and also for subscribing). I agree. They're a joy compared to traditional hinges. I'll be using them again on a big wardrobe build some time over the next few months. You too - it's mad at the moment isn't it!
This hands down is the best video on concealed hinges and on navigating that monstrous blum website - Thanks charlie!
Thanks Garviel. I revisited this in the final video of my wardrobe build bit.ly/2UfXY4B 👊🏻
Thanks for this. I'm new to DIY and this helped me put a cabinet door on in my kitchen. Cheers! Couldn't have done it without this video!
That's great news. Thanks for the comment Hazel!
Many thanks! I was helping a friend clean out a garage and found a bunch of hinges like these. Had no idea what they were even called! Now I know how to install them correctly & now I can use them for my upcoming cabinet projects. 😎😎😎😎😎
You're welcome. Thanks for the comment!
First, thank you. Second, why on earth did anyone click the thumbs down? Third, helping me through a 105 page document, good grief, priceless. Mock ups rule. This is my first commercial cabinet build, and your video is one of the best. I'm going back to the drawing board, and hopefully ordering all my hinges today.
Just had to write you a quick note. This is an awesome step by step video....love it Charlie! Thank you
Thanks so much for taking the time to send that Brad. Really glad you found it useful! I'm just about to start a major wardrobe build so keep an eye out for that 👍🏻
Really great video Charlie , the fact it 20’mins long is good as it is packed full of info …. Thanks 👍
Thanks. There's a mini update here is you have a moment ua-cam.com/video/tdMnnkvInrE/v-deo.html
Thank you so much Charlie.I'm a Brit in New Zealand, and have worried over my ability to use these hinges for ages.You make it so simple.Well done.
Charlie you are a genius. I think I was going through the same pain you did trying to find the right answers. But everyone speaks gobbledygook until you start to get your head around reveals, cups, types of frames etc etc. No one makes it easy for what should be pretty straight forward. Its not the first time I have bumped into your videos and this one has been a life save before I completely gave up and used some ugly ass butt hinges. THANK YOU
Thanks. Worth watching all 21 minutes!
Thanks Steve, I appreciate that. New wardrobe build coming up over the next few weeks 👍🏻
Charlie you get by far the best British DIY UA-cam channel. I find when searching, a lot of US videos pop up, which is not useful.
Thanks Charlie, you answered questions I did not even think to ask! These are now my new favorite hinges. And you are my new favorite instructor.
You're very welcome Steve. Thank YOU for taking the time to comment. It always gives me a massive boost to get positive feedback like that, as I brace myself for the next onslaught of video editing 😉. 👍
you made it very simple and not adding too much dialog. thank you, john
bofrjojo Thanks! Much appreciated!
Thank you very much for very useful information and tips. I had many problems with this topic until I saw this video.
You're welcome and there's a bit of an update in this one ua-cam.com/video/tdMnnkvInrE/v-deo.html 👍
Thanks for your tutorial it made my three-day job a bit easier.
You're welcome Phil. Thanks for the comment 👍
Charlie, your advice to do a trial fit of the hinges on scrap wood is INVALUABLE. Once done you can see how they work, and then work out, first whether you should change any of your measurements BEFORE you actually cut into your doors, and later how to adjust the doors. So much easier to do with the trial piece. Thank you so much for the tip, and to everybody about to fit hinges for the first time, follow Charlie’s tip...DO A TRIAL ON SCRAP WOOD FIRST!
Just want to say thank you very much for showing us the whole process. Perhaps manufacturers should be referring to this video on their websites. Thank you Sir
Thanks Francisco , I really appreciate that 🙏👍🏻
So helpful! We had such a nightmare with some hinges but feel much more confident for our next project now.
You're very welcome Nicola and here's an update video of you have a few moments ua-cam.com/video/tdMnnkvInrE/v-deo.html
Great video, tried installing these thinking it will be a piece of cake and it was a real pain. Funny that the information for concealed hinges was well concealed. ;)
I've dabbled in installing these hinges for years. I've never known how much detail was available until watching your instructions. Thanks so much for your time and research. I'm now a lot wiser.
Cliff
Thanks Cliff. I was exactly the same, but I kept seeing them on jobs I was working on, and decided I had to give it a go. With the massive scope for adjustment and soft close functionality (removing the need for door magnets etc), I don't think I'll be going back to flush/ other hinges!
I sat through and watched it all. I feel like there should be a name for when you reach that point in life when you watch a video about hinges on new years eve, for fun. Great video by the way!
But if you're researching your own build, it's time well spent. If not, then I'm just grateful you dropped by. Happy New Year! 👍
I thank you 👍👏
Thank you Charlie. Exactly what I was looking for!
Totally agree with the comment from Matt Anderson. Professional and comprehensive. I'm making my mock-up doors as I watch.
Thanks Alison - I really appreciate that. You'll love these hinges!! 👍
Love this guy's video he explains everything perfectly and takes away some of the fear in attempting jobs like this
Thanks Ricky!
Epic, concise and detailed have much better idea about these hinge type, as always research is key and thanks for the explanation. The beauty about watching Charlie is he make you want to try, I have a shed load of tools just sitting in a garage, well that's going to change. Not only have you inspired me you have given me more avenues for work, so for that I thank you.
Thanks so much, mate. Get those tools to work. Forget videos being epic, it's you who will feel epic as you survey your newly completed DIY 💪🏻👍🏻
Another great video. I'll be confidently hanging my new wardrobe doors at the weekend. 😃
Glad to great it Chris. Check out this update video too ua-cam.com/video/tdMnnkvInrE/v-deo.html 👍
Thanks Charlie - absolute superstar. Probably saved me an evening just on getting that Blum PDF - or even worse if I'd missed it I could have made a real mess of my new project. Great tutorial and whilst long - no fluff! All solid info.
DPH You're very welcome mate. Really glad you found it useful and massive thanks for taking the time to comment!
Thank you so much for this. We would not have been able to figure this out without this video
No worries Andrew. Glad you found it useful and thanks for the comment 👍🏻
Really, really useful. Very well explained. Great help. Thank you.
I’ve looked at 15 of these videos...yours is by far the best! If you are ever in New Orleans I owe you lunch my friend!!
I've struggled with these things for such a long time now. Thanks to your video I've finally cracked it. Thank you!
Well done!, I have been trying to sort out what I need and how to do it for the last two years. As you said, there is not a lot of info out there I started watching and then you said we have been watching for 19 mins, I couldn't believe it. Fascinating.
Cheers Steve - really glad you found it useful!
Just the right level of detail and clearly explained 😀
Thanks Paul. There's a new video on this here ua-cam.com/video/tdMnnkvInrE/v-deo.html if you have a moment 👍
Brilliant video I'm going to try and make built in wardrobes and this video gives me confidence I can actually hang the doors correctly haha. Thank you
Thanks Carman. You might find this vid useful too ua-cam.com/video/tdMnnkvInrE/v-deo.htmlsi=7MEVkixINtSOsdPn and this is video no.7 in a wardrobe build series so if you start at video 1 ua-cam.com/video/R1dKybdYyY8/v-deo.htmlsi=ZCQw8BAXCCPReL48 and work your way through it'll give you a lot of info for your build. 👊
i was looking for a refresher on distances from edge verus reveal and you are about the only english spoken one that covers this comprehensively, i'm off to wickes now! thanks. great video.
Cheers mate and good luck with the project!
Thanks for taking the time Charlie, a great detailed video on Blum Hinges - you have saved me hours of Blum learning curve(s)!
You're very welcome Glenn. Here's an updated video with a few new tips ua-cam.com/video/tdMnnkvInrE/v-deo.html 👍
The ability to move the door at 17:00 is brilliant!!
Charlie, this is an incredible video! You explained all the steps in an easy to understand manner, how I wish that I had found this top grade instructional video before I hung my 22 cabinet doors! Thanks again.
Hi Charlie, another excellent video. Your explanations of the hinge details and what to look out for are priceless and will save a lot of time (and frustration if you buy the wrong hinges!).
Thanks Kevin. Really glad you found it useful!
From halfway around the globe thank you so very much for taking the time to post this video. You are right there is very little information out there and your video is going to single-handedly allow me to install my inset doors properly. Cheers
Fantastic video, I watched the video before, couldn't understand very well and then after purchasing some hinges and checking them out, I rewatched it and now I'm about to go try out my luck. Wish me luck on installing of my first concealed hinges
Good luck Rafiu. I'm sure you'll ace it 🤞🏻👍🏻
Hope you read my comment. Thank very much for sharing your knowledge with the public. I love the hinge jig. I will try to make a copy of it and name it “Charlie hinge jig”. Thanks
Thanks so much Oscar. I'd be really chuffed to know there was a jig named after me 😏 Here's an update video you might find useful, with a shiny new jig for the mounting plates ua-cam.com/video/tdMnnkvInrE/v-deo.html
Thank u ,,, I have worked with carpenters and asked about how to do it and the only thing they say oh it’s so easy and no one would tell u how to do it , don’t know why .. thank you for ur time mate and effort to help make it easy
Beautifully done. The Blum brochures are very confusing and you have simplified the process very well. Thank you.
By far the best video to do with hinge installation I've come across , thank you.
This is INCREDDDDDIBLY HELPFUL!!! Thank you!!!!
You're welcome Rebecca. You might also check this one out ua-cam.com/video/tdMnnkvInrE/v-deo.html as it's a bit of an update. 👍
God I didn't even think of a scrap wood mockup! Brilliant idea
You're welcome 😉👍
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain the entire process
You're welcome Tim. Funnily enough I had to watch this again the other day as I've a load (38 to be precise) of brackets to install for my wardrobe doors, and had forgotten the dimensions 👍🏻
@@CharlieDIYte I'm currently fitting some alcove units and your tip about making a prototype has given me the confidence to try it out on the proper doors - thanks again
This video is SO helpful. I'm just about to build a cabinet to cover a boiler out of some old IKEA wardrobe parts I got for free. They originally had sliding doors so there were no holes cut for the concealed hinges. I was dreading doing all the maths to figure out where to drill the 35mm holes so this video will be my reference through the whole process. Thanks Charlie!!!
Funnily enough I've got a load of doors to hang for my wardrobe build, and I've just rewatched this vid to remind myself how to do it 🤣 I've bought no fewer than 3 template tools on the internet, including a Blum one and no-one of them have the holes in the right place so I'm afraid it's best to work it out yourself based on the hinges you've bought.
Hello Charlie, just taken stock of probably the same hinges you presented on your video and you've helped me enormously. Excellent and extremely helpful video. Many thanks and all the best
Many thanks Peter - really pleased to hear it's helped you, thanks so much for taking the time to comment!
Watched this at 3 in the morning to put me out but the geezer's that straight forward and clued up I watched it all. Nice one mate I'll defo download that brochure aswell. Fair play to ya
You’ve made a difficult job so much easier. Thank you for the links to Blum as well. Loving their soft close hinges. I’m not a regular DIYer but thought I’d have a go after watching your brilliant video. Cheers Charlie!
Thanks Russ! Really appreciate you taking the time to post that. Do it - they're surprisingly easy to fit. You'll be fine. The trick is to make sure you buy the right ones!
Super video, amazing detail..a massive well done 👍
Thanks Chris. There's a bit of an update in this vid too ua-cam.com/video/tdMnnkvInrE/v-deo.html
Until now, I classified concealed hinges to the realms of manufacturers’, CAD/CAM but now I’m confident, it is a DIY job, thanks to your research and Blum. I’m going to give it a go when I refurb’ the kitchen. Another great video. Thanks, Charlie.
Thanks. Check out this update too if you have a moment ua-cam.com/video/tdMnnkvInrE/v-deo.html 👊
I am in the usa & 77 yrs old and have always stayed away from those because I did not want to do the research. not very familier with internet but you make me think it is do able Thank You
Charlie, thanks so much for a thoroughly helpful video! So well-done. Cheers from the States! 💛😎
You're very welcome, Glen. Thanks for taking the time to comment and great to hear from you (I'm always humbled to hear from people outside of the UK). Trust you're keeping well in these surreal times.
Very informative video I have 80 hinges to do so i bought the kreg concealed hinge jig but showing how to find info for the blum hinge was very much appreciated thank you
Wow, great video! This is what I’ve been searching for to finish my DIY hanging cabinet! Thank you Charlie!
Thank you ..I have asked a lot of carpenters and non of them helped and they all said oh it’s so easy ,,, thank you for this great video
This was very helpful. Thank you for making the video.
You're welcome 👍
A gift of a video. Ive got a box of old Ikea hinges that I wanted to use in the workshop I'm building from reclaimed wood and now I feel a lot more confident to do so. Thanks for sharing :-)
Excellent info on these hinges wasn't aware of the different cranks, much appreciated.
I bought a little plastic marking jig from eBay, for about £5.00 it did all sorts of concealed hinges, both the bore hole and hinge side.....did all 60 doors and still going strong!!! For just a £5 it beats pissing about measuring and marking out.
Can u send a link to the jig u bought pls?
For example this:
www.amazon.de/Hettich-Accura-Bohrschablone-Multiblau-351/dp/B00PXZU0W0
Thank you so much for the tutorial! I apreciate the effort explaining the catalogue, and those little tips that nobody teaches and are so needed when you have to put these hinges. I'm about to place my first ones and I bought a Forstner bit that I can use in my router, so that I can set the depth properly and keep the perpendicular exact. Greetings from Argentina. :)
Yes the router will give you a wonderful, perpendicular hole! Thanks so much for the comment, and good luck with the project. Humbled to hear from you in Argentina!
I'm about to purchase some new kitchen doors and make the cabinets myself, this video has probably saved me loads of heartache, many thanks
Just straight to the point teaching...👍
Thanks. Here's my most recent vid on this ua-cam.com/video/tdMnnkvInrE/v-deo.html 👍
Excellent video, I can't tell you how much research I have previously done, all to no avail, regarding the spacing of the hinges - wish I'd had this info 6 months ago. Thanks again.
Very helpful mate! I will be building a low-profile media cabinet for our home theater reno and this video has given me the confidence that this type of hinge will make doing inset doors no big deal. Thanks for doing all the research and hard work!
Terry Porter Thanks Terry! And I was in exactly the same position as you before I made this video. With a bit of good planning it's really quite straight forward. Go for Blum though. It's worth paying a little more for a quality hinge. Good luck!
I seen best explaining in UA-cam thx alote
Very grateful for your vids on this. And the other bespoke wardrobes. I am now planning a big DIY wardrobe job instead of paying IKEA. Respect mate.
Thanks Kenneth. I take it you've seen my most recent build (the 7 video series)? 👊
Holy macaroni, You definitely have the best install video! I've watched other videos and was always left with questions. Even the hinges I have are different brand, I know how to install them from looking at your video!
Thanks Steph - incredibly kind of you to take the time to comment. Good luck with the install 👍
Great video and really well explained :)
Thanks 🙏
Just found out that IKEA hinges are made by BLUM. Great value at £10.00 for 4 lay on hinges, two of which are soft close.
Wish I’d seen this video before rushing out and buying “soft close door hinge” lol didn’t realise how many different hinges you could get 😂 but at least I know how to fit them now haha! Thank you!
Thanks Steph. There's a bit more info in this video on the install side of things ua-cam.com/video/tdMnnkvInrE/v-deo.html 👍
Loved your video. Made it clear it is above my pay grade. A gift in itself. I will get the expert to do the job. Thanks for the detail; very helpful.
This video was perfect for me.
I built shop cabinets and then sought out any used hidden hinges I could buy cheaply. As a result I ended up with hinges I knew nothing about. Fortunately they were Blum but I've yet to determine exactly which they are so I can decide how best to install. Your video is helping me this.
You're welcome Dwayne. Apparently they've got a help line which is pretty good, so you could call them and get them to identify exactly what you've got any what they can be used for.
your videos are always great, thanks for the extensive coverage of the material and all steps
Thanks, I really appreciate that. You might this one useful too ua-cam.com/video/tdMnnkvInrE/v-deo.html
This is the most precise and well explained installation I have ever watched, nice vid mate
roderick villanueva Thanks for watching and thanks for taking the time to comment - comments like that make it all worthwhile :)
Although I've done a fair amount of woodworking in the past and have come from a career working in an Engineering department, not an actual Engineer myself though, these hinges were getting a bit baffling. Thanks for your explanations and pointing to Blum's resources. Both were very helpful in clearing things up. Well, I'll see how the install goes, but now I've got an idea at least. Thanks for your great video.
Thank you for the video--so very helpful! You are a great teacher and I am so grateful to have found your channel!
Rose Custer Thanks so much Rose!
Hello
Good
Charlie your videos are brilliant! Full of details and easy to follow. You just solved my soft close hinge problem on my kitchen cabinets. Keep up the great output you provide.
Hey Charlie, Great job, way past super professional! I installed a ton of these about 8 years ago, and as I tuned into the brochure on concealed hinges I was getting slightly overwhelmed using my brain power to re-connect to the intense specificity that Blum requires, This video was so VERY helpful in calming me down and YOU NAILED IT!! Thank you, great job, great articulation, fantastic deliver and super clear video work, thank you!!
You're incredibly welcome! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment - it means a lot. It takes an age to film and edit these videos, and yours and all the other positive comments help convince me to keep going!
Like you, I took an age researching how to fit these hinges. Some of these jobs look pretty intimidating but the point I'm trying to put across on my Channel is that anyone can do it if they put their mind to it, do the research and have a little help from people like me! Thanks again!
Charlie, thanks monstrously much for this helpful video. It demystifies the process sufficiently that even I can do it! Cheers from the States, mate. 💛😎
You're very welcome, Glen - really glad you found it useful, and great to hear from you Stateside!
so beautifully made. I really appreciate the way the expained every step in detail.
You're incredibly kind - many thanks for taking the time to comment!
This is exactly the info that I needed. Thanks 🙏
You're welcome and here's an update you might find useful ua-cam.com/video/tdMnnkvInrE/v-deo.html
