Hey friends, let's dive a little deeper into cabinet door hinges. In this video, I'll show you:

-The four main types (not the only, but the most common) of concealed hinges
-How to choose the right hinges for your project
-How to install cabinet hinges to your door
-How to hang a cabinet door
-How to adjust concealed hinges for a perfect fit

Hinges are really pretty simple, but because there are different types, it can be a bit confusing. My goal here is to break this down and make it as simple as possible and show you how to install and adjust each kind. I hope it's helpful!
