Installation
1. Make sure the hinges are compatible with your cabinet doors. There are different types of concealed hinges, such as full overlay, half overlay, and inset, so choose the one that matches your cabinet doors.
2. Measure and mark where the hinges will be installed on the door and cabinet frame.
3. Pre-drill holes for the screws.
4. Attach the hinge to the door and frame with the screws.
5. Adjust the hinges to ensure the door is level and closes properly.
6. Repeat for all hinges on the door.
Maintenance
1. Regularly check the screws to ensure they are tight and secure.
2. Lubricate the hinges with a silicone spray or lubricating oil to prevent rust and ensure smooth operation.
3. Clean the hinges with a soft cloth and mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris.
4. Avoid slamming the doors as this can damage the hinges and cause misalignment.
5. If a hinge becomes damaged or worn, replace it promptly to prevent further damage to the door.
