To achieve a good result, it is essential to take precise measurements, mark the position correctly and check that both parts are properly aligned.<\/p><h3 style=\"font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif;\">1. Mark the position<\/h3><p>This type of hinge usually requires a <strong>recess<\/strong>, i.e. a small cut-out in the edge of the door that allows it to be integrated into the wood and prevents it from protruding.<\/p><p>To do this, place the hinge on the edge of the door, ensuring that the pin is correctly positioned against the edge. Next, mark its outline with a pencil. This mark will serve as a guide for cutting the recess accurately.<\/p><h3 style=\"font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif;\">2. Cut the recess<\/h3><p>To cut the recess, you will need a <strong>chisel and a mallet, preferably a rubber one<\/strong>.<\/p><p>Start by tracing the outline you marked earlier with the chisel. This will define the work area and reduce the risk of the wood splintering during the process.<\/p><p>Next, gradually cut away the interior until you reach the required depth. The hinge must fit perfectly and sit flush with the surface, neither protruding nor being recessed.<\/p><h3 style=\"font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif;\">3. Securing the hinge<\/h3><p>Once the recesses have been cut, position the hinge parts and secure them with the appropriate screws.<\/p><p>It is best to tighten them gradually and without applying too much pressure to avoid damaging the wood. Also check that both hinges are aligned and correctly spaced, as this will facilitate the movement of the door and improve the final finish.<\/p><p>Whenever possible, use <strong>flat-head<\/strong> screws of a size suitable for the thickness of the board.<\/p><h3 style=\"font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif;\">4. Repeat the process<\/h3><p>Finally, repeat the same procedure on the side or panel where the door will be fitted.<\/p><p>Mark the position, cut the recess and check that both parts match up before proceeding with the final assembly. Correct alignment at this stage is key to achieving a smooth and stable opening.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b8767f elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"0b8767f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=wqvLZ543Ofk&quot;,&quot;start&quot;:6,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5647e79 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5647e79\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 style=\"font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif;\"><strong>How to fit cup hinges step by step<\/strong><\/h2><p><strong>Cup hinges<\/strong> require a little more precision during fitting, as it is necessary to drill a specific hole in the door and ensure the installation dimensions are correct.<\/p><p>If you follow the manufacturer\u2019s instructions and work carefully, the process is straightforward and ensures a precise fit and stable operation.<\/p><h3 style=\"font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif;\">1. Choosing the right hinge<\/h3><p>The first step is to select the correct model based on the type of door, the opening angle, the thickness of the boards and the intended application.<\/p><p>There are various <strong>cup hinges for furniture<\/strong>, so it is advisable to check their technical specifications beforehand and choose the option that best suits the project.<\/p><p>If you need further information, you can consult our guide on the different types of cup hinges and their applications.<\/p><h3 style=\"font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif;\">2. Drill the hole in the board<\/h3><p>Fitting measurements may vary depending on the model, so it is important to always consult the technical data sheet before starting.<\/p><p>Once you have identified the correct position, mark the drilling point and make a small guide mark with an awl to make the router\u2019s job easier.<\/p><p>Next, drill the board carefully and gradually, monitoring the depth at all times to avoid drilling right through it.<\/p><h3 style=\"font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif;\">3. Fix the hinge<\/h3><p>Insert the cup into the hole and check that the hinge sits securely against the surface.<\/p><p>Using a set square, check that it is correctly aligned and perpendicular to the edge of the door. Once the position is correct, secure it with the appropriate screws.<\/p><h3 style=\"font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif;\">4. Fitting the door to the cabinet<\/h3><p>Position the door in its final position and check that it is correctly aligned with the frame.<\/p><p>Mark the fixing points on the side of the cabinet and make small slides with an awl to make screwing easier and improve accuracy.<\/p><p>Finally, fix the hinges to the cabinet and repeat the procedure at all mounting points. Before finishing, check that the door opens and closes correctly and make any necessary adjustments to ensure even alignment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-37cf6be elementor-arrows-position-inside elementor-widget elementor-widget-image-carousel\" data-id=\"37cf6be\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;slides_to_show&quot;:&quot;3&quot;,&quot;navigation&quot;:&quot;arrows&quot;,&quot;image_spacing_custom&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:19,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;autoplay&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_hover&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;pause_on_interaction&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;autoplay_speed&quot;:5000,&quot;infinite&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;speed&quot;:500,&quot;image_spacing_custom_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;image_spacing_custom_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]}}\" data-widget_type=\"image-carousel.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel-wrapper swiper\" role=\"region\" aria-roledescription=\"carousel\" aria-label=\"Image Carousel\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image-carousel swiper-wrapper\" aria-live=\"off\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"1 of 4\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.emuca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/bisagra10-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"bisagra10\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"2 of 4\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.emuca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/bisagra11-218x300.jpg\" alt=\"bisagra11\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"3 of 4\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.emuca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/bisagra07-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"bisagra07\" \/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"swiper-slide\" role=\"group\" aria-roledescription=\"slide\" aria-label=\"4 of 4\"><figure class=\"swiper-slide-inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"swiper-slide-image\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.emuca.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/bisagra06-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"bisagra06\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-prev\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eicon-chevron-left\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-swiper-button elementor-swiper-button-next\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"eicon-chevron-right\"><\/i>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1eaff1c0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1eaff1c0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><strong>Find the right hinge for every project<\/strong><\/h2><p>Precise installation is essential, but choosing the right model is just as important to ensure smooth operation and a long-lasting finish.<\/p><p>In our <a href=\"https:\/\/resources.emuca.com\/en-gb\/hinges-technical-catalogue\"><strong>technical catalogue of hinges<\/strong><\/a> you\u2019ll find a range of solutions to suit every need: from <strong>cup hinges<\/strong> with different opening angles to models for glass, lift-up doors and special applications.<\/p><p>Thanks to this variety, it is possible to cater for both standard installations and projects requiring greater precision, discretion or more seamless integration into the furniture.<\/p><p>Now that you know the main steps for carrying out a correct installation, all that remains is to choose the solution that best suits your project.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Correct installation is key to achieving a smooth opening action, good door alignment and long-lasting performance.
