Euro hinges

[Keitai]

Got some recessed Euro hinges. Before I screw them into door, want to get them at 90 degrees to door edge. Shall I use straight edge or set square? (As in pictures. )

Also, when putting the part of hinge which goes onto door lining, what's the best way to put this into the correct place? Same as butt hinges i.e top hinge one screw then bottom hinge one screw etc

Straight edge pressed against the back to line the hinges as in your pic .
Get a plastic template to mark the hinge plates , you should be able to get height position by measurement from centre of 35mm door boring to the top of door. Theres room for a little adjustment by the elongated holes in the plates https://www.amazon.co.uk/Concealed-...vlocphy=20343&hvtargid=pla-701038545798&psc=1
or you can but an actual drilling guide for euro screws if your drilling skills are shakey.

I just mark parallel pencil lines down frame and door edge and screw thru that.

I got three hinges so pump it into position then mark the centre line across from centre of hole to lining? Then put plate in from centre line?

Do I need black jig thing?

Before I put it into cupboard opening was gonna practice on my kitchen door lining ( I'll remove door stop). Do you pump it up using airbag into position then mark centre line across?

Ive got to ask because, well because, your not fixing that door to be wholly inside a frame are you, and not outside it as in a kitchen cabinet door?

We're back to the understairs door - again. And aren't those hinges overlay type, or insets? Just checking

Just transfer measurements from door to cupboard sides, those look like clip on hinges so easy to fit.

Yeah I think so. Arent all euro hinges like this? The joiner who knocked up the door recommended them. In fact sold me them. Won't they be ok on the inside or if I put a lining in? Your suggested door - mortise and tenon was too hard for me and it's just a cupboard. 18mm mdf.

Look at the state of the carpet, don't you have any dust sheets? especially with your muddy wellies!

Ok so just practiced on my kitchen door lining- i place it on the floor and marked across from centre of hinge then marked 7mm up. I then washt sure how far in from edge screws would go. As this door is inset finishes flush I I calculated the usual 35mm plus 18mm for thickness of mdf so 53mm in. But it seems 2mm proud. Should I go 55mm in?

Looks a bit too narrow, but apart from that 10/10!

Isn't it obvious from the height, Andy? It's one half of a saloon bar door - like the cowboys walk through in the westerns

From what I read the Op was honing his skills with a practice run on the kitchen door lining before fitting on the cupboard under the stairs.

I was being sarcastic, honestly. (I know I know - lowest form of wit)
