How to Use a Concealed Hinge Jig

Add new doors to existing cabinets for a quick kitchen or bathroom makeover on a budget! The Kreg Concealed Hinge Jig allows you to drill hinge holes easily, so you don't have to pay extra for pre-bored holes.

How did you know where to screw in or attach the part that is on the actual cabinet. I’ve seen a lot of videos and none that I’ve seen show how to attach the cabinet portion. Thanks.

What do you do if you have an inset cabinet with a lip that covers 1/4" around the cabinet opening?

hi, do u have a video demonstrating screwing the hinge to the cabinet with a face frame?

Just hung my first door with this guide. Barely ever used a drill before. Thanks so much for your help!

On most Euro cabinets (no face frame), its a little different. You need to bring the center for the cabinet side of each hinge, over to the door, and then center the jig on those C/L's lines rather then the top and bottom (Usually you drill 32mm holes on the carcass side and attach the cabinet hardware their firs)t. For making sure I get it correct, I create a story stick sample of both sides for the hinges being used, and then I have all the measurement correct. Still a great jig.

Increasing the offset increases the overlay. If you draw a centerline for the hinges, its easy to transfer the centerline to the cabinet. The fixing holes on my jig do not align correctly with my blum hinges; I just use a self-centering bit to drill the pilot holes. great little video-good job!

I've not seen this Kreg jig before. Looks like none of my local Lowe's have it in stock, not even online. I have other Kreg jigs and use them often. I must get this! lol Thanks for posting this.

How did you determine the depth of the drilling?

Thank you so much! I have the jig and needed a sensible, easy instruction before tackling my doors, and now I have it. Can't thank you enough. Cheers, Liz (Australia).

At 5:37 It's Alive! Enjoyed the video...I subbed and I am going to order the jig soon!

Best explanation on using this jig. You used a very logical approach and I thank you for it.

[woodywood]

good instructive video!
At 5:30, you use a square... maybe you don't need to do it, since you already drill 2 pilot holes, and they are supposed to be square.
"by definition" the jig does it. At least, it's why I think!

I just noticed how beautiful your hands are.
