Thanks Anthony. Great video! My contractor stopped coming before the doors were put on my built-ins so I decided to take matters into my own hands. I am a fairly decent DIY type but never installed concealed hinges. I was nervous that I would ruin the cabinet doors. With your guidance, I completed the project and they turned out great. I did take time to buy a 3/4" plywood blank for a test run which worked well and gave me confidence to finish the project. Keep up the great how-to videos.
I will be installing some shaker style doors on my shop cabinets in the next week. I ordered the kreg jig and waiting on it. Your video has helped to demystify the procedure.
The jig is a great necessary tool. Another video I saw when they freehanded drilling the whole the hinge did not sit flat. So, the jig makes it flat every time and is perfect for this job.
Well done, so helpful, I installed my doors following the instructions of your video. I like the way you tell people to look at the manufacturers specs, so I did that! Doors are on my kitchen cabinet, Thanks!!
Thanks for your video! Getting ready to install some shaker cabinet doors and using these hinges. I’ll set up a DIY jig on my drill press, but Kreg is definitely good for onsite install.
I made the doors, so i was able to choose any location i wanted but if you are using pre-made doors and are replacing the existing ones, then you need to go by the specs of the old doors.
Nice! Also, looking for guidance on how install the hinges on the cabinet getting it nice and level in addition to having it centered top to bottom of cabinet opening.....
@@christopherlopez9316 I usually meet with the client to draw it up together because when most people have a design in mind, there are things that work and things that can’t work either structurally or incorrect for the space in the home. Email me to let me know where you are from and what type if piece you are thinking of doing.
When your doing double doors with no center stile and you measure the rough opening and then add for your overlay then get the size of your two doors do you make them.excat width are you make each door a 1/16" smaller i know some hinges have adjustments for the gap between the doors
Great video. It helped a lot, especially when you've never done it before. I used the jig and bingo. I wonder how many doors I can drill with that bit that came with the jig.
Excellent step by step instructions great. I went amd got a kreg wow what a difference. Spend the 49 for it. The kreg vivce grips are really pricey. 59 bucks for 1 u need 2 but worth it. I'm just a diy guy
Any trick to installing them to the cabinet now the hinges are on the door? How do you hold the door and drill pilot holes in the cabinet at the same time without it slipping on you?
@@christopherlopez9316 even if you have compact overlay concealed hinges, they still have a round base underneath that requires a 35mm bore to be drilled into the door to seat them, even though they may not seem round. Unless you don’t have concealed hinges at all.
Hi mate did the little holes line up perfectly with your hinge ? The holes don't line up with Blum hinges throw it out of square when you screw down the hinge ,you didn't show a close but it looked square most use the self centring drill bit and square the hinge with a square
talab hussain yes, they always line up with the hinges I use and square to the edges as well. Ready to install on the cabinet face frames. I’ve never used Blum hinges with this jig.
@@AnthonyScolaro1 ok thanks I've bought one not tried it yet maybe it's a UK problem if you get a chance look at Peter Millard 10 minute workshop channel kreg jig review he points the problem out hopefully mine will work as well as yours
If you don’t have or can’t find instructions online for those hinges, I’d start with the dial settings on 4. Then test it on scrap the same thickness as your doors. Mount the scrap with the hinge to the cabinet carcass and check your reveal. If it’s not where it should be, get another scrap and change the dial setting plus or minus one depending on if you need it to move in or outward.
Nice video for using this jig. I was hoping you would show how to align the two doors perfectly when installing them back to the cabinet. My concern in the curved edge on the outside of my cabinet drawer that it could make a hole on the edge if it goes too far in when drilling the hole with the jig.
Ps. I was just looking through the comments for an answer to a jig question I had, thinking I may find it there. Anyway, just know that most people stink 😂🤷♀️ and that your video was great. I have a channel myself and never comment on videos, but found yours so helpful and the best on the subject that I had to. Just keep doing what your doing and don’t be discouraged :)
Excellent video. I was all set to buy a drill press just to replace my cabinet hinges. You saved me a ton of money and garage space for a tool I didn’t really need. Thank you
DUNAiden 985 you are referring to what’s called “inset doors”. inset doors can use these types of hinges but you have to make sure the package says “inset”. The hinge package for the doors I made say “overlay” because they overlay the face frames.
I have a question I am trying to do doors for my aquarium cabinet I had the hinges that are soft close and the kreg jig the manufacturer says to install the hinge from the outside edge of the wood to the center of the hinge 13/16 but I do not see this on The jig because 13/16 is 20 mm so how do I set the jig up to work also my hinges are 1 1/4 overlay how do I know if the hinge will rub against the cabinet face?
13/16” is almost 21mm, it’s actually 20.65mm to be exact, but that doesn’t matter, you should get a scrap piece of stock and cut it to the exact size of the stile of the existing door where the hinge will sit and make a mark at 13/16 from the edge as the manufacturer recommends. Then using the jig with the forstner bit installed, bring the kreg jig up to the edge and adjust the dials on the jig until the point of the forstner bit is dead center on the 13/16 mark. Then on the scrap, drill that 35mm hole and install the hinge and check your fit. Also, concealed hinges have adjustment screws to move them up, down and forward or backward to prevent rubbing on the cabinet.
I am replacing my old hinges with soft close. I’ve patched holes from old hinges. Do I need to change where I install new hinges? I’ve read about wood fillers, epoxy and putty, they all say you can drill them but they are not strong enough to hold cabinet doors. My old hinges were placed 3” from top and bottom, should I change measurement when installing new hinges so I’m not drilling into wood filler or epoxy?
Read my pinned comment at the top of the comment section. You’ll find the links to the videos where I show you an easy way to mount them to the carcass
@@bvsproductions9021 as long as you make sure the stop tabs underneath the jig are contacting the edge of the door and you follow the hinge manufacturer’s measurements for installation, it should work the same as a straight edge door.
i am having issues with the PVC doors that was just installed - soft close lap ones, what is the solution to ensure that the hinges hold onto the board. the screws come out
These hinges aren’t made for pvc, and the screws don’t hold under constant use in pvc because there is no internal structure for it to bite into. What type of doors are they? And why are they pvc?
Your door is not supposed to be flush to the frame, it’s called an air gap. All correctly made cabinets have it. Just make sure you bought the correct hinges and set the jig correctly otherwise the gap will be too large.
@@tonydeleo3642 I’m sorry, I should have said read the comments under the video and the top comment will be my pinned comment. I have two videos on building a curio part 1 and part 2. I show you how I install the doors on the carcasses.
Thanks for the instructions! However, how do you precisely measure the heights of the other halves of the hidges that were already scerewed in the cabinet (at the end of the video, when you connect the hidges and put the door on)?

@@andrewfreer1115 it’s my comment at the top of the entire comment list. Go to the comment section of this video, my pinned comment is the first comment you should see.
Ther are adjustment screws at the carcass side of the hinge. One screw moves the door up and down and the other moves the door closer or further from the cabinet
Anthony, It appeared you did not use the screws that came with the hinges. Can you explanation? I am also installing these hinges and am considering longer screws due to size and weight of my 48" high doors.
@@markstorhaug9989 it all depends on the thickness of the door. Longer screws can poke through the other side of the door if you’re not careful about the length.
Okay! Your video gave me the confidence to go for it!!!! Thanks Anthony! Curious about if I should drill for the pull handles while the cabs are laying flat OR wait until I install in case hinge adjustments are made?
I have the kreg jig but my makita drill takes forever to drill the hole and stalls out a ton. Take like 5 minutes of drilling to get the hinge hole. What am I doing wrong? Is it a drill setting?
Make sure you bring the drill back up after you drill down some of the way, so that you can clear out the wood chips and dissipate heat. It’s like giving the bit a quick break. And make sure your drill has enough power, and your battery is full.
