installing hinges ???

what kind of hinges? there are a lot of different ways for a lot of different hinges.

They’re non mortise finial hinges. My plan thus far has been to attach the hinges to the door then mark the face frame stiles. I can’t hold the door in place long enough to accurately make a mark nevertheless screw the the hinge to the stile. Thought maybe someone had an idea for a jig that would act as an extra set of hands. On smaller cabinets I could lay them on their side or face, but that won’t work with this piece.

On overlay doors I clamp a 3/4” x 3/4” piece of wood about 16” long (longer as needed) flush with the bottom of the face frame lower rail with spring clamps. my bottom rails are always 1 1/2” so that would be for 3/4 overlay but you can change as needed.

I got it done using some hand screws to help hold the door in place while I marked out the hinge location on the frame.
thanks for your help!

Wow! Thanks for the excellent tips. Love the story stick idea. I think I’ll give that a try next time
Niki that is basically what I ended up doing except that I used two hand screws. One like you have pictured and another one to help balance the door in the frame. Thanks again! Donna

i like the pictures… nice clamps, niki.
