Hi all,
I'm starting to build some cupboard by the landing upstairs. There will be one tall cupboard from the floor measuring 56cm (w) x 202cm (h) and one above it at 56cm (w) x 59cm (h).
I plan to use MDF but wasn't sure if I needed 25mm depth or if 18mm would do? I'm using standard 35mm door casing, but will cut the rebate down to match the depth of the MDF.
I also wasn't sure what type of hinge to get? Given the thickness and that MDF can be prone to splitting when screwing from the sides, I dont want to use a butt hinge. What about these?

At a guess, I was going to go for 3 door hinges on the lower tall door and 2 for the overhead smaller door, using 18mm MDF. Would this be okay?
Cheers
