Hinge Templates
The templates provided are specifically designed to work with the doors we build, 24-36"W x 8.25"D. You can use the
templates as reference but final position will need to be modified to work with the door that you will build. Jamb thickness,
jamb clearance, bookcase width, and bookcase depth will effect final hinge position for proper function. We recommend
making a cardboard template, based on your finished bookcase, prior to installation. Doing so will allow you to make
necessary adjustments for the door to pivot correctly.

BILT Intelligent Instructions

It may be helpful to view our Flush Mount Unassembled Door Installation app. These user friendly,
3D, interactive installation instructions can be viewed on your tablet or phone. Scan the QR code to
download the app (available for most iOS and Android devices). While the app won’t give dimensions,
being able to enlarge, flip, and rotate the images so you can see angles of the door and hinges may
prove helpful to those building their own cabinet.
