Read More »Many kitchens around the country have a "standard" construction design that consists of framed cabinets with doors attached via knuckle/barrel hinges. The hinges are partially exposed when the cabinet doors are closed. Although exposed hinges have been popular in standard construction for many years, they have several drawbacks. They often clash with a kitchen’s décor. Additionally, they easily collect dust, dirt, cooking grease, oil and moisture. The sticky result is typically difficult to remove, while metal discoloration is sometimes impossible to reverse. Through the ages, hinge makers and manufacturers have designed hinges in a wide array of shapes, sizes and styles to fit different door types, materials and design needs. One design that has become increasingly popular is the “European hinge.” A European hinge is a concealed hinge that you can’t see when the kitchen cabinet doors are closed. Although the hinge is made in different styles and sizes, it has two mounting plates connected via an arm. On a standard European hinge, one plate features a cup that rests inside a 35mm hole bored into the back of the cabinet door, while the other plate attaches to the interior side of the face-frame or frameless cabinet box. Installation of a single kitchen cabinet door might require two to three European hinges depending on the size and weight of the door.

Why Does the Opening Need to be Bigger than the Door and its Frame? Three Reasons: 1. Room to adjust the door and the frame in the opening. Wall framing is called rough framing for a reason. Not all rough openings are completely plumb and square. Leaving this extra space allows you to perfectly plumb, level and square your door installation. 2. Next, not all doors are exactly the same size. The sizes of the door will vary by manufacturer. Normally this isn’t much, but if your rough opening was tight, or exactly the size of the door and the jamb, you may not get the door to function properly without having room to adjust. 3. Finally, this leaves room for expansion and contraction of the wall. Yes, your wall gets bigger and smaller as the seasons change. It does this by taking on moisture when it’s humid outside and shrinks when temperature and humidity levels drop. Again, we are talking about small amounts, sometimes less than 1/16″ of an inch, but this can be enough to make that once perfectly fitting door start to stick, rub on the frame or not latch properly.
