- čas přidán 14. 01. 2019
- Today we take a look at how to choose concealed cabinet hinges and we make a hinge jig, or template, to aid in the installation process. This jig didn’t take that long to build and not only did we use free scraps to make it, it should last a long time, saving time and money in the long run. There are links below for all the things we used to get this done!

![How to fit concealed (Euro-style) hinges for overlay & inset cabinet doors [video # 348]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/-Y6MEQlFEhQ/mqdefault.jpg)
Thank you, your explanation of different overlays and cabinet types was super helpful and easy to understand. Really appreciate you making these videos.

Thank you. I got a mostly-made cabinet. I finished the drawers (never made them from scratch, but this was a chore). Now to hang the doors. Your video is great.
Great video with tips! I learned in the 1st 2 minutes that my current cabinets can be flush to the frame with a full overlay hinge. Thank you!
Dude, thank you for the tips! I'm definitely going to buy me a set of self centering drill bits. A must have!
Thanks for the video. Genuine, straight-forward, emphasis at where it needs to, no BS.
I did just use the Kreg jig for drilling the holes for the Blum hinges. Worked great. I did not use the two little holes to locate the screws to fasten the hinge but rather placed the hinge and used the pilot bits you showed. I do not build anything for a living so the Kreg system is fine.
Good tips. I use the easy disconnect Blum hinges. One tip you could try is using a straight edge across both hinge bases as you screw it down as that also helps to keep the pivot perfectly aligned. I think I will make some jigs like yours.
Great content, thank you. I really like the way you put the measurements on the piece of wood in the video.
Excellent video, especially liked how you added the measurements for your jig. Subscribed.
Thanks for sharing! Your video is exactly what i need at the moment. More power to your channel!
I have plans to make a secretary desk out of a bookcase, with cupboards below that open to sit flush with the bookcase sides, so the desk flap sits on top of the cupboard doors. This video has been really helpful. Thanks!
Awesome, very helpful video. We are going to replace all the hardware firm our kitchen cabinets and I will be able to use this video to help understand how to go about it.
Very clear and sensible. The templates are clever, and would be very useful if doing a lot of doors. What I most liked was the visual discussion in the beginning where you show how things fit together.
Self Centering Hinge Bit, I never knew it existed and thank you so much for sharing that tip. That will make my project so much easier. Thanks Bro!!
Just saw this - I like the durable version made from the paper template. I also have to give a thumbs-up on your "coffee" mug. I need one of those.
Nice DeWalt radial arm saw in the background. I've got the same one. I'm currently restoring it. Great video.
Oh sweet! I can’t wait to get mine going. Actually all it needs is a blade and to be adjusted to the table. Thanks for watching!
Okay very good info thanks, because hinges come is such a variety of styles and quality you could do a weekly video on that by it's self.
And buy hinges from Amazon or China for lower cost some do not come with any INFO , so your setup (jig) could be a good starting point to have.
I was looking for so information on how install a set cheap hinges and found a PDF from Blum that is 110 pages long (Concealed Hinges)
so your help in this area is very much needed.
Thanks for your time that you give to help newer wood workers.
Mr D. Forth Worth TX.
Thanks man. I’m jumping in with my first cabinet doors this week. I’m going for the big ones (2440x 510) so i need all the help i can get!
Great job. And for once a video that moved at the right pace. Much appreciated by an English guy in France.
Man...I got trouble with understanding of all kinds of hinges which one for this door and others for what.....what the hhhh! Now I got them all from this channel. Thank so much
Thanks for the video. Your technique is great! Great Hat.
Great looking forward to the weekly tip thing
Very informative and explained very well. Thanks!
First time here; thank you for sharing. Good information on the cabinet type. I hope you have a video regarding to different types of hinges.
Thank you, nice video, and nice one. Excellent and helpful video.
Thank you so much . It is ever informative... Cheers
I think its great when video makers don't assume we know stuff that is common knowledge if you're in the trade. We watch youtube because we don't know this stuff. Great video, thanks.
really really nicely done! Thanks Jodee!!
Pretty useful. Thanks for sharing!!
Very well explained. Thank you.
Great work!
Simple and to the point, thank you. 😎
Good video. Thanks for taking the time to make it. Good information. By the way, I love the mug!!!
Love the templates. I will try to make mine out of aluminum possibly since I am a fabricator by trade. (maybe even adjustable..?) I watched another video earlier which was kind of hoaky. Although, one good thing I did take from it was (on the door side) pressing a straight edge against both hinge flanges to square them instead of trying to eye ball them or having to layout the screw holes by hand. Not sure that will make sense when reading...
Thank you for a very informative video.
AS always an excellent video, thank you
Nice! Thanks for the tips!
Nice info my friend you give me an idea the best
Great vid. Would love to see the finished product of the computer cabinet you made
Thanks for the info I needed this
Thanks for the great tip!😃
Thanks for showing how and sharing that
I like your making this things!
After buying one piece surface mount soft close hinges and trying to install and adjust them, I'll gladly pay the 50% premium to use a quality hinge. For me, I went with Blum, yet the biggest reason was they adjust three ways and you can remove the door from the cabinet by un-clipping the hinge from the mount. I did shell out $30 for a Kreg concealed hinge template, which worked great. I made my own mount hole guide versus paying $8 for one, but I had the material and it only took an hour. One problem I did run into was that the package said they were half overlay (3/4 cabinet), but they only overlayed a maximum of 5/16 and I needed 3/8, so I'm figuring that issue out. Don't go cheap on your hinges!
Really helpful, thanks again.
Thanks for this 🤙🏻
Very good idea. Thank you very much
TFS!! This video explained everything I wanted to know
thank you for showing this
Great informative video!
Great help. Thanks.
Just a simple question Jodee: What type of hinges did you use for the frameless cabinet?
Thank you, that was helpful
Jody thus was very helpful as I am about to install Blum on a frame insert. Do you have a video for that?
Very interesting job God bless you Shankar from Hyderabad India India
another great and very valuable tip, thanks for posting , from Garry in the UK , or English old fart to my friends lol
Ty, for the great tip!!!
Vinaka bro...really help me out on my DIY project😊
Great info..
Awesome brotha, thanks!
Awesome video. Great information. Probably whiskey, nice touch. Thanks bro
I like your coffee cup!
Great video and tip, only thing I would do different if I made the jig is put the hinge model or type with the jig, but that's just because I have the memory of a squirrel.
Ha! You and me both. Yeah I forgot to say that and I haven't even put them away yet, but that is a great idea! Especially if you don't need them again for a while.
- Thanx for your tips. They're very practical & helpful. In the near future, would you give tips on making/installing drawers ??? Thanx again.
Thanks for watching! Funny you mentioned drawers because I planned on making a video about drawers when I did this (I was already making some at that time) and I didn't have time to film. I will add it to the list! Thank you!
thank you for explaining this to a guy who is self educating himself on how to make cabinets. i just screwed up a small one i made for practice and got frustrated .... i should have watched this first
Great video. Cheers for tsaknig the time to do this. Great for someone like myself who knows next to nothing about hinges!
Very nice!
Love your videos! Question, what hinge is this that you are using in the video, and, do you think it would work on a drop down door for a concealment shelf build?
Thank you!
Very informative, thankyou. I have the same style 90degree hinges on a full overlay framess cabinet. On one set of doors i am needing to open the doors more to say 165-180degress. My question is, can i remove the existing 90degree hinges and replace it with a 165-180 degree hinge? Do i have to remove both the mount side and the hinge side?
Thanks in advance
Great info and I loved the self-centering bit info. Will the insert hinges work on 3/8 inch plywood? sometimes the foster point can go through the door? I can only use the 3/8 thick material to build the little library project. Loved all the teaching here... And making a jig saves a bunch of money here, esp. when you only need it for ONE project!:) Cheers and thanks so much!!
Awesome video, Jodie, as usual. Lot's of tips that are useful for other tasks. One thinge you didn't explain was how to calculate the length of the cabinet template (you just gave the length you built). I presume that the cabinet template should be twice the overlay shorter than the door cabinet template. For example, if there is a 3/8" overlay top and bottom then the cabinet template should be 3/4" SHORTER than the door template. Correct?
I love your no bull shit approach to woodworking😂 Thanks
Dude, that intro, nice.
Ha! Thanks for noticing man. I worked really hard on that!
Great jig! I want to see the jig for framed cabinet.
I might be able to do that today!!
Thanks
Nice work sir please keep it up
@Inspire Woodcraft - Hi, is there a way to get more than a full overlay (where it hides the side of the cabinet)? And if so, would it be available on a frame and frameless? Thanks!
Nice awl you've got there. Do you mind me asking who makes it or where I can find one? Been looking for something like that for an ice pick. Hope someone can let me know. Thanks.
well explained
Merci
Thank you so much show how
Good video.
Nice video thx. I am looking for hinges to attach to a large mirror to cover a hidden pew pew room. The mirror will be 65" × 31" do you think these would work ? Thx
Are there shallow conceal soft close hinges for partial overlay doors?
Hello. I have framed cabinets. I want full overlay, which is 2”. Is there a hinge option for that?
Do you think it be possible/advisable to add some material behind my face frame to make it compatible with frameless hinges?
Which hinge should be used for door thickness 30mm and cabinet frame thickness 26mm
Inspired
may cabinet is thickness is 3/4 " and the door is 1/2", any tips how to use that kind of hinge.
Help, I am making a hidden cabinet behind a mirror. The mirror is the door. What kind of hinge can I use? The Mirror will be larger then the cabinet by at least two inches on each side and will be flush to the wall to hide the cabinet so the hinge will need to open away from the wall a little which is the problem since the mirror is larger then the cabinet the edge of the mirror will hit the wall when it opens if it's not the right kind of hinge. Any recommendations?
Thaks..!..👍👍👍👍👍....🇵🇪 🇵🇪
very good vedio
What brand and model hinges do you like to use? I am getting to build kitchen cabinets for my sister in law, the cabinet I built I used Blume soft close hinges at 120 degree swing
Great video
I think Blum is probably the way to go if I had the choice. A lot of times to save a couple bucks I use the Everbuilt ones (I think that's what they're called) and I've never had any problems. I think the biggest advantage to Blum is just the ease of adjustments like the cam adjusters and snap-together door-to-carcase assembly. But maybe it just depends on what level of hinges you get too.
Hi mate
Can explain how to remove this hinge please?
What do you use to make the hole? AT your 6:14 time stamp? What can I use on my hand drill to make this hole?
You da man!
Nice
2:44 which hinges are these? Will they be strong enough to hold a 24" x 80" closet door, if I get enough of them? Where can they be purchased? Thank you so much!
that depends on the material the door is made from (ie; its weight, for example solid mdf is a little heavier than solid plywood, but a pine shaker panel door will be lighter) you might need 4 hinges per door for a closet door. It's usually the case no matter which hinges you use - but a good Blum hinge, will handle the weight of a large door better than the cheaper ones, but is still reasonably priced, readily available everywhere, in case you need a part later.
@@VelvetCrone that's really helpful and generous of you! Great info ❤ thank you so much!
But If I take apart the hinge, this 'knucklehead, will never get it back together! I can use this idea to make templates for the clocks, the issue is I will be using a 3" fortsner bit and controlling that thing... Well it can be a challenge so template like this is a great idea. Thanks Jodee!
Oh man I forgot about the 3” forstner. Yikes!
