Are there any instructions for this model of hinge. I have a drill gig and i need to know how far in from the door frame to set it. 3mm, 4mm, 5mm?

I had no instructions. I uses some scrap wood and adjusted the drill setting until I had what I wanted. You may be able to find some information from the manufacturer on line.

Yes, there were instructions, but I'm not much help because I bought for a replacement and since it didn't fit, I just set it aside as a loss. Sorry......

...should have pondered before I typed...I think you are asking how big to drill the holes that the screws and corresponding jacket go into. I too was replacing existing Blum hinges. My advice...put a drill bit next to the white jacket and if you can see the drill bit when it's behind the white....it's too big....start small and work your way up. Hope that helps.

Sorry but I do not know that information. If you can send me a photo of your current one -especially the hinge then I can tell you if it is the same. Brian briaddress@yahoo.com

I use a 3/8" drill bit when drilling my hole. I believe the inside diameter of the hole is the same or very slightly smaller. Hope this helps! :o)

The drawers, including the track that needs to pass through the cabinet opening are 20". The basket itself is 19 3/4". The width of the bracket is 20 3/4". The instructions provide that the unit be shifted to the side of the cabinet without the hinge. The top drawer track should be secured to the finished frame (not the inside of the cabinet) 1/4" back from the opening. This is the only sideways anchor. The instructions are based upon a single door cabinet as shown, however, my cabinets have a double door with stop trim attached to the inside of one door. This means I have 2 hinged sides, but more importantly, the doors won't close if the unit is mounted as instructed because of the stop. Instead I had to set the unit an inch deeper into the cabinet so the doors would close. I anchored the brackets to the bottom and top back as instructed and the unit worked fine, although the top drawer swayed a little during opening and closing. To stabilize it I cut 2 small blocks of wood (In my case 1 3/8") to shim the front top brackets to the side of the cabinet to stabilize the top drawer. I attached the shims to each side of the bracket. It fit snugly so it was not necessary to anchor the shims to the side of the cabinet. Alternate instructions would have saved me some time. Otherwise, pretty happy with the unit.

No. Two screws mount the hinge to the face frame; three screws are about 3/8" behind that plane and mount to the rear of the door panel. The door panel should have a 3/8 x 3/8 inch rabbet on at least the mounting edge (and usually the top and bottom edges) to create an overlay of the panel on the frame.

Hi Hal, our doors are big and heavy and this does not work very well on them. The hinge pin is 3.5 inches, so we are thinking that this may not be long enough for you if you need 4 inches. Hope this helps.

The hardware is very slick how it can handle holes from 3'4" up to 1", and can adjust for minor misalignments of the holes. The instructions are somewhat minimal (and metric). The top hole should be 2-1/8" down from the top of the door, with a 2" spacing between the upper and lower holes.

Hello Joshua, I think the best way would to get the 4" port, measure it and use a hole saw bit for your drill to cut it to just the diameter to let the flange fit in the hole. I used a router on the outside of the hole to kind of match the contour of the outside flange. This was done more for cosmetic purposes. If you route it remember that the diameter of the outside of the hole will be larger but should make a snug fit with room to put the anchoring screws in. Once in, I would a little calking to insure a tight fit and no rattling later on.

My opening was 29" and the 29" door fit perfectly. Tne door & hinge are about 28 1/2 , then you have the rubber seal which seals the door. Dreamline has a website, with an on line chat. They were extremely helpful when I ordered my door. I suggest you talk to them.

My door fits too tightly for me to be able to use the brackets, and I don't have the brackets any more. But maybe this will help: it is 42 inches from the ironing surface to the center of the small holes that are in the vertical center of the horizontal pipe at the top of the frame. The brackets were supposed to fit into the holes. The brackets were about 4 or 5 inches long. So the number you want is approximately 46 or 47 inches. If someone can provide the exact length of the brackets, you can get a more exact number.

The bolt (screw) circle is 11 5/8" so the hole diameter should be about 1/2" smaller than that or NO BIGGER THAN 11 1/8" otherwise the screws will have nothing to screw into. You can probably get away with using only 4 screws at 12-3-6 and 9 O'Clock. That's what I did.

they are closer than 3/8 apart same jigs that door makers use to put handle holes in doors . I thought it was super easy to use and fast. just make sure you double check hole locations as they are the same from door to door before you start to drill I marked the holes on jig with marker just to make sure I drill the same hole location every time . but you cant go wrong with these I am not a carpenter by any means but job turned out beautiful

The dimension of the 2 hole narrow part that mounts on the cabinet frame is 2-3/4" long. the part that mounts to the back of the door (3 holes) is 1-1/4 inches long by 1-5/8 inches high. The "offset" measures 1/2 inch. I hope this is helpful to you Ken.

Yes, it's designed for 3/4" holes. In a 3/4" hole it's a little loose so if you have a drill bit just a tiny bit smaller (probably metric), try that. It's much more stable. BTW, the things work beautifully if the piece you're holding has flat edges. If they're rounded at all, the work piece will jump all over the place.

Hello, I tested by inserting an actual drill bit: the 3/16"-1/4"=perfect, the 5/16" would be max size, however, clip will not sit flat as in the photo.9/32"?

My husband measured the bit he will be using to drill the holes for my pulls, and he said it takes a 5/32 drill bit, or if you want the hole a little larger, use 11/64 bit size. Hope this helps!
