If the CLOSED, HANGING door has the HINGES on the LEFT, the door is BORED "LEFT". "Bored" Left and "Hinged" Left mean the same thing.. HINGE SIDE DOESN'T MATTER ON SYMMETRICAL DOORS, BECAUSE THEY CAN BE FLIPPED TO HINGE RIGHT OR LEFT.


                   
THIS IS THE 900C HINGE (1/2" Overlay)
A 6 WAY ADJUSTABLE HINGE THAT IS USED ON CABINETS THAT HAVE 'FACE FRAMES'. IT WILL FORCE THE DOOR TO OVERLAY THE 'FACE FRAME' OF THE CABINET BY 1/2" ON THE HINGE SIDE. GENERALLY, THE DOOR SHOULD BE ORDERED 1" WIDER (AND HIGHER) THAN THE OPENING ON THE FACE FRAME. THIS WAY THE DOOR WILL OVERLAY THE FACE FRAME BY 1/2" ON THE HINGE SIDE AND 1/2" ON THE HANDLE SIDE, AS WELL AS THE TOP AND THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR.

If the CLOSED, HANGING door has the HINGES on the LEFT, the door is BORED "LEFT". "Bored" Left and "Hinged" Left mean the same thing.. HINGE SIDE DOESN'T MATTER ON SYMMETRICAL DOORS, BECAUSE THEY CAN BE FLIPPED TO HINGE RIGHT OR LEFT.



                   
THIS IS THE 900V HINGE (Variable Overlay)
THIS ADJUSTABLE HINGE IS USED ON CABINETS THAT HAVE 'FACE FRAMES'. IT IS MOUNTED ON THE FRONT OF THE FACE FRAME AND WILL FORCE THE DOOR TO OVERLAY THE 'FACE FRAME' OF THE CABINET BY AT LEASE 1 1/2" ON THE HINGE SIDE. (IF THE HINGE IS MOUNTED FURTHER AWAY FROM THE OPENING ITSELF, THE OVERLAY WILL BE EVEN MORE THAN 1 1/2"; HENCE THE TERM "VARIABLE" OVERLAY). THESE HINGES ARE FOR EXPERTS, BECAUSE GENERALLY, THE DOOR IS ORDERED ABOUT 1/2" LESS THAN THE OVERALL WIDTH OF THE CABINET, LEAVING VERY LITTLE ACTUAL CABINET FACE FRAME SHOWING. THE ACTUAL OPENING OF THE CABINET IS NOT EVEN MEASURED AT ALL, BUT THE DOORS ARE USUALLY END UP ABOUT 2 3/4" TO 3 1/4" BIGGER THAN THE OPENING OF THE CABINET.
 IF YOU ARE REPLACING DOORS THAT ALREADY USE THIS TYPE OF HINGE, YOU SHOULD ORDER THE DOORS THE EXACT SAME SIZE AS THE DOORS YOU ARE REPLACING.

IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THESE HINGES WORK, DO NOT ORDER THEM!! A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MEASURING WILL NEED TO BE DONE TO ASSURE THAT THE DOORS WILL FIT PROPERLY !!
