How to read a hardware catalogue

In short

1. 01The drilling table tells you where and how deep to drill. For a hinge, that is the diameter and depth of the cup, the cup distance and the mounting plate holes.
2. 02The overlay table tells you how much the door covers the side panel with a given cup distance and mounting plate. You get a different overlay with a different plate, not with a different hole.
3. 03Installation dimensions tell you how much space the hardware needs, e.g. the inside depth for a runner or the flap height for a lift. Check them before cutting.
4. 04The article code is the name of the hardware for ordering. It holds the variants (angle, crank, damping, length, height), so copy it exactly.
5. 05Catalogues change, so check the dimensions in the current catalogue before ordering.
