How To Fit Flush Hinges
Flush hinges, as the name suggests, sit flush with the material into which they are installed. Because one leaf of the hinge sits within a cut-out gap in the other leaf, it does not require a mortise to be cut. This makes them particularly handy if you’re looking to do a speedy installation.
If you’re not sure how to install a flush hinge, you’ve come to the right place – we’ll go over all the steps to help you! With this quick article, you’ll be installing your own flush hinges in no time.
Firstly, get your tools together. You’ll need a drill, some screws, a pencil, a set-square, and of course, your flush hinge.
Then all you need to do is follow the steps below:
- Making sure that it’s both flat and parallel with the edge of the required surface, hold your hinge to where you’re going to install it, and mark through the holes with your pencil. Use your set-square to help make sure that the hinge is perfectly parallel!
- Take the right size drill bit for your screw and drill a small guide hole where you have marked with the pencil. This will ensure that the screw is installed in exactly the right place.
- Place your hinge back over the holes and drill it into place with the screws.
- Now all you have to do is repeat this process with the adjoining material.
And easy as that, you’ve installed your first flush hinge!
