CHECK 01
Match hinge type to overlay or inset condition
Use the exact manufacturer family and its technical table. Count rules are a planning baseline; drilling, load and clearance data control the released result.
Direct answer
Door installation depends on correct hinge selection, cup drilling, mounting-plate position and three-way adjustment after the cabinets are fixed and square.
Expert view
The real decision behind this search
Door installation requires the correct hinge, mounting plate, drilling pattern and an adjustment sequence.
Workshop reality
Fit and adjust one representative door before drilling the entire batch. Confirm overlay, reveal and opening angle against adjacent parts.
Useful output
A repeatable hinge setup and aligned doors with consistent reveals and safe clearances.

Decision sequence for this specific task
Each check below is tied to the subject of this page. Record the input, the decision and the evidence used to approve it.
CHECK 02
Use the manufacturer's drilling pattern
Turn this point into a recorded decision: define the input, review it against the real project and keep the evidence that allows another person to verify the result.
CHECK 03
Install plates consistently
Verify the building condition and the fixing method before positioning the cabinet. Establish one reference, support the box without twisting it and recheck after connection.
CHECK 04
Adjust depth, side and height in a controlled order
Tie the decision to a cabinet code and external size, then check how the construction standard changes the internal space, fronts and neighbouring units.
Release boundary
Incorrect hinge geometry cannot be corrected fully through adjustment.
