The first step will be to ascertain which kind of cabinet you own. With face frame cabinets the correct sort of hinge will be determined by how much the cabinet door overlaps the face frame. With face frame cabinets the hinge is mostly installed to the inside of the face frame. For cabinets without a face frame the sort of hinge is decided by how much the cupboard door goes over the sides of the cupboard. These sorts of hinges are attached to the side of the cabinet.

The 2 main kinds of kitchen cabinet hinges that you should buy include mortise cabinet hinges and non-mortise hinges. With a mortise hinge the cabinet door and frame will have to be cut out in order to attach the hinge. A non mortis hinge is fastened to the cabinet doors and frames with screws. These kinds of hinges aren’t set into the door and are much simpler to install.

Another piece of information you will need in order to decide on the right kitchen cupboard hinges is the weight and size of your kitchen cupboard doors. The weight of the door will determine how many hinges you’ll need. A heavier door will need extra hinges to hold it in place and give the chance for the doors to shut correctly. You will also need to identify which side of the door the kitchen cabinet hinges will be mounted. Kitchen cabinet door hinges are made to be used on either left hand or right hand doors.
