My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Drill bit size for cabinet hinges

6 years ago

I'm drilling new holes on my cabinet doors. I have the 3/8" inset hinges (hickory hardware) but im not sure what size drill bit i should use. Same size? smaller? The picture of the screw is with the 3/16" drill bit. Should i go up to 11/16"?
