Tips for Installing Hidden Door Hinges

  • Measure Carefully: Use included templates; typical cup holes are ~35 mm diameter and 3–5 mm deep on the door edge; match frame recesses.
  • Test Before Finalizing: Dry-fit and swing-test, especially for outswing configurations.
  • Secure Firmly: Use #8 screws for wood doors; shim if surfaces aren’t perfectly flat. Consider auto-close hydraulics for café-style swinging.
  • Fine-Tune Gaps: Aim for ~1/16" reveals and avoid over-tightening to prevent binding.
