Basically I drylined walls with metal stud walls. When the guys were fitting the metal studs they encorporated a square frame for the consumer unit and built around it leaving me with a nice square opening to put a small access door.
Now the problem is this, the door i have made is made from mdf. I have fixed on square edge moulding to the door, btw the mdf panel is 18mm. Now I have some hinges which I thought would screw through the square edge moulding and into the side of the mdf however the issue i have is that the side of the hinge that has to screw into the side of the opening. The holes of this side of the hinge line up just over the plasterboard so i wont be able to fix it in. Now if i get deeper hinges so that the holes clear the plasterboard and come over the metal stud, i have a problem on the others side as the holes on the hinge no longer cover the side of the 18mm mdf.
So basically the problem is, if i get narrow hinges, they screw into the door but not the opening and ifi get deeper hinges they screw into the opening but not the door. What would you guys recommend.
Thanks
