Hey Splintered, thanks for stopping back and taking the time to comment. I would suggest you buy them soon, even if you're not ready for them. They are about the cheapest hinges in the store and if they stop stocking them it's cost you way more. Be well .... Dave
I am so glad I found your channel. I am just about to decide how to construct my overheads, and what hinge system to use. These hinges are just what I was looking for. Thank you so much, new subscriber, Australia ❤
Hi Leanne !! So good to hear from you all the way in Australia !! Thanks for watching and thanks for taking the time to comment. The hinges were purchased at a Big Box builder supply store called Home Depot - I did a quick search on line and found these www.desertcart.com.om/products/530528564-10-pack-90-degree-soft-close-surface-mount-spring-hinges-easy-installation-no-pre-drilled-noiseless-frameless-hidden-concealed-kitchen-cabinet-hinge-for-cupboard-folded-replacement-hardware - I'm sure you could find some either in Australia or have some shipped in. They're a great hinge. Also - if you are designing your cabinets I would suggest building the cases (boxes) out of 5/8" plywood then applying a skin to finish them> The plywood will be strong and will stand up to the wear and tear of driving. We've got about 30,000 km on ours and they look like new. You find these videos of interest as well .... ua-cam.com/video/5F9jTAl6_6c/v-deo.htmlsi=9YHi7XkkEjtzV0wY and for doors ... ua-cam.com/video/3WSMSySXrU0/v-deo.htmlsi=YaiMjqDMaTKn74ef ... hope you'll stop back ... be well ...

This is what I’ve been looking for. I only have a circular saw and straight edge and was trying to figure out how to build my door without renting a router and table saw and now I feel like I can do without. Thank you!
Hi Ashton. You are welcome and I’m glad you found it useful. I too didn’t have a ton of tools. But it would hard to build the doors without a table saw ….. ua-cam.com/video/3WSMSySXrU0/v-deo.htmlsi=az5mXRbnDn08IPTD. However the cost can be very minimal. If you look for auctions and estate sales near you you’ll be surprised at how cheap things can be. Here is what I used in my shop. ua-cam.com/video/latceInzQug/v-deo.htmlsi=QHNVto_i6UsP4-hk good luck.
I love these hinges and want to use them in my build but how do you make sure that the door stays shut when everything is moving around inside when driving?
Hi Lucy - thanks for watching and asking .... In the video I mention that I built a 1" lip into the bottom of the cabinet. What it really is - the outside (front) piece of the plywood box is 1 inch higher than the inside bottom of the cabinet. This lip prevents anything from sliding out as you drive. The stuff never gets as far as the door. We've never had anything fall out. Good luck and I hope you'll stop back ..... Dave
Hi Bianca - thanks for watching - these hinges don't seem to have a name - I can't post a photo here but if you send me an email at vanofaction@gmail.com I'll send you back a photo of the Home Depot bin they came out of .... I hope that helps .... Dave
No - I think 1/2" would be too light. I do appreciate you watching and asking .... the torque these hinges have is surprising ..... if you're door stock is only 1/2" the screw you use will be shorter ....and they just can't hold. Good luck .. dave
That’s what I’m going to buy!

@@VanOfAction Thanks for responding!! so there is noting that "clips" the cabinet door into the frame to keep it from opening while driving?
Very helpful video, would be great to know the name/style of the hinges though.

They are called lay-on hinges or Frog Hinges, at least in Ireland and UK. Very helpful vid!
Do you think half inch would be strong enough to handle the force needed to open the hinge without tearing out?
No - I think 1/2" would be too light. I do appreciate you watching and asking .... the torque these hinges have is surprising ..... if you're door stock is only 1/2" the screw you use will be shorter ....and they just can't hold. Good luck .. dave
