Everything You Need To Know About Concealed Hinges

European hinges are another name for concealed hinges. They are clean and are often chosen for a more modern or minimalist look. How you choose the right hinge will depend on the type of cabinet or door you have and the look you want. Here is what you need to know about concealed hinges.

When to Use a Concealed Hinge

Concealed hinges are what you need if you do not want the hinges on a cabinet or door to show from the outside. They can be used with any door and help you get the simple look you want.

Advantages of Using Concealed Hinges

There are several reasons to use concealed hinges in a business setting. Here are the most important benefits of concealed hinges.

Appearance

Concealed hinges make things look better; the same is true for industrial uses. As was already said, invisible hinges are out of sight, which can help you get the look you want.

Security

Concealed hinges are used inside outdoor telecom equipment cabinets and other enclosures. They work great to keep people from messing with the door.

Adjustable

They can be moved up and down, left and right, and in and out so that doors open and close easily and smoothly. You can get what you want with a hidden hinge.

Easy To Install

You can put concealed hinges on any door, like a cabinet door or a door in a hallway. Talk to people who know about cabinet hinges when you want to buy some. If you put the hinges on yourself, ensure you have all the right hinges and tools. A tape measure and a drill are also needed. Measuring, drilling, and screwing are all you need to do to install something. Follow the instructions from the maker to finish your project.

The best thing about concealed hinges is that messing them up is hard. Since they are installed in a way that doesn't leave visible drill holes, no one will ever know if you make a mistake. In addition, you can adjust the doors by moving them up and down or side to side with a screwdriver. With traditional hinges, you have to sand or plane the doors to make adjustments.

Repairing a Broken Concealed Hinge 

Since we live in our homes, things will break from time to time. Using cabinet doors every day can be especially hard on them. A hidden hinge is easy to fix, which is good news. It must be replaced if the hinge is completely broken or cannot be fixed. If you knew how to put the hinge on the first time, fixing this should be easy.

A stripped screw hole is a problem that can happen with cabinet doors. You try to tighten the screw because it has come loose, but it turns but will not tighten. Get some toothpicks, dip some in wood glue, and put them in the hole until you cannot fit anymore. If you cut off the ends of the toothpicks, you should be able to drill a new screw into the hole. Installing concealed hinges will enhance the security of your home.
