I don't know how they are sold there, but here (read Europe) they normally have a mask (paper) that you can use for making all the holes. It's really no big deal if you use that mask. |

I installed Euro hinges on mine without a template and it was easy. Once installed you can adjust them about 1/8" in on any axis (i.e. in/out up/down left/right). Depending on how your door mounts, you may need them to be flush. WHen the door shuts, does it cover the side panel (i.e. cabinte style) or does the door shut inside the side panels like a standard door in a doorjamb? |

For some reason, I can't post a pic so here's a link to the hinges that I used (flush mount). http://www.lowes.com/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=67156-214-P5115-14 |

What about using a couple backdoor locks (one on each side)? |

for those european hinge... there are a couple of types that you DON'T need to route a hole !!!! but its a little more expensive... but lowes, HD and rockler have it... use those hinge on 1 side and a couple of strong magnet catch and you're all set.... (ps: I routed a push button hole as the pull....) but I guess if you use those cabinet catch where you can push and it'll bounce out... you shouldn't need any catches at all... I'll try to post some pics in a few days if you want.... (a contractor is currently fixing my basement floor... very BIG mess right now....) |
