Installing concealed hinges on a cabinet door can be done yourself.#DIY This method requires no jig or template and very minimal tools. Installation of each hinge is virtually the same. These hinges are designed to mount to the back of the door. A forstner drill bit is required to drill the door to allow for the cup hinges. If you are looking to replace your worn out hinges for some nice and shiny Blum hinges, look no further!

Even though you only explained half of the process, I really appreciate you detailing the exact measurements of where to drill the hole. Other videos just use a fancy tool that is preset and they don’t explain the measurements.
I appreciate your cadence of "direct to the point," with a touch of "funny."
Definitely need a video about how to actually hand these inside cabients/install the baseplate and get good alignment and angles on the open and close of the cabinet door.
Liked the video. Is there one on how to mount the brackets to these? My interest is in inset doors. Thanks
Great explanation! Very easy and good humor! I am a woman learning sone new carpentry skills and this was perfect!
Simple, explained, esp paralleling the hinges, not jigs. NO assuming or guess work.
Clear and concise, I too would like to see the next part for hanging the doors.
Yes, the part demonstrated in the video looks easy enough. Now what is the easy part to hang the doors?
Great tip on getting hinges square when self centering screw holes!
The order of installation and straight edge were very helpful, thank you.
1. measure and drill the holes
2. align both hinges with a straight edge
Loved the video. Now need to know how to properly locate the bracket the hinge locks onto inside the cabinet. Flat wood. No shelf pin holes
the tricky part is fitting the door onto the base. How do you make sure you put the base hardware on in the right spot so both parts align.
very good. would like to see the hanging part with adjustments etc.
…”and by WE I mean ME” 😂🤣😆 love it. And then I subscribed lol. Keep ‘em coming. Appreciate the humour and honesty.
Nope. You don't suck! This was great. Would have loved to see the door hung, but this was great. Thank you!
Excellent!! Thanks for the links, and for being so friendly and capable!
Thanks, have to do one of these tomorrow. Don't want yo have to invest in a jig, or make one just for one job. This has helped me out. Thanks mate 👍
Btw, after watching your video, I used your method to install these hinges in a cabinet without spending any money on a “jig”. That would have been a waste of money! Thanks
Thanks brother,this is the exact explanation I wanted
You said you would bring your measurement out "about" 7/8 inch.
I'm about to fit HOME half overlay hinges. Is there not a definite distance to mark from the edge for each make of hinge?
The packet my hinges came in has no measurements diagram, but only mentions the 35 mm for the cup.
Thanks very much
Same here! No diagram, so I have to guess? I think I'll mock a cabinet next to the frame to mark and measure the correct distance from the edge.
Ah well it got done..gonna do a corner double door next....bloody expensive Hafele
Doing some doors now. The trick with stright stick should really help.Thanks
I love you Jason. I was about to buy $300 worth of tools to put up $30 cabinet doors
This is the best video I’ve seen on installing European hinges-and I’ve watched quite a few! Thanks.
That was a great video. Love your personality and clear, concise instruction. Thank you man!
4:50 That trick with the scrap is genius!
What about the rest of the process to actually install the “pretend door”?
Classified.
Exactly ! Only half of the job on this video, what about the second half where you are locating the other halves of these hinges inside the cabinet and then finally completing the job by hanging the cabinet door !
I agree.. That was the easy part lol
@@susannolan6292 This guy explained it great... And then didn't finish it !
Not subscribing because you didn’t finish the process… would have been an immediate follow if you did
Thanks for the help. You may want to mention for us to make sure left or right side hinge install.
Thanks man you really helped me ,others only give measures in mm.
Your video was adequate for the purpose. Thanks.
Does the 7/8" inset distance change with 1/2" overlap door, or inset doors? How to determine different inset distances for different door thicknesses and overlay dimension?
I have been wondering the same
Same here
Same question
What's an easy method of marking where the cabinet end of the hinge is to be mounted in the cabinet?
JIM
Video was great... but you only covered half the problem. OK so now I have one half the hinges in. Next comes the critical alignment into the cabinet box... but you stopped before we got to the part.
Ok thank you for that BUT what about the other end where those hinges go into?
Thanks Jason for your video. I was really worried about doing it myself, but I did exactly what you demonstrated & my concealed hinges are installed perfectly, and without the expense of a jig. I did it; phew. Thank you!
Awesome! Way to go!
Nicely explained, good work sir
Lovely half of a video. What's an inch?
So wanted to clarify. The hinges you measured were 3” down by 7/8” in. Is that standard?
All great and easy but how do you do the other part??
You forgot the most important part. Puting the hinges together! Attaching the door to the cabinet!
Natural brother, awesome !
Ok you made it simple thanks for not wasting my time
Easy, quick, understandable. Thank you!
Cant seem to find a good video of how to actually install the door to the inside of the cabinet. Once the hardware is placed into each side it seems like they have to clip into each other. I find this to be a difficult process, one of mine fell out and I can't get it back in. Ended up removing the top hinge and now I can't get any of the two back on. On most videos you just see the person pressing and they're done. I've tried to press in many different ways and adjust before pressing in different ways but they don't go in. Please help.
I need help. 😫 trying to replace all my cabinet hinges because the ones that came with my cabinets are cheaply made. They are snapping. However mine seem like they have some type of riser which is making it difficult for me to chose new hinges.
nice job jason with the video I returned the kreg jig and will try it your easy way but i don't see the links.. please advise
not going to lie. Not looking forward to trying to drill 1 3/8" into Melamine. would love to your tips/tricks on how to install door onto the actual cabinet.
p.s. love the relaxed delivery of your message. good camera presence.
Its harder to do than you think as i found out a few years ago. So just ordered a jig £30 now its way better...
Okay Jason, how about the second part - mounting plate installation - depth etc. etc.
:)
Cool video. 👏👏. Is the 7/8 from the edge standard for inset hinges, overlay or half overlay?
Great video, was very useful. But now I want to know how to install the mounting plates in the box with just a tape measure.
Thats the easy part, how about finishing the job. The par I wanted to see was the installation to the cabinet.
Apart from the archaic measurement units, this was a great video. The best I've seen which shows how to mount his style hinge.
Raica varaitaka kece mai cicilevu. Only for the door? What about attaching it. Sona duka
Great video. I have oak cabinets with exposed hinges. I want to keep the same oak and color. Could I take them off and do this or would it look bad?
Short and sweet straight to the point thanks! 👍🏾
What about putting it on the cabinet
Where is the rest of it? How do you hang them!
Thank you Jason, I really appreciate your video. It helped me a lot.
give the numbers on cm too and it would be great if you conected the door to other scrap wood
Very well done! Thanks!
very good explanations
What about mounting it to cabinet..
Why does no-one ever show how to actually attach the door? Does it need to be offset anywhere???
A significant part of this video is missing: how to line up the hinge mounting plates to the frame and actually mate the hinge with the plate where everything lines up correctly, so the word "install" in the video title is a bit misleading. Is there another video that completes the installation?
I am wanting to make my own doors and drawers. No design or routing work, just plain and I will paint them. What kind of wood do you suggest? Plywood?? I know I will have to sand quite a bit
Yes a furniture grade plywood would work great! You actually will not have to sand much at all.
I plan on picking up a vix bit for drilling the pilot holes using the same Blum hinges. How deep do they drill? My cabinet door and frame are from 3/4” plywood.
Thx you looks really easy
When you open the package the first thing you do is find the nearest garbage can and dump the philips head screws into it and get some screws with robertson head and save yourself some trouble with installation.
Thanks, it's really helping, you did a great job
oops I just found them thanks again!
Thank you for enlightenment.
That was the easy part, now show how you attach the hinges to the cabinet please.
Great video quick and easy 👌
Great stuff. Thank you.
Hey Jason, this is only half of an installation, what about the other side of the hinges? My door ended up with gap.how you measured the hinges inside to avoid gaps or overlap?
Flip the hinge with the mounting plate up,,then measure from the door to the centre of the mounting plate,,usually 30mm,,but come back a few mm to,28mm,,and mark where the holes are going,(drill the holes with the screws for the mounting plate) take the mounting plate of ,and centre it on your marks and screw to the carcass ,then spring the hinge onto the mounting plate,,( best try a trial run first on a scap piece, ),,hope that was helpful,,👍🏴👍🏴
Free for all down here, woohoo !
how do you fasten them to the cabinet in the right place,do you need a jig ?
What I do is hold The door and the proper position with the hinge against the cabinet and carefully open the door and make a mark on the bottom of the plate. This works really well to get a ballpark measurement and make a spacer that will hold the hinge along with the door in the proper position to screw it in.You can also go by the manufacturers recommendation of where to put the holes but depending on if it's insane overlay etc Just seems to be the easiest way to at least get one especially when you have like 20 more doors to do after the fact.Thank you very much for watching this video I really appreciate it and I hope this helped please let me know if you have any more questions.
Doing it With jason I was also only looking for guidance on how to align the holes on the cabinet itself. The doors seem easy, it's more a matter of having the right tools. Aligning inside the cabinet seems trickier and more worthy of a video IMO
What about hanging the door?
Love this video. Huge help! Thanks!
Why work in inches?
So why not show the whole process. Finish installing the door on a cabinet.
you have a universal hinge with no datasheet. how can you tell how much the off set should be? in your case it's an eighth of an inch offset.
You can go on Blum website they have that many hinges these are on page 98/99
Jason for the price of the 2 bits you recommend you might just as well buy the jig kit. it is 2 dollors less.
Oh! Good deal! I didn't realize they had a kit!
So.... now, what do you do with the door??
Thank you
Good info, but You hold a pencil funny and I can’t unsee that
2 Esdras 7:75
I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times.
78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times.
88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders.
92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come;
and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified.
99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations."
102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." .....2 Esdras 7:75

The hard part is hanging the other part of the hinge! Otherwise nice video.
Only half of the job on this video, what about the second half where you are locating the other halves of these hinges inside the cabinet and then finally completing the job by hanging the door !
Great job !!! Chapeau
Thanks
Is that Mr. Swirly behind you from "Pete & Pete?"
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. Just installed two cabinet doors that went in perfect using your tutorial. 👊 (I subscribed)
New friend Goodluck, full support.
It would be helpful to see you install the second part of the hinge, But you knew that????
Great Video and right on time. You saved my ass.
Great to hear! Was the video detailed enough? I always wonder if my videos have enough details to help people per there experience
@@DoingitWithjason I thought it had the perfect amount of detail. When I took on this project, I was thinking of using a router bit or a dremel to drill out the hole. I was able to buy the drill bit at lowes for 13 bucks. I was concerned about measuring and keeping the holes centered and square and was just going to wing it :-) You made it simple and easy to measure and keep everything perfect. I have to do it tomorrow. I hope I don't screw it up. I only have 1 shot at it.
Ugh. What about the other part? I’m only half done now😩
LOL I just asked the same question.
ua-cam.com/video/CsDqZGQH8II/v-deo.html This a video on the other half of the hinge he forgot to show us.
Gina & Steven I am asking the same. If can't do the other part correctly, we know what will happen.
You only completed half of the hinge install.
Good video. LOL at 4:25
Great video, Jason. Like Harry Powers, I have seen many videos on installing these hinges, most of the time using jigs, but yours was the best, by far. It shows jigs aren't really necessary at all(maybe if you make them en masse they'd be useful?). Liked & subscribed. Also, you may -- mayyyy -- want to give links to Amazon products in different countries. I can't use your link as I'm in Canada. Cheers!
Thanks 👍
Get need how many inch egged side?
Nice work!
Thanks Regor!
