When installing kitchen cabinets one of many option we have today is the self closing euro style hinge. Unlike the older version’s of this hardware these are hidden behind the door and go unseen on the face. The concealed hinge when starting to close contains a self closing mechanical spring that once near the halfway point will kick in and shut the door.older face mount cabinet hingeSelf closing euro concealed hingeThe euro hinge typically require a 35mm hole to be bored roughly 1/8″ from the back hinge side of the door. Some larger heavier doors may need 3 hinges but usually 2 will get her done. These will retro-fit from the older version with relative ease, especially when some of the older kitchens are all solid core grade #A hardwoods. But all the hardware is worn out and broken, with new hardware IE hinges and new drawer slides and knobs. Put a refinish overall and a whole new perspective in great working order has been achieved.
