Step 1: Remove the old hinges.
Use a screwdriver to remove the screws that hold the old hinges in place. Be careful not to damage the door or the jamb.
Step 2: Measure the door.
Measure the height of the door and the thickness of the door frame. This will help you determine the correct size of cantilever hinges to purchase.
Step 3: Install the new hinges.
Position the new hinges on the door frame and mark the location of the screw holes. Drill pilot holes for the screws. Then, insert the screws and tighten them until the hinges are secure.
Step 4: Adjust the hinges.
Once the hinges are installed, you can adjust them to ensure the door is properly aligned. Use a screwdriver to turn the adjustment screws until the door is level and closes smoothly.
Tips:
* When installing the new hinges, be sure to use screws that are the same size as the ones that were removed.
* If the door is particularly heavy, you may need to use additional support brackets.
* Cantilever hinges are available in a variety of finishes to match your door.
By following these steps, you can install cantilever hinges on your 30-year-old Cardale door and enjoy a smooth and easy-to-operate door for years to come.
