How do I choose the right hinge, plate, screws and degree of opening for my project?
Lets handle swing first. If the cabinet is in a corner, with its door opening into another cabinet, the swing should prevent the door from slamming into the door next to it. In that case, you’d choose a hinge with a 90-95 deg. swing. The larger the swing angle, the further the door will swing open. Use the charts in section 3 of “The Complete Häfele” catalog to help you decide which swing and style of hinge would be best suited for your project. Style, function and price are all factors in any hinge purchase, so look carefully at all three. If you decide that you want to use concealed hinges, study page 3.5 of “The Complete Häfele” catalog to help you choose the proper mounting plate and to calculate the “Tab” (the distance from the edge of the door to the edge of the 35-40mm hole for the hinge.
