2. To install new hinges, lay the door face down on a sturdy work surface. The top hinge should go one hinge-length down from the top of the door (or the top of the lipped section of the door, if there is a lip).

Use the drill to make pilot holes where you’ve made your marks, and then screw the hinges to the door. - Next: Hanging the Cabinets
