Default Hinge Revisited

Thanks to Bigpole for something that worked. Here's what I did: Cut
a small brass screw of the same size diameter as the hinge hole, so
that it extended about 1/8 inch proud of the hinge when pushed thru
the screw hole of the hinge. Filed it to a conical point. I used a
small jewelry file, because with a #6 brass screw, it's about 1/4 inch
long overall.


So, I screwed the hinges to the body of the cabinet, and then put the
small screwhead thru one hinge, and held it in place with a piece of
masking tape, then closed the hinge. Now the little point is sticking
thru the hinge where the hole will be. I carefully lined up the door
till I got a perfect alignment. Then I thumped the door over the
little pointy thing. When I removed the door, I had a nice indent
where I could drill the pilot hole. Then I put one screw in that
hinge, and used the pointy thing in the 2nd hinge, lined up the door
till it was perfect, and thumped that hinge area to get another
indent.


Put the remaining screws in, and the door was perfect!!!!! Also, the
hinges didn't bind either.


Hope this helps someone.....

Rich.....
