Corner Hinge Kit Instructions
Vertical Positioning of Hinges
Although Euro-style concealed hinges allow for vertical
adjustment, the mounting plate must line up with the hinge arm if
the two are to snap together and provide the maximum possible
adjustment range. The easiest way to accomplish this is to mark
aligning horizontal centerlines on both the doors and the cabinet.
You need to consider the amount of the doors’ overlay or inset
when calculating the centerline positions for the doors.
1. For the top hinge, measure down from the top of the cabinet
opening to the desired mounting location (typically 2"-3") and
use a combination square to mark the horizontal centerline on
the inside of the cabinet. (For the bottom hinge, measure up
from the bottom of the cabinet opening.)
Note: Be sure your hinge positions will provide adequate
clearance for any pullouts.
2. To determine the centerline location on the door, start with
the distance you measured in Step 1 and subtract the amount
of the reveal at that edge.
3. Use the values calculated for the top and bottom hinge
locations in Step 2 and mark the horizontal centerlines on
the back of the door. Compare the distance between the lines
on the cabinet with the distance between the lines on the
door to verify.
Note: Building a bi-fold door system requires installing two pairs
of hinges — 170˚ frameless cabinet hinges (the larger pair) and
bi-fold door hinges. The 170˚ hinges attach to the side of the
cabinet and to Door 1. The bi-fold hinges connect to Door 1
and Door 2.

Installing Hinges on Door 1
1. Refer to the Door Diagram to mark drilling locations for
the hinge cup holes and mounting screw holes on the door.
Note that the 170˚ Hinges and Bi-Fold Hinges have differing
hinge-cup center locations on Door 1.
2. Using a 35mm Forstner bit, drill a hole 11mm deep for the
hinge cup, taking care to keep the bit as square as possible
to the door.
Note: For fast, easy and accurate location and drilling of
hinge cup holes for the 170˚ Hinges, we recommend using
the JIG IT Deluxe Concealed Hinge Drilling System (53420,
sold separately) along with a Rockler 35mm Long-Shank
Forstner Bit (10117, sold separately). For those using a drill
press, a dedicated JIG IT setup block is available (58488, sold
separately). For the hinge cups for the Bi-Fold Hinges, the
Drill Shroud from the JIG IT Deluxe Concealed Hinge Drilling
System can be used.
3. Drill pilot holes for the screws, taking care not to drill all
the way through the door.
4. Position the hinge cup in the hole and use the included
screws to secure in place.
5. Repeat Steps 2-4 at other hinge location(s).
Installing Mounting Plates in Cabinet
1. Refer to the Cabinet Diagram to mark drilling locations for
the hinge plates.
2. Drill pilot holes for the mounting screws, taking care not
to drill all the way through the cabinet side.

mounting plate pilot holes, we recommend using the JIG IT
Hinge Plate Template for Inset Doors (56585, sold separately)
along with a Rockler/Insty-Drive #6 Self-Centering Bit (68991,
sold separately).
3. Use the included screws to secure the mounting plates onto
the face frame.
Installing Mounting Plates on Door 2
1. Refer to the Door 2 Diagram to mark drilling locations for
the hinge plates.
2. Drill pilot holes for the mounting screws, taking care not to
drill all the way through.
Note: For fast, easy and accurate location and drilling of
mounting plate pilot holes, we recommend using the JIG IT
Hinge Plate Template A (50375, sold separately) along
with a Rockler/Insty-Drive #6 Self-Centering Bit (68991,
sold separately).
3. Use the included screws to secure the mounting plates
onto Door 2.
4. Mount the doors by clipping the hinge arms onto the
mounting plates.
