Any hints on mortising and mounting door hinges?
A. The leaf or flap with the most joints(knuckles) is the side that you should afix to your door frame. The cut-outs should be equal in depth, square and plumb, ensuring that the pins will be accurately aligned. Timber movement and shrinkage could mean that the hinges need to be re-aligned at a later date. The correct gauge and type of screw must be used and the cut-outs should be carefully made to provide clearance for the door to open.
