You’re such an excellent teacher!!! Thank you!

Blum customer service recommended a 7 mm distance but my Kreg jig only goes up to 6 mm. I want the sides of cabinet to be completely flush with the cabinet sides. She recommended I use the 6 mm and then make the adjutment on the hinge itself after installation.

Are you saying you want the edge of the door to be flush with the edge of the cabinet. If so how thick is the cabinet side? Then I can make a suggestion.

Great video! very thorough and much appreciated. Had a question about inset doors for framed cabinets, you prefer using the CLIP wing mounting plates on page 62 of the BLUM manual, or using the ones that mount on the back of the face frame? Seems to me that the former (CLIP wing mounting plates) provide a sturdier point of fixation since its attached to the carcass.

[@WoodworkersHardware]

Yes! You are exactly right. And thank you for the nice review of our video.
The wing mounting plates provide a much stronger hold into the cabinet carcass. We do however sell many of the face frame inset plate as they are simple to install.
