Hidden hinges on MDF doors
Hi. I am building a very cheap mdf cabinet for our laundry. It will
have 3 doors (720mmHx600mmWx18mm) and we want hidden hinges. To keep costs down we are thinking of making mdf doors rather than buying premade wood or particle board doors (diff is about $150!) My question is: how can we attach hidden hinges to mdf? Is it possible? The mdf is only 18mm deep, so after boring out the inset hole in the door will mdf bite the screws enough to attach the hinge? Will the weight of the door make a difference (720mmH x 600mmW) I can always bolt the hinge on the inside upstand/support so I am not too worried about that side of the hinge, but I am worried about the part that attachs to the door itself. All help and advice appreciated AndyC |
