Door Hinges for Stand

[choss]

I'm looking for hinges that will allow me to mount the cabinet doors flush to the inset cutout - similar to this image posted by eschulist on his 3 foot long office tank build thread.

The hinges also allow for a quick release to take the doors off the hinges. Anyone out there have advice on where to get these type of hinges?

@choss - here's a link that I believe will greatly help you. Obviously you do not need to buy the hinges from Rockler, as they can get pretty expensive, but it will give you some good ideas.

Use rare earth magnets. No hinges to rust and the doors are completely off so they don't get in the way.

But, if you must, make sure you get stainless steel hinges.

If you google stainless steel inset euro hinges there are many available.

Funny I was just on the rockler site. I did find their guide to hinges very useful.

I have used magnets on other builds and while it does make it easier to pop doors on and off, i find the magnets I selected don't always hold so well. So I thought for this build I'd give hinges a try.

Have you tried the ones in my build?

They are N52 and are really strong. I had to go down to one magnet per door at the top because, with the French cleats at the bottom, they were too strong.

I will check out your build for sure. On what page do you show the magnets?

Got it. Did you recess the magnets into the wood? Do you recall where you purchased them?

Amazon.

Yes I used a forstner bit to counter sink them.

yes these would work for sure. I'm still debating this solution (which is way easier to do) v. the european hinges. I'm going to price that option out but feels like it will be costly and I'm not too excited to have to get the hinges aligned properly.

I received similar advice from Blum from a stand manufacturer so I will pursue that for sure. Thanks for chiming in!
