Do you have nice kitchen cabinets?
Are you pondering over for a good solution on how to install kitchen cabinets door? Then here is a method, which you will find reasonable.
- If you are planning to install completely new hinges on the cabinet door, measure up two inches from the bottom of the cabinet door edge and mark a line. You have to repeat the same at the top of the door by measuring down two inches and scribing the mark. If the door is taller, at a height more than thirty inches, then you should divide the remaining space equally and make marks at the middle. These marks determine the hinge positions.
- Now you have to attach the hinges to the door of the cabinet according to the previously marked positions. Often screws will be included along with the hinges and you can fix the hinges using these screws. However, care has to be taken while fixing it in not to drive them through the cabinet door face.
- Measure vertically the cabinet openings using tape on both sides. You need to make light pencil marks in order to show the top and bottom edges of the cabinet door.
- Then hold the cabinet doors in place with the help of the tape guide. By placing the door flat against the cabinet frame, you need to find where the top hinges rest against the frame. You can also run the strips of masking tape along the bottom and top of the hinge to notate the position.
- Now open the door outwards and extend the hinges as if they were already attached to the door. You should align the top hinge on the door with the hinge mark outlined with the tape. Now you can drill pilot holes through the cabinet base in order to match the hinge screw positions. Finally, you can drive screws through the holes.
- You need to work down the door, by first fixing the middle hinge then followed by the bottom hinge. It is always better to fix one hinge at a time, which will prevent careless mistakes and will avoid binding of the hinges during attachment.
- You can fix additional cabinet doors in a similar way. After having finished with your work, you should remove all the masking tape.
