How to Install Door Hinges - Very Easy Method

[simonafloat]

I'm a professional carpenter of 30 years. This is probably the best method for a diyer'er IMHO. Couple of suggestions though. Before you score around the hinge, pilot and screw it down. Even though the hinge is 'upside down' the holes are still correct for its final fit. And with it screwed down you will score round it much easier. Take several passes with the knife so you end up scoring as deep as the hinge pocket needs to be. Makes the chiselling stage much easier. With a good sharp chisel and some nice grain in the door you can also sometimes chisel out the entire pocket in one piece from the side, but only if you scored deep enough.

Love this, fast, no long dialog to bore me.

I am a joiner of 50yrs, this was painful to watch, the hinge is the wrong way round, set the depth with a marking gauge for depth and width, yes put the knife lines in, personally I only Mark one knife line, then feather cut the length to the depth close to the gauge line, then pare it out, finish to the knife line, then drop the hinge back in and put the knife line in, and take this out, this way you get a nice tight fit, especially when working on solid Oak doors, razor sharp chisels are the key.Even though I have used routers to do the bulk of the work I still like to do the final fit by hand.

Carpenter here use a hinge gauge, cheap effective and less chance of injury. I always make a hole with the pin in the side of the door at the end of the hinge leaf first to stop the hinge gauge line extending accidentally beyond the hinge leaf of finished doors. Set the hinge depth at half ball is a good to minimise bound hinges.

Wow!! Where can I get one of those "jackhammer chisels"?

[SamFishback]

Thank you. I appreciate that cross cutting since I was afraid of chipping the door.

A yeah, , forgot to mention: either a gifted chiselman or a couple of years of experience. And nice timber helps. Let's try 50year old Tasmanian oak. My vote goeeeés to...router

[sheridangatley]

Same for me ... hinge jig, router and top bearing router cutter. Chop out the corners. Done. That's the straightest grained timber I've seen in a while. Good vid though.

Muy bien .
Trabajo perfecto 👌, gracias.

@ 1.28 he edits it right to cut out the extra wood removal to fit the hinge properly 😂😂 if you look before the slot dips in the middle then is suddenly flat 🤪

[ProToolsApproved]

Yeah. In a solid wood door. Dare you to try that on the hollow core garbage mdf pieces of trash everyone wants installed.

[edwilliams]

Just that easy, presuming you have a balsawood door

[lukasmckenna]

gonna get me a cheap wood shaver and fix this damn bathroom door!

[lisamichele]

Could someone please tell me the name of the tool that is used at the end of the video to put the screws in, thank you. :)

A very slow method, as a carpenter for 40 years u use a chisel on a downward slope of about 45% causing a lourverd style cut along the length of the hinge and then simply knock out with flat side of chisel.

[burreifort]

man, how to fix it on both sides, not just one.

[Surreyredneck]

“easy method”….
without a jig and some sort of power tool that looks like the “only method”

[mixalis]

this is definitely a 'quick & dirty' way but not suggested for cabinetry or valued furniture (or even doors). Chiseling is not applied correctly and one can run into very high risk of splitting the wood beyond the recessed area. I do exactly the same when creating a 2x4 structure for outdoors... but for indoors? Absolutely NOT!
