Thanks. What was the 3mm and 4mm you were referring to ? The distance of the large hole from the edge ?

[@ClassicActWorkshop]

Yup, correct. The milescraft is adjustable from 3-7mm I believe.

@@ClassicActWorkshop Ok, so the closer it is to the edge ( 3 mm ) the more adjustment you have ? Thanks.

Well I was targeting a 1/8" gap in all my doors. The hinge said it should be 3mm. When testing, 3mm was right on the limit of getting to a small 1/8" gap with the hinge adjustment. So 4mm or 5mm just makes sure I have enough adjustment.

The hinge has adjustability, but still needs to have the right range of adjustment to make sure the door gap is right.

@@ClassicActWorkshop Ok, so you had to drill the hole a little further into the door, now I get it. Thanks for that. I know I have a mistake somewhere in doing this. 🤪
