Replacing
hinges on your cabinet doors is easy enough, but plan to
take your time – you'll need to remove each door to work
on it. Place a soft cloth on a nearby countertop to use as
a work surface, and take care not to drop any tools on
your countertops. |
| |
| |
|
Use a screwdriver or power screwdriver to remove the old
doors, hinges, catches, and other hardware. |
 |
| |
| |
|
Set a combination square at the 2-inch mark and position
the new hinges an equal distance from the top and bottom
of the door. Use a finish nail or an awl to mark the screw
locations. |
 |
| |
| |
|
Drill pilot holes and attach the hinges with screws. Take
care not to drill all the way through the cabinets! Mount
the new knobs, handles, and catches. A power screwdriver
will speed up this job, but be careful not to strip the
threads or break a screw. |
 |
| |
| |
|
Attach the cabinet doors to the frames. Make sure the
doors overlap the openings by an equal amount on all
sides. Allow a 1/8-inch gap between doors that cover a
single opening. |
