Installing Hanging Doors

Setting the Hinges on the Door.

  • Set the top hinge in place on the edge of the door, 7" from the top of the door.
  • The barrel of the hinge should be 1/4" from the edge of the door and should be on the side to which the door will swing open.
  • Holding the hinge in place, cut a 1/8" cut marking outlining the hinge.
  • Repeat the process for the bottom hinge, placing it 11" from the bottom of the door.
  • If there is a middle hinge, center it between the top and bottom hinges.
