Planning To Change Constant Torque Hinge

If you are looking for kitchen cabinets and thinking you want to make some changes, have you thought about changing the position of the furniture hinges? While this might look like a simple idea, it can truly make a major difference in the outlook of the doors. Moreover, if you have had a set of cabinet doors that don’t open properly, the best way is to bang against something and changing the direction of the hinges can rectify this.

Here’s how it should be done:

First, take a close look at the cabinet doors when closed to check which direction is best for your constant torque hinge to go.

Remember, changing the placement of your furniture hinge can not only change the direction they open, but the overall outlook of the doors.

After that, decide what type of changes you want and proceed accordingly.

Changing the sides of the hinges

If you want to change the side of the door on which the hinges are set, there is more to do than just switching the furniture hinge from one side to another. Moreover, you will have many holes to repair and fill in. Mindfully remove the screws that are holding the hinge to the frame of the cabinet.

If the flip don’t work, you have to deal with the holes on the other side of the door. For these you will want to look at the store. Nowadays, many come in the same wood color as the wood you might have in the cabinets. If you match it properly, you might not have any staining or require painting of the repaired area. After applying the putty according to the directions, decide if you have to do something more than that to get the job done.
