The weight of the different door sizes affects the degree of force on the hinges and the smoothness of their work. Therefore the correct match needs to be made. It is also important to pay attention to the size of the hinge blades, which should be wider than the thickness of the door by all means.
Based on the known height and thickness of the door, draw a reasonable distribution of the hinges (see above). To measure the width and thickness of a single hinge, use a tool to dig a pit for the hinge in the door frame. Note: the size of the pit is the length of the single hinge, the thickness of the single hinge x x (width of the single hinge - 2 mm). The 2mm width is cut to prevent friction with the door frame when opening and closing the door.
3. Check the hinges and the location of the pit
Place the monolithic plate page into the slot and check that the surface of the pp board is flush with the surface of the door (door).
