That template changed my life as a DIYer.

Glad I watched this before attempting - making a template piece will make the process much easier but I wouldn't have thought to do that without this video. Thanks for sharing.

Oh wow the template idea just unlocked the whole process for me. Thank you.

I a relative noob and working with 3/4 ply. The so simple and obvious (or not) idea of a short temp door was a lifesaver! Thank you!

Installed my first full-overlay hinges today and I found this very useful, expecially the small scrap with a hinge installed to use to locate the cabinet half of the hinge! I used a Kreg jig to drill the door side and the scrap to mark screw holes for the other.

Thanks for this! Wouldn't have thought of using a template piece like that.. Will make my next project much easier!

Great video. Easy to follow, step by step. I am about to use these hinges for the first time so this was extremely helpful. Thanks for posting it.

Error warning, in the video they suggest getting an even spacing at the top and then screwing the hinges in. The guy then holds the template in place with his hand.
that is not the way you maintain an even spacing. To maintain the exact spacing across a single cab or a 1000 cabs you use a spacer strip. If you want an 1/8" gap at the top of all your doors you s cut a 1/8"spacer strip and place it at the top of the template and press it to the top of the cab .If you have two or more doors in the cabinet you cut the spacer strip to run the entire width of the cabinet and keep it in place every time to use the template for drilling the hinge bases.

Thanks for the video, i was puzzling how i could access to install with the actual door, and yes the template!!!! thanks so much.

Would never have thought of making a shallow template!!

[MarkJones-zn]

Thank you so much for this video!!! If I hadn't found it I would still be pulling my hair out!! I was fitting non-Ikea hinges to an Ikea cabinet with with no instructions. In the hinge packet there was some simple instructions and a formula to work out where to drill the holes for the hinge, but absolutely nothing about where to attach the hinge mounts. Your mini door method worked a treat and saved me from losing my sh*t. Again.
Thanks!!!

Getting ready to install concealed hinges for a door on a shop/tool cart I just built. Your video and method will prove extremely useful for this, thank you!! I also recently acquired the Kreg door mortising jig, so glad to see you use it too!

I have been scratching my head how to line up doors with cabinate box without struggling. this is truly amazing 👏

[angellas.]

After doing and re-doing the cups, for a 3/4 plywood door, use the #3 setting on the Kreg jig, to drill out the cup holes, for Blum 71B355(0) full overlay hinge. I put the 0, in parentheses because on the hinge itself it’s marked without it. In the Blum catalog it’s listed with the 0.

Awesome video, thank you for making it. It confirmed my thought process of making a jig.

[prasannakumarguhan]

[mjnorrad]

Thank you very much! I am sure I can do this without messing up my project now!

[Jeff_Eats_Local]

I watched the full build yesterday! Glad you made a separate video just on this process!
