Face Frame vs Overlay Hinge for Cabinets

We recently had a client ask us
if it was possible to migrate to the
hidden euro hinge from a current
face frame bar hinge on a 1- 5/8"
face frame on her cabinets.

The answer is YES and we do this
with a custom face frame

retrofit hinge from a leading
cabinet hardware manufacturer.

The face frame reveal was a common

cabinet building method used by

many 70's and 80's cabinet companies

because the hidden pocket hinges had

not been invented as of yet - leading

to some frustration for those who

want to hide the hinge hardware and

get away from using bar and pin

hinges.
