\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Exposed cabinet hinges are the traditional hinges that are still visible when the doors of the cabinet are closed. They have a more decorative appearance but can detract from a modern, sleek look. Concealed cabinet hinges (or European hinges) are mounted inside the cabinet so that they are not visible from the outside. They give a clean, modern look and are often used in minimalist or modern kitchen designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Switching from exposed to hidden hinges is not only about aesthetics\u2014it also improves the durability of your cabinets and provides a more seamless and elegant look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-by-Step_Guide_to_Changing_Cabinet_Hinges\"><\/span>Step-by-Step Guide to Changing Cabinet Hinges<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Measure_and_Choose_the_Right_Hidden_Hinges\"><\/span>Measure and Choose the Right Hidden Hinges<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before starting the project, make sure you have the right hidden hinges. The hinges are available in various sizes and types, so measure the existing hinges and determine the right size. You&#8217;ll need hinges that will fit the thickness of your cabinet doors and frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Remove_the_Exposed_Hinges\"><\/span>Remove the Exposed Hinges<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a screwdriver, remove the screws holding the exposed hinges in place. If you will be reusing them to mount your new hinges, make sure you keep the screws, but avoid damaging the cabinet door or frame when removing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mark_the_Location_for_the_New_Hinges\"><\/span>Mark the Location for the New Hinges<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a pencil, mark the exact location where the new hidden hinges will be mounted. Hidden hinges are typically 3-4 inches from the edge of the door and about 2-3 inches from the top or bottom of the cabinet frame. Be sure to follow the hinge manufacturer&#8217;s guidelines for the precise location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Drill_Holes_for_the_Hidden_Hinges\"><\/span>Drill Holes for the Hidden Hinges<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Recessed hinges require precise hole location. Use a drill to bore holes for hinge mounts. You may need to use a special hinge boring jig, which drills the holes at the correct angle and depth for a flush fit. Ensure to check that the holes are aligned with the hinge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Install_the_New_Hinges\"><\/span>Install the New Hinges<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Attach the parts of the hinge to the door and the cabinet frame. Hidden hinges consist of two parts: a door part and a frame part. Align both parts carefully and securely using screws. Properly install the hinge for the door to function smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adjust_the_Hinges\"><\/span>Adjust the Hinges<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the greatest advantages of concealed hinges is that they are adjustable. After installation, you can adjust the hinges to ensure the cabinet doors are properly aligned and open\/close correctly. Most concealed hinges have height, depth, and side-to-side adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Test_the_Doors\"><\/span>Test the Doors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have installed and adjusted the hinges, open and close the doors to ensure proper opening and closing. Check for smooth operation and make adjustments as necessary if the doors do not align properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tips_for_Success\"><\/span>Tips for Success<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Take Your Time: Hidden hinges can be tricky to install, particularly for the novice cabinet hardware installer. Go slowly and measure carefully to avoid mistakes.<br>Use the Correct Tools: Make sure that you have a hinge boring tool, drill, and screwdriver. Having the correct tools will make the job easier to do and provide a professional finish.<br>Consider Hiring a Professional: If you don&#8217;t feel capable of making these alterations yourself, it might be worth hiring a professional to carry out the work to get it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Use_Huiso_Hardware_for_Your_Cabinet_Hinges\"><\/span>Why Use Huiso Hardware for Your Cabinet Hinges?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.huisohardware.com\/ru\/product\/custom-soft-close-kitchen-cabinet-hinges\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.huisohardware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/How-to-Change-Exposed-Cabinet-Hinges-to-Hidden-2-300x300.webp\" alt=\"How to Change Exposed Cabinet Hinges to Hidden 2\" class=\"wp-image-784\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.huisohardware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/How-to-Change-Exposed-Cabinet-Hinges-to-Hidden-2-300x300.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.huisohardware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/How-to-Change-Exposed-Cabinet-Hinges-to-Hidden-2-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.huisohardware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/How-to-Change-Exposed-Cabinet-Hinges-to-Hidden-2-768x768.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.huisohardware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/How-to-Change-Exposed-Cabinet-Hinges-to-Hidden-2-12x12.webp 12w, https:\/\/www.huisohardware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/How-to-Change-Exposed-Cabinet-Hinges-to-Hidden-2-600x600.webp 600w, https:\/\/www.huisohardware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/How-to-Change-Exposed-Cabinet-Hinges-to-Hidden-2-100x100.webp 100w, https:\/\/www.huisohardware.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/How-to-Change-Exposed-Cabinet-Hinges-to-Hidden-2.webp 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u041d\u0430 \u0441\u0430\u0439\u0442\u0435 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.huisohardware.com\/ru\/\">\u041e\u0431\u043e\u0440\u0443\u0434\u043e\u0432\u0430\u043d\u0438\u0435 Huiso<\/a><\/strong>, we specialize in high-quality cabinet hinges that are durable, functional, and fashionable.
