Hinge Placement On Doors

I was not following historic detail it just made sense.

Hinge placement on doors. This will depend on how many hinge brackets you actually have. When i place the hinges on a cabinet door i put them where they look good to me. Most doors require a minimum of two hinges. Because gravity works on a door in this way hinges are placed on the high side with the bottom hinge 10 inches from the bottom of the door and the top one 5 inches from the top of the door.

As an example on a 31 tall door by 20 1 2 wide the top hinge ended up 4 1 4 from the top of the door to the center of the hinge. There are many different ways you can arrange the placement of hinges on a screen door and door frame. Determine general placement of hinges. If the door frame is already mortised follow that placement pattern for the door.

The bottom one was 5 1 2 from the bottom of the door to the center. Frame measurements inside head to top of each hinge door measurements top of door to top of each hinge door measurements top of door to center of each hinge 1 3 4 doors 4 1 2 hinges hinge location chart. Place the top hinge 5 inches from the top of the door and the bottom hinge 10 inches from the bottom of the door. Measure this distance and mark the location on the frame and then do the same on the door that you re hanging.

Opening heights 7 6 1 16 through 10 0 two pair butt hinges from under head cl 9 3 4 top of door 9 5 8. This hinge is placed within a cut out in the cabinet door that is made with a router or chisel. Hinge placement is certainly dictated by the location of the through tenon. One hinge is located 7 inches from the top of the door frame and the other hinge is located 11 inches from the bottom of the door frame.

I wonder how much of the current trend in door hanging is dictated by cheap doors cheap hinges and quick and easy installs. From bottom of frame cl 10 3 8 bottom of door 9 5 8 center hinge is equally spaced between top and bottom. Placement is flush with the outside edge of the cabinet door with both hinges 2 inches from the top and bottom edge. If you have a third you should fix it in the middle of the first two.
