| Hi everyone
I am replacing the doors on framed kitchen cabinets and I am trying to achieve a frameless look. Most of the Euro hinges I have seen for framed cabs max out at 1&1/4 inch. Does the overlay have to be the same on all 4 sides of the cabinet? If I make the height and the side opposite the hinge greater than 1&1/4 inch am I going to have problems. If anyone has experience with a good euro hinge with a greater overlay than 1&1/4 inch please let me know. Thanks in advance |

| I do not see the height being an issue since the installation depends on hinge placement rather than an adjustment. I am not sure how you are installing hinges on a 3/4 face frame with a Euro hinge. But since adjustments need to be made for pulling in and letting out to make vertical installation straight, there may be a problem there. It is hard to know if all your door openings and face frames are plumb and level to begin with. Have you checked all your options for a face frame hinge you could adapt to this? Or remove the face frames and remake door and frames to be less width? Just throwing options out there. I used to manage a kitchen department for a custom cabinet shop, so I am limited in that I have not actually built cabinets myself.

| Why don't you check out Barker Doors.com. They have great instructions on how to measure for all the different overlays, and including inset. |
