...I'd go with Euro hinges, they make face-frame mounts that are super
easy to locate and adjust...biggest problem is drilling them out, but
there are lots of jigs that do a good job, or if you have a drill
press it's another no sweat situation. This way you get a very clean
look, adjustability is way easy, and you get to fill those ugly holes
and cover them with paint so you'll never have to look at them again!
