Step 1 Understanding Hardware
Capabilities and Limitations
The types of hinges and
drawer mounts used in
frameless cabinetry are
truly amazing works of
engineering.
Once a door is mated
to its mounting,
a simple turn of a
screwdriver allows a
great deal of
adjustment... enough to
make the tight tolerances
between the doors and
moldings typical of this
product look straight,
even and attractive.
The concealed hinges used with our product allow a door to be quickly removed and
reinstalled from a cabinet for installation, maintenance or cleaning. When installed, the
adjustment screws on the hinge allow the door to be easily moved up, down, side to
side and in-and-out from each hinge location in order to finely align a door to adjacent
doors, drawer faces and moldings.
Depending on the model of hinge, the total amount of movement in any one direction
can be up to 1/8”.
Drawer brackets allow for the removal and reinstallation of a drawer face and provide
approximately 1/8” vertical adjustment for each side of the drawer face.
Used together, the available adjustment in this system allows the doors and drawers
of a well installed run of cabinetry to be adjusted to the very tight and even reveals
expected from frameless cabinets.
These available
adjustments will never
compensate for shoddy
installation or poor
workmanship in the
assembly or
installation of the
cabinetry.
However, if the
cabinets are installed
plum, level and square,
the available adjustment
in the hinges and drawer
brackets can help make
the overall fit and finish
of a kitchen installation
attain a precision look.
