Hinge Styles Depend on Cabinet Design
Adding new hardware and hinges is the secret to a spectacular kitchen update. The style of hinge you choose, however, is dependent upon the type and style of your cabinets. In this article we’ll discuss the options and differences so that you can become "hinge wise," and add a dazzling new touch to your cabinetry design.
Step 1: Are your cabinets Face Frame or Frameless?
  The style of hinge you choose will be largely determined by how your cabinets are made. First determine if your cabinet has a face frame or is frameless.
Step 2: Determine the overlay of your doors:
For Face Frame Cabinets:
Most traditional cabinetry will require face frame mounted hinges for doors that overlay their face frames. Overlay is the relationship of your cabinet doors to the cabinet faces. The amount of overlay will determine the type of hinge you will need. There are three kinds of face frame overlay:

Here's something to consider when selecting face frame hinges...
These hinges are not for use on Eurostyle Cabinets, they are for use on your face frame cabinets only.
Overlay Applications
Use an overlay hinge if the door overlays the face frame completely, with a rabbet. It can be predetermined or variable. If it is variable, you'll be able to mount it anywhere on the widthe of the face frame and determine how much of the frame will be visible.
Inset Applications
Use an inset hinge if the door is completely flush with the face frame. |

| Use the chart to determine how many hinges you'll need for the height and weight of your door.
A door that is 43'' high and weighs 14 lbs. requires three hinges. If your door is only 24'' high but weighs 14 lbs., go with three hinges for maximum support and stability.
Use on 5/8'' - 3/4'' doors unless otherwise noted. |
