Not as easy as it looks

What may at first seem like a simple task, installing these precision-made, super-soft, quiet cabinet door hinges quickly becomes an exercise in precise measuring and careful drilling in order to the panel mount to install in your cabinet and a 35mm hole drilled 1/2" in your cabinet doors. Be sure to purchase and use a good quality Forstner 35mm bit for this process (a must!) and make sure you don't when drilling this relatively large hole as well as when drilling 2 holes at a time drilling through cabinet doors hinge on cabinet door. After you have installed each set of doors you should use the adjuster to align, straighten and align the doors to keep them looking neat. You can't rush this job, it takes patience to get it right, but you'll be fairly rewarded with great looking and working doors on your closets. The final trim pieces snap into place after all adjustments are complete, adding a very clean look. I used a pair of round felt pads on the corners of each door to make the doors close even more quietly. Very nice, but take your time! I highly recommend these super soft Blum hinges.
