Hi Brad, I had a new door made and the holes were drilled. I’m taking the hinges off the old door and reusing. I bought replacement dowels. What is the best way to get these dowels in? Thanks!
You could first try attaching the dowels to the hinges (you may need a pliers to hold the dowel while you screw in the screw) and then just pound the hinges in place like I did in the video. Option 2: You could try driving the dowels in individually then screw on the hinges. Note: be careful not to break the dowels when pounding them in, they used to make them out of a very durable nylon but are now quite fragile. If you have any more questions let me know. Thanks for watching!
Yes, this was for demo purposes. I had drilled some doors for the Blum inserta hinges but in the meantime my supplier ran out of the inserta style hinges and only had the doweled style. The inserta and the screw-on work just as well in MDF too. I mailed the dowels hinges to my niece and this video was for her to refer to since I wouldn’t be there to install them for her. I suppose I could make this video unlisted but something about it might be helpful to someone. Thanks for watching.
