Instructions for mounting your hinges
1. We do not pre=drill holes for hinges since we have found that hinge holes usually
don’t line up exact anyway. A good rule of thumb is to mount the hinges about 1 or 2
inches from the top and bottom of the cabinet. The distance the hinges are apart
from each other is more about aesthetics than functionality.
2. It is easiest to mount the hinge on the CABINET first. Mount the hinge with the
screw in the CENTER of the holes. (See Photo A). That way, you will have some
minor adjustment of the door up and down should you need or desire it. It is also a
VERY GOOD IDEA to use a punch or something to make a starting point for your
screw to go into. That way, the screw can easily be put into the center of the hole
without worrying about it wandering which can move your hinge away from the frame
or door. This is the most common problem with installation of hinges and can cause
the hinges to get into a bind which causes numerous other problems such as door
mis-alignment, etc.
3. Last, mount the hinges onto the door starting at the top. You may need someone
to help you with this step so that they can hold the door in place while you are
inserting the screws.
4. If your door requires a minor adjustment up or down, simply loosen the screws on
the CABINET side of the hinge and adjust it, then re-tighten them.
5. Door bumpers or felt pads have been provided to keep your door from hitting the
cabinet when shut. (See Photo B)
BLUMOTION ADAPTER MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS:
If you have purchased the soft close damper, it is mounted on the same side as the
hinges. You will need the plastic adapter behind the damper and the longer screw
since all of our hinges are ½” overlay except for frameless cabinets. For frameless
cabinets, you’ll use the damper without the adapter and use the shorter screw. Use
the adjustment screw to adjust at what point the damper takes over and closes the
door fully.
