I have a fitted wardrobe as you can see.
I want to fit 2 x MDF doors from floor to ceiling for each side.
The way the wardrobe is made means I can't fit hinges inside the frame (like kitchen cabinet hinges).
But I can fit flush hinges on the outside edge of the frame (this is how the old bi-folding doors were fitted).
There are already holes on the wardrobe frame where the old flush hinges were. I assume I can use these to first fit new flush hinges.
But because these new MDF doors are incredibly heavy, I can't hold them in place and mark where the hinges should go, so I'll have to measure where the hinges are on the frame then transfer these measurements to the doors.
But the odd millimetre out and the doors won't be straight. And because they're supposed to meet in the middle when closed they'll look awful if not completely straight or they wont close at all.
1. Is there such a thing as a flush hinge I can fit to the outside of the frame, then 'hang' the door on, then tighten and tweak the hinges to adjust the door? In other words, just like kitchen cabinet hinges, but to fit outside the frame?
2. I'd also like push to open fittings (like Ikea cabinets have). Are there such fittings strong enough to push open a huge floor to ceiling MDF door?
Any help welcome
