Installation

New installation: For a new installation, make sure the cabinet face where the hinge is being mounted is strong and anchored well enough to carry the weight of the door long term. Also, check the mounting screws for proper length. If the screws are longer than the thickness of the cabinet wall, they may protrude out the back and cause harm to someone reaching into the cabinet.
Replacement installation: If the hinge is being installed as a replacement, the installer must check the surface of the cabinet to see if the old hinge left a pattern on the wood where it did not receive the original stain or paint. Some preparations may need to be made to retreat the area or to remove any surrounding finish before installing the new hinge.
Vertical alignment: Install the hinge on a perfectly vertical plumb line. The installer should use a precision level to confirm that the center pin axis of the hinge is aligned vertically in all directions.

Style of Hinge

Hinges are available in many styles, finishes and colors to match the existing decor or interior theme of the room. There are also options for self-closing hinges. Some have an internal spring to automatically close the door when released, while others use a sloped surface and gravity to help pull the door closed.
