This document provides installation instructions for the Everbilt Soft Close Frameless Inset 110-Degree Hinge. The hinge is designed for inset applications on frameless furniture. Key requirements include a 35mm boring bit for the hinge cup and ensuring the door hole is at least 1/2 inch deep. The hinge allows for a maximum opening angle of 110 degrees.
Planning installation
Before beginning, ensure you have all necessary tools and parts. Verify the number of hinges required based on your door size and weight using the provided guidelines.
Tools required
- #2 Screwdriver
- Pencil or Scribe
- Ruler (in. and mm)
- Drill
- 35 mm boring bit (Forstner bit)
Package contents
- Hinge (2)
- Frameless Mounting Plate (2)
- #5 x 5/8 in. Wood Screw (4)
- #9 x 5/8 in. Wood Screw (4)
Installation steps
- Pre-drilling: Use a pencil and ruler to mark the installation location. Use a 35mm boring bit to drill the door hole 7/8 inch from the edge. Ensure the hole is at least 1/2 inch deep. Do not drill through the door face.
- Installing hinges to the door: Insert each hinge cup into the pre-drilled hole and secure it using two 5/8 inch wood screws.
- Installing mounting plates: Align the mounting plates to the marked position on the cabinet and fasten them with two screws.
- Installing the door: Open the hinges to the fully-extended position. Connect the hinge arm to the mounting plates and press the hinge arm down until it snaps into place.
Adjusting the door
Once installed, you can fine-tune the door position using the adjustment screws on the hinge arm:
- Height Adjustment: Loosen the top mounting screw (1) to adjust the door up or down.
- Overlay Adjustment: Turn the adjustment screw (2) to adjust the door overlay.
- Depth Adjustment: Turn the eccentric screw (3) to adjust the distance of the door from the cabinet.
