Even in 2023, this is still useful information. This was my first time installing these on a custom cabinet I made from scratch. Worked great and the adjustability gave me a perfect gaps and lines.
Jesus Christ, I've been researching these hinges fr days. All I wanted was a video that said "this is what the hinges are", and "this is how you fit them". This is the first video I've come across that actually explained it. Much appreciated!
Just found this two years late. Great information. I've been building cabinets for 40 yrs, but always faceframe with conventional hinges. The high-end custom mnfcts (that I compete with...picking up the crumbs) are now using a very clever combination of frameless and framed components and every combo of concealed hinge you can imagine - it's been a steep learning curve. In my experience Blum does kill the competition - better built and more innovative- you can almost always find a hinge that will fit whatever you're trying to do. That said, I'm still learning and discovering new ways to do things.
Hi Joey, wanted to thank you specifically for the tip on installing inset hinges, without the proper hinge, which is exactly what I needed on one of my projects. As always, great work. Take good care.
Excellent video - completely cleared up all the gaps in my knowledge - even tells me that 18mm thick doors will work and also how I will have to modify my existing carcass to accomodate these hinges.
hi Joey just wanted to say a big thanks this video has been a huge help as I am changing the doors in the kitchen in my new house and you have just saved me a fortune. big thanks Richard.
Excellent video! Very comprehensive. I'm just fascinated by the incredible engineering that goes into these hinges. They really thought of everything and allowed a lot of tolerance.
Awesome video brother, thank you. It helped me solve my uneven door issue. I was wondering what that 3rd screw was for. Didn't know it was that simple to raise the door 🫣
Thank you very much I have not had any experience with different type of hinges or types of screws either so really great help for us folks that are just beginning to want to learn the basics. You did a wonderful job explaining about this particular hinge. I had know idea there are adjustable hinges.
Great info, only video I have been able to find that explains more than just how to drill the 35mm hole...many others briefly discuss overlays but for the life of me I could not find any info on which plate I needed for full or half overlay...now I can order the hinges and plates online without being overcharged by a retail outlet...thx so much!
Thank you. The story stick will help me greatly. I'm mounting a very heavy mirror (30-40 lbs) & will use multiple hindges and was unsure how to get accuracy for the carcass portion for mounting.
It might not be a Sheraton chair, but that was extremely useful and informative. I had no idea of the basics, although I have put in dozens of conventional hinges. I had no idea there were so many types, much less that there were half-coverage and full coverage, and that these things can be adjusted. Thanks very much!
Hey Joey, Very informative, I've been playing these style hinges, but are about 20 yrs old. The ability to make the finer adjustments on the newer hinges is awesome. I think I'll lash out & buy the newer hinges next kitchen reno I do :) Thanks for the Vid. cheers Steve
When I was in cabinetmaking school I learned how to use those hinges, but I never liked them. My favourite cabinet hinges are Youngdale hinges. I dunno if they get much use outside of the US, but I love them because they're cheap and easy to use, you just cut a 7mm slot on the back of the door and then screw them in.
For euro hinges it is pretty simple. The hole in the door is 35mm in diameter, 12mm deep, and should be 5mm from the edge (or 22.5mm if measured from edge of the door wing to the center of the hole). The cabinet part is even simpler. Holes are 5mm diameter, 32mm apart and should be 37mm away from the edge of the cabinet side edge.
This is totally not always the case, there are so many different types of hinges and relevant drilling positions that this generic simplified information is not really helpful unless you specify which hinge and type you are talking about.
grateful sir.. i was hunting for vdo to fix my wardrobe hinge which had flipped open and could not be put back.. thx fr your super video unscrewed the separated part on other side first flipped it back in the other part and then screwed the other part flush on right position again
Hi Joey.....I know of these hinges as Euro hinges here in Aus for frameless cabinets. I think in the US they tend to like using face frames for cabinets and so use more conventional hinges........you are right they are pricey at Bunnings/ mitre 10 but I tried buying from a kitchen supply place and as I wasn't in the trades weren't interested in selling to me.......go to Bunnings was their suggestion!!! Enjoy your tutorials....cheers
SimopsAus hi, yeah the Americans seem to like there face frames, seems like more hassle than framless. admittedly I will buy from bunnings when I need 1 or 2 things. anymore and I'll order it. if you have a big order (for you) and tell them your a furniture maker they'll most likely give you a cash account .
That was really helpful and easy to understand! Thank you. Still not exactly the right hinges for my project but still really helped. Anyone know what sort I need when although the door is full overlay.. hard to explain!.. there is a frame within the cupboard that is only 2 cm wide to attach the bit that would normally attach to the carcus?...
can you change an old hinge with a new-age hinges? we need to order for a double-door of a side kitchen cabinet. can you please tell us how to choose them (to join the 2 parts, not join the cabinet itself)?
We have a 45° corner kitchen cabinet with these style hinges. The hinges are over 30 years old and have broken. Having a hard time determining what degree/° and style to replace the hinges with. What can you recommend? The cabinet is not a "lazy susan" style. It's just inset into the corner on a 45°with a normal cabinet door.
It depends a bit on how the carcass is made. It could be that the carcass box is on a 45deg with some voids to each side which you cant access. In this case a standard hinge like in this video would work , full or half cover or insert (depending on how the doors are set up) alternatively the carcass is made to fit the corner fully , in which case the carcass wall (where the hinges attach) are in line with the closed door. Again it depends how the cabinet is made here too most likely your after a 'cranked' hinge. Best thing is to take some pics and show your local hardware guys.
You didn't show how the hinges snap together and release. Are the hinges German? One of my doors doesn't close fully, what's the remedy please and your video is very informative.
Is there any reason not to install the bore side of a hinge in the cabinet instead of the door for an inset door? It seems like then the bulky part of the hinge would be out of your way instead of inside the cabinet.
Yes, that is the way the hinge is supposed to be installed. The geometry of how the door opens will not be correct, also they will not adjust correctly.
Thank you, thank you the half covering information was exactly what I was looking for. Can any full overlay hinge be adjusted to only cover half of the frameless frame?
May I ask what those plastic "anchors" are called. It seems after a while my screws end up loosening and nobody here checks on them and they/the door end up getting leaned on and the threading from the wood side gets damaged and the screws fall out and get lost. I was thinking of just filling the holes with the missing screws with epoxy and replacing the screws.
Can anyone help me here... The doors on my cabinet and cuboard are like half inch overhang on both sides... I am trying to replace the frameless hinges with better ones but twice I have been to home Depot to get desired hinges. All of which are making the door short. What do I mean by short? Once installed, the door is short by is like 1/2- 3/4 inches from where the opening is. It's like the current hinges I'm getting placing the door 1-1 1/2 inches overlap on one side. Any suggestions???

Just watched your video to fix a hinge that was preventing the cabinet from opening all the way. Thanks so much. Saved me a fortune.
I'm ready to install my first set of hinges. This video is very informative. Thanks for the tutorial.!
Excellent video - completely cleared up all the gaps in my knowledge - even tells me that 18mm thick doors will work and also how I will have to modify my existing carcass to accomodate these hinges.
learned more in 5 minutes watching video than trial & error in past30 years. Thankyou!

This is the best explanation for 0 degrees and 8 degree concealed hinges.
Thank you.
nice instructional video and.... nice T-shirt ! May the kitchen hinges be with you !
I'm not feeling the kitchen hinges line, should have 'used the Forks' charlie, Use the Forks.........( mine is worse than yours, best wishes)
Made a makeup table for the wife, needed some help with the hinges for the doors. This video was superb help! Thanks!
I've used the hinges for years but never thought about the story stick. Thanks Joey
This is the best instructional video on using these hinges I've watched. Thank you.
Just came across this video. Took a lot of confusion out of the placement of these hinges. Thanks again!
Thank you very much, with your help we were able to fix a broken cabinet door.
I couldn't get my medicine chest door off of my new one, this allowed me to take it off and install a new cabinet! Thank you so very much!
Awesome video brother, thank you. It helped me solve my uneven door issue. I was wondering what that 3rd screw was for. Didn't know it was that simple to raise the door 🫣

I love those hinges- easily adjustable and with the clip-on attachment you can even make them soft close.

Thanks for the easy explanations - makes sense of it all now.
Love your Videos, Joey!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and wisdom.
Thank you - super helpful. Now I’m off to the garage to attempt hanging my first doors.....cross your fingers.
Hey Joey,

Great explanation and demonstration! You just answered a lot of my hardware questions. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the great introduction to kitchen hinges, and just at the right time for my project.
Thanks for sparing us the musical introduction
Excellent content! Thank you very much for the hard work to produce it.
So we're not gonna talk about his awesome T-shirt?! :) I came for the hinge talk; I liked for the fashion.
Brilliant explanation.. many thanks for posting

really useful video, i've used the 'easy hinge' type kitchen hinges before but knowing how to use would be handy as they're much more versatile
Crystal clear just what I needed - look forward to some other vids - Thanks BigTime
Thank you very much Joey, very useful for beginner like me
Great video, just what I was looking for. Great information and explanation.

Just had to remind myself what's what with these from Queenstown NZ .
THANK YOU, Joey!!! This was incredibly helpful...:-)
Nice job mate, thanks.

Thanks Joey, good overview and some helpful advise.
Great vieo and very detailed
My door fell of the mounts and I cannot get it back on.....
Your a great teacher
Hi Joey.....I know of these hinges as Euro hinges here in Aus for frameless cabinets.

Enjoy your tutorials....cheers
SimopsAus hi, yeah the Americans seem to like there face frames, seems like more hassle than framless. admittedly I will buy from bunnings when I need 1 or 2 things. anymore and I'll order it. if you have a big order (for you) and tell them your a furniture maker they'll most likely give you a cash account .
Awesome, I got what I came for inside the first minute!
Great video again. same story about the price in the US. hope your planning on putting out a video on the cabinets they look nice.
no vid for this kitchen, but ill be showing one coming up very soon. cheers
12:59 to ffwd to adjusting hinge
Yes, please get to the point
That was really helpful and easy to understand! Thank you. Still not exactly the right hinges for my project but still really helped. Anyone know what sort I need when although the door is full overlay.. hard to explain!.. there is a frame within the cupboard that is only 2 cm wide to attach the bit that would normally attach to the carcus?...

and your video is very informative.
sir how fix this broken.. means it is broken from last spring side and it is not good fitted while closing.
Exceptional content very informative....
Great work my Kiwi friend from the UK.....
Thanks very your great tutorial
Thanks very helpful and easy to follow.

Yes, that is the way the hinge is supposed to be installed. The geometry of how the door opens will not be correct, also they will not adjust correctly.
Good video, thanks...(carpenter UK)
Thank you, thank you the half covering information was exactly what I was looking for. Can any full overlay hinge be adjusted to only cover half of the frameless frame?
Hi from Tauranga. very useful video thanks
Is it 37mm from the edge to screw holes ?
Great info. Keep up the great work!!
Very Good video. Great job, Thanks
+meechu633 cheers all good
this is the best. thanks.
That's great, thanks for your sharing.
Good information mate. Could you also cover those blind corner hinges I can never understand them. For corner cabinets
hmm probably wont do a vid just on them , there are a few options for corner units most however work the same way with full and half cover though.
KingPost TimberWorks ok mate. Il be watching your uploads anyway. Your awesome. Keep on skating
What degree overlay hinges would i need for a diagonal cupboard so that the doors open out enough?
May I ask what those plastic "anchors" are called. It seems after a while my screws end up loosening and nobody here checks on them and they/the door end up getting leaned on and the threading from the wood side gets damaged and the screws fall out and get lost. I was thinking of just filling the holes with the missing screws with epoxy and replacing the screws.

Once installed, the door is short by is like 1/2- 3/4 inches from where the opening is. It's like the current hinges I'm getting placing the door 1-1 1/2 inches overlap on one side. Any suggestions???
Hard to say without a pic. Could be that the hinge mount is a 9 or 18mm and should probably only be 0mm mount. Find me on Instagram and send me a pic
Nice t shirt sir. .. thanks for the info.
I finished knowing more than I started with so that's a result.
Please please can u show how to keep door in that ?
Very very informative 💯🎯thank you!
For the half overlay hinges, what is the minimum overlay they can be adjusted for?
I think in theory 6mm. But you can add a bigger hinge mount say 2mm instead of 0mm and get what ever you want.
Perfect video !!
Thank you for your lessons.
I have these and the screws that hold the arm side keep backing out. What large size screws would you recommend to replace?
Probably need a 5mm euro screw
Brilliant well explainied, Ill book mark as a reference
Thanks very much. Great Video.
