Drilling Cabinet Doors for Hinges

Allstyle offers a standardized drilling service for European style hinges. Drilling must be requested at the time of order. Indicate "Drill" next to each item that needs drilled. Doors with asymmetric rails, arches or cathedrals become handed and will require "RH-Right Hand" or "LH-Left Hand" designation. The handedness is described looking at the face of the door and describes the hinge point.

We recommend Blum CLIP top BLUMOTION hinges for their premium quality and advanced functionality. The integrated soft-close mechanism provides smooth, controlled closing, with adjustable tension and speed to accommodate various door weights. Blum’s INSERTA system enables fast, tool-free hinge installation using expanding dowels and a push-down lever—no screws needed. The mounting plate attaches easily with a screwdriver, ensuring a secure fit. To install the Blum 177H540E180 mounting plate, Blum recommends using a Pozi #2 screwdriver.
