Hi,
can anybody give me some pointers, tips, as to the fitting of 35mm concealed hinges..Fitting mdf wardrobe doors(pair)what is the required distance from the edge of the door, ie: the centre point for the hole cutter,keeping the hinges parallel

Cheers

Depends on a few factors such as door thickness (assume 18mm), corner radius of door, gap between doors, angle of hinge being used, thickness of carcase.

Usually if you allow 2.5 - 3.0mm from edge of door to edge of hole you should be able to tweak it with the adjustment screws, so the ctr distance will be around 20mm (1/2x35 +2.5)

Here a few tables to make you more confused
