Installing Hidden Hinges

Posted byoxforddecorPosted inUncategorized


Between my soffits and hinges my kitchen was making me want to pull my hair out (I have another post where I trimmed my soffits out).

Time to say bye bye to those awful hinges. They were dating my kitchen and making it look so old.

I bought these off amazon and they are even self closing!!

Next I decided to buy the best tool possible for this project

I simply clamped this down onto my cabinets. I liked it up with where the old hinges went but you really can’t mess up using this tool.

I put my tool on the six after playing around with it.
The jig also comes with two small holes that you will predrill for the screws (that is what the two small holes beside the big hole are)

I placed my hidden hinges in my cabinet holes and then held the entire thing up to the base and marked I wanted my cabinets to hang. Then I took the hidden hinges back out of the cabinet door and installed them into the cabinet base first. This was the easiest way to install on your own!!

Here is the before again
And the after

I promise this is an easy diy and totally worth it. I am so glad I ended up keeping my cabinets!!
