  |
|
|
Hi, I have fitted an integrated washing machine in my kitchen and I'm trying to work out how to fit the door.
The washing machine has captive nuts to fit the hinge to, but I have no idea how to fit them to the door. The normal rebate is not there. The doors are dead flat.
I'm guessing I'll have to use a router. Are there special bits for this?
If anybody knows of a video tutorial, I'd really appreciate it. |

normally integrated appliance doors fit using special concealed hinges, which you need to drill the door for exactly as UHM describes above.
what you need to be careful of is that the holes need to be in the right place, as there is not usually much adjustment on the hinges.
your washing machine should have come with a template or instructions showing exactly where the hinge holes need to be drilled. |

I think they will fit in a router, if I remember rightly the shaft on both size cutters is the same size.

Use a cordless drill and blip the trigger. Punch a centre point which will help you align the cutter correctly. You will have more control with the cutter in a cordless and less chance of going through the door.
