lighthearted Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Hi! I need help choosing the correct Blum Hinge model. I have 1-1/2" thick, inset doors. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chestnut Posted September 6, 2018 Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Need a lot more information than that but i'll link the blum brochure that has all the information you'll need. My thought is 1-1/2" thick is too thick for them, https://www.blum.com/file/concealedhinges_ep_dok_bus?country=us&language=en 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 Inset thick doors will require a wider gap on both vertical edges. They do make concealed hinges for thick doors but they are usually for overlay applications. You might be able to get thicker baseplates or need to make your own spacers to make it work. I strongly suggest you build a mock up cabinet & door to practice how big the gaps need to be. My guess is start at 1/8 gaps and don't be suprised if it's over 3/16 before the door swings without hitting the frame. The top & bottom gaps might not need to be very big but they will look funny if they aren't approximately the same as the vertical gaps. Beveling the edges slightly might let you reduce the gaps visually, wider edges on the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
