The doors and frames need to be chiseled out to accommodate the thickness of the hinge. I usually attach to the frame first, after chiseling, then line my door up, mark it and chisel that out. It's a pain to hold the door up while attaching. Just prop it up with a piece of scrap lumber, get one screw in the top, then one in the bottom. The rest is gravy.
put a dab of toothpaste on the hinge and place it where you want to place it then drill your holes WALA you got it lined up. 😊
Attach the hinges to the frame first. Then line up the doors and attach to the doors. Once I have one door on I run painters tape across the top of the frame so I can line up the other doors with the top of the first door.
Thanks a lot I will try with a deal more confidence in future, I especially like the "toothpaste trick" easy to remove. But all good, thanks again.
