Need help replacing face-frame cabinet hinges with hidden hinges

5 years ago

Help! What’s the easiest way to replace face-framing cabinet hinges with hidden hinges?

Is there a non-mortise option that has worked well for anyone??

Rockler has some retrofit concealed hinges but you have to bore a hole in the door like so many modern hinges.
