Tools Required

• Screwdriver
• Drill (optional)
• Tape Measure
• Pencil
• Chisel (optional for recessed installation)
• Screws (check the hinge package for recommended type and size)

Steps to Install

1. Prepare the Door and Frame

• Decide the position where you want to install the hinges.
• Use a tape measure to ensure the hinges are level and aligned correctly.

2. Mark the Screw Holes

• Position the hinge on the door or frame.
• Use a pencil to mark the screw holes on the surface.

3. Drill Pilot Holes

• Optional: Use a drill to create pilot holes where you’ve marked the screw holes.
• This step helps prevent the wood from splitting.

4. Attach the Hinges

• Align the hinge with the pilot holes.
• Secure the hinge using screws and a screwdriver.
• Repeat the process for the other leaf of the hinge on the corresponding surface.

5. Test the Movement

• Once attached, test the door or panel to ensure it swings smoothly.
• Adjust if necessary by loosening the screws and realigning the hinge.

Tips for Best Results

• Ensure both the door and frame are clean and free from debris before installation.
• Use the same type of screws throughout to maintain consistency and strength.
• Consider using a chisel to recess the hinge for a flush mount if needed.
