if you've received complete kitchen
units from us and the doors are not
drilled as in the handle less of the
metallic you will receive a hinge whole
cooking kit in this kit you will find
the following items so the first one
will be a jig for actually marking where
the hinges need drilling a two mill
pilot drill bit a thirty five mil hinge
hole cutter and also a set of clear and
easy to follow instructions so the next
thing to do is to decide whether or not
this is going to be a base unit or a
wall unit door and where it is going to
be hinged on the left hand side on the
right hand side so in this instance I'm
going to do this one as a left-hand
hinge base unit so the first thing to do
is a mark which side of the door I want
to drill the hinges on just as a little
indicator by putting a little cross so
next thing to do is put your pilot bit
in your drill and this is the jig so for
our cabinets the hinges are set at
ninety nine millimeters from the end of
the door which is what the jig is also
set up that is set at ninety nine
millimeters from the end of the jig
board to the center point so what you do
is you place your jig on to your door
ensuring at the end is flush with the
end of the door once is so you basically
drill all three pilot holes just to mark
the door
you know you're not drilling deep you
don't drill right into the doll you are
just literally indicating where the
drillings are so you can see that
there's free holes you also do the same
on the opposite end of the door ensuring
that the end is flush once the end is
flush again free little pilot holes
also we'd be complete kitchen units you
will have got a box like this it will
have your soft clothes and hinges yeah
fixing plates fixing to the carcass
screws rubber buffers and door handles
what you will need to do is you will
need to take one of these hinges out of
here because when you're drilling the
doll we need to make sure the depth is
deep enough to allow the hinge to go in
properly but not too deep that you're
obviously going through the face of the
door so we'll just place that there for
a second and in the drill now I have the
35 mil drill hinge hole cutter so the
spike on the end is a locator so out the
three holes you want to put the spike
into the center locator basically what
you do is you drill deep enough that
this bit is just inside the face of this
doll go careful with this don't go over
drilling it because you're not wanting
to come out the face so just go steady
with what you're doing so we're going to
put it in the center hole a very small
rounding movement will make it cut a lot
better than just trying to build
straight
[Music]
so you see at the moment now we know
enough flush with the back of this with
the back with the back of the door what
I'll do is I'll just give that little
try now before we drill a bit further so
that is sitting nice and flush now and
you can see where the other two screw
holes are for the actual screws so what
we'll do is we'll drill the next one so
they actually got them both drilled
before we screw them off
[Music]
so again we'll just try it it's not bad
that but it just wants a little touch
more out now you got sitting nice and
flush now is that so the next thing to
do will be to actually screw the hinges
on so if we get the screws out and just
screw them straight into the actual two
pile holes that you marked before which
should ensure that the hinge is Square
to the edge of the door so that's the
hinge is actually on to the door the
only thing left to do now
make sure that dust is just off the end
and just stick the rub-a-dub offers on
you
