Installing no-mortise hinges

If you are working on a cabinet, set it on a level surface in the shop
(plywood), then shim up to the correct height with scrap 2x4's or
whatever. Open the door (still supported) & mark for screws.

Two side tape on the cabinet portion of the hinge. Position the door
drop it in place. Press to temporarily stick the hinge to the
cabinet. If satisfied, gently open the door, mark for screws.
If your not satisfied pull it off and try again.
