I have bought new doors to fit to the front of my kitchen however the hinges are in a different place :dunno:
This isnt a problem to fit to the doors but I probably need to be very accurate fitting the brackets to the carcase as it seems there is only a small adjustment on each one

Any advice to get them all in the same place?

Check inside the carcases there might be alternative fixing holes above and below the old hinge plates, there is on mine

Unfortunately this is not the case on mine so i have to drill new holes but there is only a small adjustment up and down on the carcase plate which is why im concerned

see if you can buy an off cut of hardboard to make up a template to help keep them all the same.

get yourself a bit off mdf/ply hardboard 2 mm smaller than the inside off a carcase height and 2" wider than the holes
a baton off 12x12to 15x15mm nailed to one edge off the board brill holes in correct points for the hinges along its length

alternatively as above but only from the inside top edge off the cupboard to the hinge center then double that then baton as above
you now have a jig for individual hinges by simply sliding to the top or bottom

As it happens it turned out to be an easier job than anticipated.

I had to remove 1 screw from bracket in carcase and loosen the other then turn it 180 degrees then re-drill and hey presto did this on both brackets,
probably got lucky but doors look great :huray:
