How Do I Determine Left or Right Boring for My Cabinet Doors?
Determining whether your door requires left or right boring is simple. While looking at the front of the door, decide where you want the hinges:
- If you want the hinges on the left side, select “Left.”
- If you want the hinges on the right side, select “Right.” This ensures your doors swing in the direction that works best for your space.
How Many Hinges Will My Door Be Bored For?
The number of hinges your door requires depends on its size:
- Smaller doors are typically bored for two hinges.
- Larger doors are bored for three hinges to provide additional support and stability.
