I wish every tutorial on CZcams was as clear and well structured as this one. Great video
Thank you! 👍
I second that, love that you don't talk lots of uneccessary nonsense like so many CZcamsrs. I tested the scribing method today from one of your other videos, thanks, it worked, my customer was happy with the results. Now I must just learn how to make the wardrobe doors close correctly, and not make "dogs ears" I think I joined the rails and stiles a bit crooked....
Really very helpful thanks a lot explains very well thank you
Once again, I’ve learned something about something that has frustrated me over the years. Thank you.
Here in USA. Really appreciate you passing on knowledge and advice and not a lot of worthless fluff. Thanks.
Thank you! 👍
Thank you Peter Millard for taking the time to upload this tutorial as it has provided me with much information that has helped me with re-surfacing kitchen cabinets. The detail and dimension provided is very useful. This tutorial and other similar tutorials you have taken the time and trouble to post online are invaluable.
I used these exact same hinges on a rebuild of my own kitchen 2 years ago. I do find that they have needed some fine adjustments after being installed for awhile. Other than that, I am happy with them. Thanks, Peter!
Thanks very much for this video, Peter. I've been intimated by these hinges and have been avoiding them for years, but this video completely demystified them for me and I'm going to give them a go. Thank you for all your helpful information (and cheerful style).
As others have stated. Thanks for rationalising the choices with Blum to 2 hinges and 2 mounting plates. Makes it so easy for the rest of us. Cheers.
At last, an easy to follow and comprehensive guide to fitting these hinges, thank you.
Hi Peter- thank you for the practical and straightforward demo and the part numbers too.
I’ve made a mental note to make sure I align the inset door with the inside edge of the carcass if using the inset style hinges.
Obviously your ‘deliberate mistake’ of using the marking up footage twice was to make sure we’re paying attention 😂👍
A
Perfect timing - thank you Peter! I've been trying to make sense of the Blum catalog recently - you've given me a shortcut to exactly the right item :-)
Glad to hear it Jeremy! There’s a hinge (and mounting plate) for every possible application, but these ones will do most of what most people want of a hinge 👍👍
Thank you for this. I need to use these kinds of hinges for the first time on a new project and had no idea what I was getting myself into. You've cleared it up, and now I know exactly what to buy and how to install them.
Thanks! Good to hear it’s helped! 👍
first 2 and a half minutes of this video made everything clear about these hinges for me, another amazing video
Thanks! 👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop ive been binge watching your old videos mate, really enjoying them, thanx
Appreciate the views! Thanks! 😆👍
I always enjoy the simplicity of your installs. You’re one of the top CZcams channels I always watch.
Thank you! 👍
My friend, I have been seeking a full video on these for some time. Just zone in on one hinge and give me a lesson. Brilliant. Thanks mate.
Glad it helped! And thanks! 👍
You are so good at educating the rest of us. Was always worried about putting in inset hinges now will give it a try.
Peter, thanks for the straight forward lesson. I'm getting ready to build a large kitchen. I'm swift at installing but I've always needed help with setting euro-hinges. This will do it for me.
Thanks Leo! 👍
This was a much needed video! When I was first learning how to install these it was hard to find a video that explained it so well.
Thank you! 👍👍
15 minutes well spent. Thank you for the information. You have given us escape route from sifting the 100 s of pages of technical specification.
Thanks! Yes, there's an awful lot of data to sift through! 👍
Of all the concealed hinge instructional videos I've seen, this is by far the most informative one.
Thank you! 👍👍
I'm building my first cabinet. I am a new Festool user and so far everything is going as planned. Because I am new to cabinet building, I try everything on scrap before making my cuts. I am getting ready to bore the shelf pins and hinge screw holes. I have been pulling my hair out trying to understand the process of hinge install. This short video totally simplified the process. I feel I can go straight out to the garage set the hinges... but I live in Florida and its hot, so the next cooler day will be hinge day. I have 15 cabinets to make. Great video.
Making my own hallway cabinets as a very unhandy person. These videos are an excellent guide on getting started! Thank you so much.
This has always been abit tricky for me to get right. Thanks to you, Life just got abit easier.
Glad to hear it, thanks! 👍
The first 2 minutes of this video answered all of my questions and was absolute gold. Thank you
I just wanted to thank you, I'm an illustrator so I don't know anything about woodworking, and your videos have taught me so much so fast is amazing, you are very concise and clear, and don't skip steps. And as a plus you also have a soothing calm voice, so you could almost classify your videos as ASMR, good quality education/entertainment.
Thank you! 🙌👍
when adjusting this type of hinge I find using a pozi drive screw driver better to seat into the screws.
Your choice to use the Blum hinges is the best.
Thank you so much Peter for your generous advice. It is paced enough to follow without having to endlessly rewind. Like others I have struggled with this for months trying to repair hinges on perfectly good cabinets. Mission accomplished thanks to you. Will be following your videos.
You're very welcome, appreciate the positive comment. 👍
Finally, a video clearly explaining this in a way that I think I can do. Thanks so much.
Do the door and the carcass have to be the same thickness? I'd like to put doors on a 2x4 frame.
No - these aren’t - but the thickness does have to be within the spec of the hinge. If you’re looking for a hinge that’ll do a full overlay on a 2” frame, then I’m pretty sure you’ll be out of luck - as always though, check the specs of the hinges you’re planning to use. 👍👍
This guy hinges
thanks Peter , gllad I found you, nothing like a Brit for just plain down to earth straightforward explanations, A brit myself living in canada a DIY guy about to make some plywood doors for my daughters existing open cabinets for her art prints (Jennas Doodles ) Ill be looking into you other videos as I attempt to build cabinets for other projects thank you so much Bill Gregory
Thanks for completely de-mystifying these things Peter. In one 15 minute video you have answered a lot of questions that the average once or twice a decade installer has.
Thanks Christopher! To be clear, all those hinges and hinge plates in that 125 page catalogue have their use, but for most people, for most uses, the hinges I talk about here cover 90% of what 90% of people want. 👍👍
This is a simple job which I am apprehensive of doing. Fitted loads of these but never on doors I have made myself. Great video, thank you!
Very focused, and no waffle. Excellent video!
I was trying to figure out what hinge I needed for my current project and luckily came across your video. I figured out what I needed. Thank you. I'm ordering some of the gigs you showed.
Thank you very much. I was having a little trouble attaching the hinge to the frame. You cleared it up immediately!!!!
Thanks Peter. From your video i discovered that there are three adjustments for the hinge. Something i never knew. Now i can fix my hinges properly. Thank you.
Thanks! 👍
Your obvious practical knowledge and experience has come to the fore in this video. Thank you for providing a straight-forward installation solution to what is often for many of us a somewhat taunting process.
Thanks! All those hinges and hinge plates exist for a purpose, of course, but for most people, and for most doors & applications, one of the hinges shown here will do the job just fine. 👍
The quality of the editing in this video is extremely solid.
Thanks. 👍
Very informative and so well spoken. Couldn't be clearer as so many how to videos are not. It was worth watching for the narrative abilities of the author alone.
Thank you! 👍👍
Clear, concise and easy to understand. I'm a complete novice. 👍
Thank you
Great ! It's Sunday and after listening your amazing video, I got the tools box and adjusted all cabinets hinges. Thanks for sharing !
👍👍
I’ve waited until I had a go at these before commenting but thank you so much!! I’ve never fitted cupboard doors so easily! These hinges are awesome and the little plastic jig makes them incredibly simple to fit. Thanks again!!
No problem, great to hear it helped! 👍
An absolutely brilliant video -- thanks so much for sharing your expertise and experience, you've really helped demystify a mind-boggling selection in the catalogue. Really gives a beginner some confidence in tackling a kitchen job. Your presentation is excellent.
Thank you! Glad it was helpful! 👍
Peter, greetings from Oregon, USA. We had blum hinged kitchen cabinets installed 25 years ago. The upper cabinet doors are 40 inches X 21 inches, with a glass inlay. One of the doors started to not close all the way. So I ordered new hinges (didn't know of lifetime warranty until your video). I'm now going to replace the three hinges and adjust them. Glad that I found your channel. Thank you,Russ
Thanks Russ! And greetings from London! 👍👍
these concealed hinges are a great invention. over the years undersink door hinges can go mucky a bit, from condensation and moisture from rubbish bins installed there. i replaced mine with the soft close, they're great. the other problem often experienced on high use doors, like those for accessing rubbish bins, the hinge side eventually can wear the mounting holes larger, due to all the movement.
An old video I know but it was just what I was looking for regarding concealed hinge fitting. I am embarking on my third set of fitted wardrobes for the missus ( one for each of the three homes we have lived in) I have previously done one in sliding door and the other in Bi-fold configurations. This is a bit of a challenge for me so here goes. Very informative thank you.
Thanks! Glad it helped - it's one of my most popular videos, folks just seem to keep coming back to it! 👍
I've needed this information for ten years. A big mystery for loads of jack-leg carpenters in Chicago!
Absolutely brilliant video Peter,I follow you and Andy on Instagram and CZcams all the time as you both have very informative content,this is probably the best one I've seen on concealed hinges because of the excellent detail you go into as far as measurement and adjustment of the hinges,Thank you so much for the time you take to show how easy some of the woodworking tasks can be if we just take our time and follow your instructions,keep them coming,can't wait to see your next video
Thanks! Good to hear they’re hitting the right tone 👍👍
Thank you stuck on hinge adjustment seems to be fine now never get use to them 😂👍
this is the best information I've found for making sense of concealed hinges. Thanks for bringing some clarity to the sea of information that is mind numbing for a newbie! And the part numbers, yeah!! I was literally about to buy the wrong hinges until I watched this.
Thanks! Yeah, they can be a bit of a minefield, there are so many to choose from! Glad it helped. 👍
Simply explained. Great upload. Thank you.
Thanks! 👍👍
I now find myself staring at my kitchen cabinets and thinking mmmh time for an upgrade....great video Peter keep up the good work.
Thanks Chris! 👍👍
Ohhh... finally... someone explained (a little) about how to mount the plate onto the carcass...
One of the best videos I've watched under this topic. Thank you so much.
Thank you! 👍👍
The CZcams algorithm has me perfectly profiled. What a great channel to have discovered. The ideal presentation style Peter, thanks for putting these guides together.
Thanks Michael, and welcome! Lots of back-catalogue to go through too! 👍👍😆
@@10MinuteWorkshop Absolutely, so much to keep me occupied, thanks Peter. All the best.
Instructive, educational & enjoyable to watch. Thanks heaps.
Thank you for an excellent and clear overview of concealed hinges. Very well done. 125 pages of Blum hinges explains why this is so confusing to those who don't use hinges every day.
Thank you! I think those 125 pages are pretty confusing for many of the guys who do use hinges every day, lol! 😂👍
Thank you. This was very useful for me to get my wardrobe door back on.
Glad to hear it, thanks! 👍
To-the-point with professionally detailed video. TY!
You're welcome! 👍
Hi Peter, I've been tasked (by Mrs H) to chop the top off a G-Plan wardrobe and make 2 bedside cabinets from the bottom, so I need to re-site the hinges. Having watched your video, I now feel more confident in fitting my first ever hinge. Thanks very much.
Thank you! 👍
Excellent video. Thank you.
I'm going to attempt this myself on the strength of this video.
Excellent news, and thanks! Let me know how you get on 👍👍
I've been doing cabinets for years but this video was presented in a way like no other I have ever seen the visual aspect was spot on (camera man} was a true professional the explanation was that of a true teacher (professor) great video one of the best out there Thanks Peter Brett from U.S.
Hi Brett, thank you! Really appreciate the feedback! Best wishes from London, Peter
Thank you for making this video. I am in the process of my first project that has involved a cabinet door and this video was so well done and easy to follow.
Thanks! 👍
Another great programme Peter. I've just signed up to your pattern as I feel I have had such great results from your tutorials. Keep up the good work buddy....
Thanks Mark & welcome to the Patreon party! There’s a behind the scenes special of this video out soon for my Patreon channel 👍👍
This channel has such concise and useful information, one of the best on wood working I've found. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Useful as always and saved to my "technique" playlist before it got as far as the jingle! - thanks
Haha, thanks! 👍
Nice clear info! Thanks peter! I've attempted to look through that catalogue before and quickly gave up
Ha! Me too! 😂👍
Really enjoyed the quick explanation at the start of the video!
Thanks! Just trying to change things up a little 👍
Best video I have seen on Blum hinges. Thanks Very Much!!
Thankyou for this! I bought some hinges from Amazon (not Blum, but very similar), your video led me in the right direction to work out how to fit them and the right borer bit I needed (which I should receive tomorrow). I'm building a large bike lockup (roughly 2m wide, 1m deep and 1.4m high), which is a battle with both hinges and the weather. :D
Very useful, thank you. These things have always been a mystery to me...Excellent.
Thanks! 👍👍
First time DIYing. This was the video that finally made me understand hinges. Thank you 🙏
Haha, thanks! Glad to hear it helped! 👍👍
@Michael Hiers Thank you! 👍
Wow thanks Peter, very informative. Never knew I needed you, until I needed you lol
My two kitchen doors have now been fixed thanks to you. 🙌🏽
Really pleased to hear that! Thank you! 🙌👍
Excellent video. Clear, concise information. Thanks very much.
Thank you! 👍👍
Peter, i've only recently found your channel. You've been a real help to me in my campervan recently with your brilliant videos on hinges and cabinets. Just had to say thanks for your efforts mate. CZcams at its best.👍
Thank you! Really appreciate the feedback! 👍
Marvellous insight Peter - thank you !
Thanks Gary! 👍👍
Perfect timing. I had just ordered hinges for a project I am working on so I canceled that order and have ordered these exact Blum hinges, Blum measuring guide and 35mm bit. Sure appreciate your opinion (it’s more than good enough for me) and the detailed video as I plan to review again.
Thanks! 👍
Omgoodness, I wish u were here right now helping me.. my arms r so tired.. I did realize, after I had all the hinges in place, that 2 were on opposite doors...I needed two lateral hinges on the same door!:)))
Thank You Peter. Very Clear Video!
I just wanted to let you know I am not installing hinges now or in the near future. I’ve never built a cabinet. But somehow you just convinced me to watch a 15 minute video about hinges.
Keep up the great work. Love you videos from the states.
Thank you! And best wishes from London. 👍👍
I manage a millwork shop using mainly blum hinges for the cabinet doors, this is a great video covering all the basics, well done.
That's great to hear, thanks! 👍
Thanks for simplifying this.
You just answered all my questions. Excellent video.
Just perfect. Thank you.
finally! walking trough a lot of unclear videos trying to figure out how to install those hinges.. thanks!! :)
Thanks! 👍
Hey Peter! Just wanted to say thank you! I built an obnoxiously large 3 meter tall cabinet and have never mounted cabinet doors before, let alone at this scale. I was worried. I used the hinges you recommended and it came out PERFECT. Thank you so much for your videos, they are so helpful! Happy New Years and best wishes.
Thank you! That's great to hear, and happy new year to you too! 👍 🍻
Thank you for a great video. Loved the straight forward quick intro followed by the more in depth to follow section. Loved that format. Learnt a lot thank you
Thanks! 👍
That was pretty in depth, clear and precise how to. 👌
Appreciate all your efforts, mate. 👍
Thanks Bill! 👍👍
Excellent explanation... Wonderful job.. Thanks very much sir....
Very helpful as always! Thank you so much for the education!
Thanks for the very informative video, it helped me repair my bathroom cabinet and save money and time.
Thank you so much for your video re cabinet hinges. Enabled me to sort my dad's kitchen cupboard door.
Jo
Great video and you explain everything so well, thanks a lot.
Brilliant video. Thank you
Just what I need. Many thanks! Great informative video as always.
Awesome video. I just needed to reattach a hinge but learned so much more. Thank you!
Thank you! 👍👍
Very interesting stuff Peter. Thanks for posting.
Thank you Mr Millard for this great video.
Pleasure, thanks for watching! 👍
This video and product information is very helpful. These will be my first inset doors (and drawers) I purchased inset hinges via US Amazon. Thank, and best from the US.
Thanks, much appreciated! And best wishes from London! 👍👍
