Replacement Mounting Plates for Concealed Hinges
Replacement Mounting Plates for Concealed Hinges
A replacement mounting plate is used when fitting a concealed hinge to an older cabinet where the existing holes cannot be reused. Its design allows new fixing points to be positioned towards the front of the cabinet side, close to the front edge.
For older cabinets and unusable screw holes
A replacement mounting plate is useful when the original plate has a different drilling pattern or when the existing holes are incorrectly positioned, worn or otherwise unusable. Fixing the plate further forward means that the old holes do not need to be reused.
Not suitable for inset cabinet doors
Because the replacement mounting plate is fixed towards the front of the cabinet side, it cannot be used with an inset door. It is intended for overlay doors where the construction and hinge position suit the plate’s fixing arrangement.
Choose the correct plate height
The replacement mounting plate is available in heights H=1 and H=4. The plate height affects the position of the hinge and therefore the door overlay. Depth is adjusted by cam, while height is adjusted using the elongated fixing holes.
Check the plate height, door position and compatibility with the selected hinge before ordering. A mounting plate is never included when purchasing a hinge and must be ordered separately.
