Use wooden gasket blocks to hold the door in place

• Open the door until the entire hinge is exposed, then tuck the pad block under the doorway to hold the door in place. You do not have to remove the door when replacing the Hidden Door Hinges. Placing pads underneath will help support the door panel and prevent it from falling.

Measuring the door

• Make sure that the new hinges are the same size and edge shape as the previous ones. In addition, measure with a tape measure to confirm that the Hidden Door Hinges are currently installed in the correct position. The top Hidden Door Hinges should be 18 cm from the top of the door frame, while the bottom one should be 28 cm from the bottom of the door frame. If the distances are not correct, you will have to re-dig the grooves as in the previous method and be prepared to install the new hinges on the door frame.

Remove one of the old hinges

• Remove the top hidden door hinge first and unscrew the screws holding the hinge leaves in place. Carefully remove them from the door and the door frame. Check to make sure that the wood under the Hidden Door Hinges is in good condition. You may have to fill the previously drilled screw holes with small wooden wedges, especially the ones that have slipped the threads.

Be prepared to replace

• If the old Hidden Door Hinges have been in place for some time, you may have to do a little repair work on the frame and door. If necessary, you can sand the wood and apply a new coat of paint or stain to match the color of the existing wood.

• If the replacement Hidden Door Hinges are a different size from the original, fill the mortise and tenon holes in the door and frame with woodwork putty. Use a metal scraper to fill the screw holes or use a small wooden wedge to tuck them in. Allow the putty enough time to dry, sand it smooth, and blend it into the flat surface.

Installing the new hinges

• Place the new hinges in the same position as the original Hidden Door Hinges. Use a drill or screwdriver and matching screws to fix both sides of the hinges to the door frame and door. Insert the hinge pins and secure the new Hidden Door Hinges in place.

Check the new hinges

• Take away the pads tucked under the door and try opening and closing the door a few times. If the door opens properly without any problems, the hinges have been replaced.
