Hello Everyone !
Having a nightmare at the mo with a coupe of doors on a home made tv cabinet. I've drilled my 35mm holes 5mm from the edge of the door and fitted that side no problem, but when it comes to getting the carcass side done I just can't seem to get it right. I figured I would just line up the door edges with the carcass with a 2mm washer as a spacer, open up the hinge fully and mark where it lies, but when I put it together, its all out ?
The carcass is definitely square in all planes and lay on it's back the doors line up perfect, but when it's back on it's legs, they both drop considerably ? any ideas ? it's all 18mm MDF, I'm thinking it's a weighy issue with the door ? but that's the only thing I can think of.
Any help appreciated before I put that 35mm bit in my forehead
