Installing a Richelieu RCS Series European Style Hinge involves a few straightforward steps. First, determine the desired hinge placement on your door. Using a 1-3/8" (35 mm) drill bit, create a hole that is 7/16" (11 mm) to 1/2" (13 mm) deep. Position this hole 1/8" to 1/4" from the door's edge and approximately 1/5 of the door's height. Insert the hinge cup into the drilled hole, ensuring a snug fit. Secure the hinge cup using the provided screws, tightening them firmly. Next, install the mounting plates; each hinge comes with two. Position these plates on the cabinet frame where the door will attach. Fasten the mounting plates to the cabinet frame using the provided screws, making sure they are securely tightened. After installing the mounting plates, attach the hinge arms to them; they should easily snap into place. Finally, attach the hinge cup cover and hinge arm cover to give a clean, finished appearance.
