How to determine hinge boring and door hinges
At Eagle Woodworking we make adding cabinet door hinges to your order simple. You tell us your cabinet construction type and door overlay style and we will provide the recommended hinge boring setup and cabinet door hinges. When available, we offer both screw-on hinges and tool-free hinges (INSERTA).
We use the following table to determine hinge setups:
