Barrel Hinges

There are so many kinds of barrel hinges out there.

I assume yours are the hidden kind where each side of the barrel is drilled into the corrosponding box part.

A horizontal boring machine is nice but few can afford such luxuries. I make a jig and use a drill press.

Again, the hole dia., would depend upon the hinge. A set of calipers would give you the right dia to drill.

regardless of the hinge they are a PITA to install. A trial and error method works for me.

Good Luck

Your description matches the type of hinge I’ve tried.
Its setting the depth that is proving difficult for me.
