I second that, love that you don't talk lots of uneccessary nonsense like so many TH-camrs. 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....
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.
Peter, after watching and listening to this video several months ago, I decided to dive in and start the build. Once I had the doors built, I knew push had come to shove, so once and for all I studied the drilling dimensions you provide and drew a figure at full scale. From that I made a drilling guide that works like the one in your video made by Grass. (It was $37 from Amazon US, so I made my own.) At this point, everything was finally clear in three dimensions. I owe that to your direct, clear, and precise teaching. In the end, it is far simpler than looking through the Blum instructions would have one think! Please don’t underestimate the value of your video. This is the first and probably last such cabinet I will make, and thanks to you I was able to break through the fog and get the job done well. Thank you! Bob Jones Lafayette, CA
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).
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.
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.
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
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
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!
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.
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 😂👍
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 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.
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.
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 👍👍
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.
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. 👍👍
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. 👍
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!:)))
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. TH-cam at its best.👍
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!!
Thank you so much for this video. I had a kitchen cabinet door was lower than its pair and I did not want to call the original instaler since they took months for what was supposed to be a 4-5 day cabinet refacing job. I adjusted the door myself (female). It's not perfect but better, so thanks from NY USA.
Hi Babs! Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I’m so pleased that this video helped in some small way - and not for nothin’ but ‘not perfect, but better’ is all I ever aim for! 😂 Me any my wife love New York - hope you and your family are staying safe and well in these strange times! Thanks again, and best wishes from London. 👍👍
@@10MinuteWorkshop Thank you. I hope you understood that I meant my adjustment was not perfect. Your explanations of how to make adjustments was great. I hope you and your wife and family are safe as well.
Understood totally Babs, and all well here, thank you. Had a ‘virtual’ Easter Sunday lunch via zoom with our kids today - not quite the same, but sometimes you take what you can get, right? Thanks again for taking the time - it’s really appreciated. 🙌👍
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. 👍👍
Peter you are magnificent. I'm currently lying around recovering from long covid and dreaming about my new house completing and all the DIY to be done inside it. I've bookmarked so many of your videos to come back to, such clear instruction and they're keeping me entertained and excited during my convalescence. All the best.
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.
@@10MinuteWorkshop I did a search for a similar comment but didn't find any, so thanks for acknowledging. Meanwhile the hinges are installed and my cabinet door fits perfectly. Thanks for the detailed video!
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.
The TH-cam algorithm has me perfectly profiled. What a great channel to have discovered. The ideal presentation style Peter, thanks for putting these guides together.
Thank you so much. I just got a Kreg jig and used it for the first time yesterday. Only thing is that the small holes to drill the 062” Dia.Drill bit through need to be longer if you are going to do it in one fell swoop.
Awesome video and just what I was after. I am going to be using the same inset hinge and base plate. So my door is 19mm thick and I add on to that 37mm to get the screw holes for my base plate? Thanks again Peter
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.
One thing no body covers is how do you know how far each hinge is to be from the edge? Is that in the instructions? What if there's more than 2 hinges?
I am trying to replace branded “Riming” kitchen hinges. It has been a two year long investigation essentially, half my cabinets are unusable thank you for the details right off the bat.
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! There’s a playlist with all the drawer runner videos in them. I did one about under mount runners earlier in the year, parting the drawer cabinet series. 👍👍
P.s. the drilling guide link didn’t work for me in the US. Amazon won’t let me buy from Amazon UK. Plus, the Grass drilling guide is $34 here. Can you believe that?
Finally watched this video, not sure why I delayed watching could be that I now have to many TH-cam subscriptions which I need to thin out, rest assured yours is not one for the delete button. Good video, I wasn’t even aware there was an insert variety of concealed hinge.
The little kreg jig is an excellent addition to the install kit , along with the shelf pin hole jig by kreg which I use on every cabinet install job . I also chose to go with Blum some time ago when I was starting out and with there excellent range of in-expensive jigs to go with there hinge & drawer runners systems certainly makes my installs alot easier & faster 👍 good vid as always Peter 👍
Excellent. I've got to replace an old naff kitchen cabinet that has been repurposed in a living room as an electric meter cupboard, I think I will reuse the concealed hinges from it when I rip it out and build a nice new MDF cupboard.
Great video, Peter but talking of wardrobe doors (they got a brief mention) I can find very little youtube demo material on installing them using overlay hinges. I know that the basic process is the same as kitchen cabinet doors but, as a keen (and fairly aged) DIYer, I found fitting 185mm x 570mm 18mm MDF wardrobe doors quite difficult partly due to the sheer weight of them. Plus there are a lot more hinges to line up and tweak. Handling tiddly kitchen cabinet doors would have been a breeze (there's loads of videos about them of course). I only managed to find two detailed videos for building wardrobes and installing the doors with concealed hinges. One was for inset doors (mine were overlay) and in the other one the guy said "Oops I forgot to film the part where I fitted the hinges and installed the doors" (nice one, mate). There are a few more videos out there but they miss out important details. Just saying.....
Thanks bob. I think I’ve talked about them in every wardrobe job I’ve done; have a look through the playlists, there’s one for ‘client work, bedroom furniture’ or something like that. 👍
Great explanation, thank you for the video. Much better than trying to navigate through the labyrinth of the Blum website. And their search engine is less than useless too, it doesn't even recognize their own part numbers. Thanks again, Mark.
Great video. You mention 35mm is more widely available but I need 26mm 135°, possibly I should be brave and make a 35mm new hole using similar template to what you used? On the verge or returning 35mm I bought in error.

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! 👍
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! 👍
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! 🙌👍
Peter, this was timely for me and incredibly helpful! Well done indeed. I hope you have a video for Blumotion undercount drawer slides.
Thanks! There’s a playlist with all the drawer runner videos in them. I did one about under mount runners earlier in the year, parting the drawer cabinet series. 👍👍
P.s. the drilling guide link didn’t work for me in the US. Amazon won’t let me buy from Amazon UK. Plus, the Grass drilling guide is $34 here. Can you believe that?
Finally watched this video, not sure why I delayed watching could be that I now have to many TH-cam subscriptions which I need to thin out, rest assured yours is not one for the delete button. Good video, I wasn’t even aware there was an insert variety of concealed hinge.
Thanks Peter! Yes, there's lots of hinges - and they all exist for a reason - but for most people, and overlay or an inset hinge will do the job. 👍
Absolutely brilliant as usual Peter very useful info .
The little kreg jig is an excellent addition to the install kit , along with the shelf pin hole jig by kreg which I use on every cabinet install job .
I also chose to go with Blum some time ago when I was starting out and with there excellent range of in-expensive jigs to go with there hinge & drawer runners systems certainly makes my installs alot easier & faster 👍 good vid as always Peter 👍
Thanks! I’ll have to take a closer look at the Kreg jigs - starting with the one I have, lol! 😂👍
Indeed, the Kreg hinge jig is excellent, 👍 🔨 🇮🇪
Brilliant explanation its the clearest best one Iv seen so far and Iv been looking all day!
Thank you! 👍👍
Excellent. I've got to replace an old naff kitchen cabinet that has been repurposed in a living room as an electric meter cupboard, I think I will reuse the concealed hinges from it when I rip it out and build a nice new MDF cupboard.
Great video, Peter but talking of wardrobe doors (they got a brief mention) I can find very little youtube demo material on installing them using overlay hinges.
I know that the basic process is the same as kitchen cabinet doors but, as a keen (and fairly aged) DIYer, I found fitting 185mm x 570mm 18mm MDF wardrobe doors quite difficult partly due to the sheer weight of them. Plus there are a lot more hinges to line up and tweak. Handling tiddly kitchen cabinet doors would have been a breeze (there's loads of videos about them of course).
I only managed to find two detailed videos for building wardrobes and installing the doors with concealed hinges. One was for inset doors (mine were overlay) and in the other one the guy said "Oops I forgot to film the part where I fitted the hinges and installed the doors" (nice one, mate). There are a few more videos out there but they miss out important details. Just saying.....
Thanks bob. I think I’ve talked about them in every wardrobe job I’ve done; have a look through the playlists, there’s one for ‘client work, bedroom furniture’ or something like that. 👍
I'll have a peruse. I've still got five more to fit @@10MinuteWorkshop
Excellent video. Clear, concise information. Thanks very much.
Thank you! 👍👍
Great explanation, thank you for the video. Much better than trying to navigate through the labyrinth of the Blum website. And their search engine is less than useless too, it doesn't even recognize their own part numbers. Thanks again, Mark.
Thanks! Glad it helped! 👍
Great video.
You mention 35mm is more widely available but I need 26mm 135°, possibly I should be brave and make a 35mm new hole using similar template to what you used?
On the verge or returning 35mm I bought in error.
You just answered all my questions. Excellent video.
Thank you for this video I had detached my door and couldn’t figure out how to get it back on until I saw this video I was able to do it💕🍏😎
