Setup and Installation
Proper installation is key to the performance of your Everbilt cabinet hinges. Follow these steps carefully.
Tools Required:
- Phillips Head Screwdriver
- Drill (optional, for pilot holes)
- Measuring Tape or Ruler
- Pencil
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Cabinet Door: If installing on a new door, use a 35mm Forstner bit to drill the hinge cup holes on the inside of the cabinet door. Ensure the holes are drilled to the correct depth and position for a 3/4 inch overlay.
- Attach Hinges to Door: Place the hinge cups into the drilled holes on the cabinet door. Secure the hinges to the door using the provided smaller screws. Ensure the hinges are flush and aligned.
- Position the Door on the Cabinet Frame: Hold the cabinet door in its closed position against the face frame of the cabinet. Align the door so that it has the desired overlay and gaps around the edges.
- Mark Mounting Holes: With the door held in place, use a pencil to mark the screw hole locations on the cabinet face frame through the hinge mounting plates.
- Secure Hinges to Cabinet: Remove the door. Drill small pilot holes at the marked locations on the cabinet face frame (optional, but recommended to prevent wood splitting). Re-position the door and secure the hinge mounting plates to the cabinet face frame using the provided larger screws.
- Adjust the Door: Most hinges allow for minor adjustments to achieve perfect door alignment.
- Side-to-Side Adjustment: Use the screw closest to the cabinet frame to move the door left or right.
- Depth Adjustment: Use the screw further from the cabinet frame to move the door in or out.
- Height Adjustment: Some hinges allow for vertical adjustment by loosening the mounting screws, adjusting the door, and re-tightening.

Operating the Soft-Close Feature
The Everbilt 35mm 110-Degree Hinge features an integrated soft-close mechanism. This mechanism automatically engages as the cabinet door approaches the closed position, gently pulling it shut without a slam. No external devices are needed for this function.

Maintenance
Everbilt cabinet hinges are designed for durability and require minimal maintenance.
- Cleaning: Wipe the hinges periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Lubrication: The soft-close mechanism is factory-lubricated and generally does not require additional lubrication. If the hinge action becomes stiff over time, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the pivot points, but avoid spraying directly into the soft-close mechanism.
- Tightening Screws: Periodically check all mounting screws and tighten them if they have become loose. Do not overtighten.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Door does not close fully or is misaligned. | Loose mounting screws; incorrect hinge adjustment. | Tighten all mounting screws. Adjust the hinge screws (side-to-side, depth, and height) as described in the "Setup and Installation" section until the door is properly aligned. |
| Soft-close feature is not working or is inconsistent. | Obstruction; hinge damage; excessive weight on door. | Check for any obstructions preventing the door from closing smoothly. Ensure the hinge is not damaged. If the door is excessively heavy, consider adding an additional hinge for support. |
| Hinge squeaks or feels stiff. | Lack of lubrication; dirt buildup. | Clean the hinge thoroughly. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the pivot points. |
