Professional carpenter Ken DeCost prefers the European type of hinge, which is installed on the interior of the cabinet and concealed when the door is closed.

Half Overlay. When a partial overlay is installed, the cabinet door partially covers the cabinet box when the door is closed, while the wood edge inside the cabinet box is exposed when the door is open. Before deciding on cabinet hinges, it's necessary to consider the type of cabinet box and the type of cabinet doors. Cabinet boxes typically come in two different designs, including face frame and frameless, while cabinet doors can be inset, full overlay, or partial overlay. Now, what is a full overlay hinge? Before we get to the description, remember that there are three types of hinges that you can choose from when you’re assembling your cabinet and doors. It’s essential to know these three types of hinges as they provide efficient use of your entries. It’s essential that the hinge type you use matches the cabinet door style that you are building so that the door is mounted with the proper amount of clearance.

If you don’t have these items in your garage, then it’s okay. Call your carpenter and let him do the dirty work for you. But if you do have these items, then it’s time to assemble your whole overlay hinges. Step 1: Place a mark on the door where you will place the hinge base for the cabinet

However, you must remember that the overlay doors and overlay hinges cover slightly less than half of the side of the furniture. This is the reason why full overlay cabinet hinges are mostly used in single kitchen units. By mounting these hinges to a cabinet that consists of a pair of doors, we may have more difficulty in controlling the vertical gap between the two parts of the furniture fronts. Installing whole overlay hinges is easier than you think. If you have the right tools, you can do the job much faster rather than calling and waiting for a carpenter to fix it for you. Before you start assembling your whole overlay hinges and cabinet doors, you need to have the proper equipment: These types of hinges have two sides that face each other and are joined in the middle by a ball joint or pin joint. This is a simple design that is used for many different types of cabinets and is popular because of its simplicity and reliability. One side of the hinge fixes to the main frame of the cabinet, while the other side will be fixed to the cabinet door. They are easy to install and could be fitted without difficulty by anyone who owns a screwdriver. A half overlay cabinet is where two doors sit over the top of a frame and meet in the middle. Behind the closing edge of the two doors, at the point where they meet, will be a central post or partitioning wall. These types of cabinet doors require a half overlay hinge, which is attached to the partitioning wall, and allow both doors to open and close snugly against each other without hitting each other. These hinges need to be small to allow them to both fit on the central partition. The look of these hinges is not considered to be important because they won’t be seen when the doors are closed. 7.
