Install a hidden hinge step by step
1. Door recessing. Before carrying out the hidden hinge assembly process, it is important to measure and mark the place where you want to locate the hinge. If your door has been recessed, take your measurements to find a hinge that fits perfectly in the gap . If it does not have a recess, choose the type of hinge you need based on the measurements and weight of your door .
* It is advisable to place it about 3-5 centimeters from the top and bottom of the door edge.
2. Choose the correct hinge . When choosing a concealed hinge , consider the weight of the door, the number of hinges you should install per door, and the minimum thickness of the door. You must also take into account the measurements of the hinge to make the recess and the type of opening. In our collection of hidden hinges you can filter by characteristics to see the hidden hinge you need.

To do this, you can use or print a hinge plan that will help you fit the hidden hinge exactly. If the door has already been recessed, it is important to take into account the depth of the hole so that the hinge can fit correctly.
4. Mortise the hinge into the drilled holes . Insert the hinge into the hole and screw it to the door with the screws. This process is represented in the video above.
5. Adjust the position of the hinge in 3D . Once embedded, you must adjust the position of the door millimeters. This process is the final touch to make the door well finished, adjusting the swing, height, width and ultimately the opening and closing position. The 3D hinges allow adjustment movements and you can adjust them in length, height and width .
6. Place the trim. Once the position has been adjusted and the hinge is screwed, check that it works correctly by opening and closing the door several times. Once its correct operation has been verified, place the trim on both sides of the hinge to finish the installation.
It is important to keep in mind that the instructions may vary depending on the type of hidden hinge or its brand, so in those cases it is important to review the specific instructions for each house.
