Hinges on shed doors
Hi. My husband and I built a shed but there are no instructions on how to hang the doors. The kit came with piano hinges. Do they go on the inside or outside of the doors?

Linda Hunton Jun 25, 2017Putting the hinge on the outside allows miscreants the ability to break in very easy by unscrewing the hinge. Just a thought.HelpfulReply

Williamon Jun 25, 2017They go on the inside. One side of the hinge attaches to the door frame and the other to the side of the door. When the doors are closed all you see is the barrel of the hinge. Mounting on the outside just won't look right and anyone can just unscrew the hinges to gain access to the shed.HelpfulReply
