Hinge Placement

Post by Chris B Campbell »

Hey All,
Standard 94.5" tall cabinet with full length door. 3 hinges required, I want to move the center hinge so it's not into the middle of an adjustable shelf. No problem go to Center hinge offset, input 6 and yeap hinge placement moves UP and out of the shelf's adjustable holes. Nice but not ideal.
What I want to do is move the hinge DOWN so it's below the adjustable shelf's holes, tried -6 that did not work it just repeated the previous movement. Is it even possible to offset the center hinge placement DOWN from center?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris
Using metric.
-100mm works for down and 100 moves up, works for me.
I can't think of why it wont let you, perhaps cabinet locks or opening locks?
Just thought.
Haven't tested but maybe distance between hinges?

Chris,

The negative inset option should work as you are wanting it to, can you post the cabinet or shoot it to me in an email?

Figured it out... Like a lot of changes I needed to delete and re apply. Odd that it allowed me to move up from center then back without deleting the doors. Thanks for the replies, have a nice Fathers Day weekend,
Chris
