Boring for European Hinges
To order doors bored for hinges check “Bore L (left) or Bore R (right) on your order form, next to each door that you want bored. Specify left or right bore as viewed from the front of the door. For bottom hinge bore write “bore bottom” in notes section of order form. Standard bore pattern includes center cup and dowels. For cup only (no dowel holes) specify “cup only” in notes. Standard lead time applies.
Standard placement is shown below. Call for information on special hinge bore placement.
Bore hole is 3-3/4” on center from top of the top rail edge and bottom of the bottom rail edge to the center of the bore hole.
Hinge boring is not available with OEABD outside edge.
THIS BORE PATTERN DOES NOT WORK FOR ALL HINGE TYPES. Check your hinge manufacturer for their required bore setting. TaylorCraft sells Blum® Clip Top 120° European Hinges (71T5580) and hinge plates (175L6630) which work with our boring pattern shown above. Screws are not included.
