Doors ● When installing doors on a commercial job, 170 degree hinges are to be used ● All door hinges should use the longer Euro screws (10mm), rather than the shorter Euro screws (6mm). When installing hinges back-to-back, then the through-sleeve/screw solution should be used. Field drilling hinge pockets You should have a field jig for hinge pockets and a 35mm forstner bit on your van. Set the depth using the screws on the side of the jig, clamp it to your door in the correct location, and be very careful not to drill through the front side of the door (especially when drilling Raised Panel doors!)
Steps:
1. Clamp jig to edge of door 2. Use jig to start the holes. Stop as soon as the holes have been started 3. Remove the jig 4. Install collar on 35mm bit and set the depth per the picture below. 1. You can use tape to set a similar depth on your 5/16 bit, used to drill the outrigger holes. 5. Finish drilling the holes.
The collar around the 35mm can be set to the following depth to ensure you don't drill through the front of the door. Note that to start the pilot hole, the collar must be removed because it will hit the jig.
