Installing euro hinges but inside walls are only 1/8 or maybe 1/4 thick.
Ive tried using a 1" #6 but holding strength is barely adequate. Is there
a special fastner like a drywall screw for this application?

Thanks

Usually, where the side walls are thin,
you add a block that is attached to the
front stile. A little glue on all
contact surfaces wouldn't hurt either.

Then what is on the other side? Screw into that. If it's hollow, use
something for hollow walls.

I thought you couldnt' screw into that because it would show and look
ugly, but I guess not. So what makes this a special problem, and
what does it have to do with euro hinges?

Considered that but major work to cut-out, fit and fill-in to make the
side wall look decent
