I'm bought some concealed (Euro?) hinges from Screwfix for the doors
of a row of bathroom units I'm making:

Now, I've fitted these things from scratch in the past, but I now
can't figure out how the hell to do it! Must be getting old :-(

Which component do you fit first - frame or door ? - and how do you
get the positioning correct? There's no info that came with mine to
give any inkling, and Google is unfriendly on the matter today.

Fit to the door first. Get a door and a free sidewall, and hold the door in
the correct closed position relative to the sidewall . Then offer up a hinge
in the closed position, and determine how far from the edge of the door it
needs to be. Then drill the recesses in the door and fix the hinges to the
door. Finally, offer the door plus hinges up to the free sidewall and
determine where to attach the arms of the hinges to the sidewall.

If you get it more or less right, the hinges are usually adjustable in two
of the 3 planes - so you can 'fine tune' them.
