Using a pencil, mark 10 inches from the bottom of your door after you have measured it with a ruler or a measuring tape. Then lay your hinge by the edge of the door, making sure the hinge's bottom is where you marked with the pencil.
Take your hinge and use its center screw hole to leave another mark on the door. Using your pencil, trace the hinge's outline so that it becomes easy for you to mortise it later. From the top of the door, measure 5 inches with your ruler.
Placing the top edge on the mark you made, place your top hinge against the door's side. Create another mark on your door, using the center screw hole again and outlining the hinge. If you plan to use only hinges, consider this the end of your measurement.
Taking the distance you measured from the top mark of the screw hole to the bottom mark, divide the total by two and see the number. Track Your Order. Need Help with Door Hardware? Call us Door Hardware.
