Installing cabinet hinges correctly is critical when you’re attaching cabinet doors so they’re properly aligned and open smoothly. But with the right tools and accurate measurements, you can easily install your own cabinet hinges. Start by choosing what type of hinge you want to install. A concealed hinge will be hidden from view but will require you to bore a hole in the cabinet door. A traditional hinge will be visible, but is easier to install and can add a decorative accent to your cabinet. Once you’ve selected your hinges, you can start measuring and installing them!

Installing kitchen cabinets 01:00
Step 1
Use a stud finder to locate the wall studs
Measure and mark the wall
Measure the height of the base cabinets. Most standard cabinets are 34-1/2” high. Add 1-1/2” for a standard countertop and 18 inches for a standard backsplash, (though some designers now want a 20-inch backsplash to make room for small appliances). With an 18-inch backsplash, the total measurement should be 54 inches from the floor to the bottom of the upper cabinets. If your floor is not level, be sure to measure from the highest point along the wall.
Draw a horizontal line across the wall at this 54-inch point which will serve as a guide for hanging the cabinets. Be sure to use a level to assure this line is true horizontal.
Use a stud finder to locate the wall studs. The wall studs are crucial to properly support the weight of the cabinets. Note: pay careful attention to the position of all electrical wiring and plumbing.
Step 2
Ledger board is temporary support for top cabinets
Secure ledger board
Secure a ledger (support) board to the wall, screwing it into the marked studs to temporarily support the weight of the cabinets during the installation. Be sure the doors and hardware are removed from the cabinets to make them lighter and easier to install.
Step 3
Pre dill and secure the two cabinets together
Hang the wall cabinets
Attach as many cabinets together as you can safely lift and install on the ledger board -- usually two. Use clamps to fix the stiles (the vertical pieces on the face of the cabinet frames) of the cabinets together and check for plumb, making sure the fronts of the cabinets are flush.
Next, predrill and secure the two cabinets together at the stile with the screws (image 1). Affix one screw on the top and bottom in the front and back where the two cabinets meet.
Lift the cabinets onto the ledger board and check for plumb and level. Shim the cabinets if necessary.
Once you have shimmed for plumb and level, secure the cabinets into the wall at the studs. Be sure to predrill and affix the screws through the thicker framing piece along the top of the cabinets.
Check for plumb and level while you’re securing the cabinets. Repeat this process for all of the wall cabinets. If a gap exists between wall and the last cabinet, use a filler bar (supplied by the manufacturer) to enclose the gap. Before securing the last cabinet, measure, mark, cut and secure this piece to the side of the last cabinet.
After all the cabinets are in place, attach the doors and hardware. Remove the ledger board when you are finished installing the wall cabinets.

The cabinet committee on security, chaired by prime minister narendra modi, has cleared the purchase of 83 tejas mark-1A fighters by the indian air force.
A deal for 83 mark-1A variants of the fighter is likely to be signed with hindustan aeronautics limited next month during the aeroindia show in bengaluru.
The mark-1A variant, which is significantly different from tejas mark-1, will be equipped with an active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar.
Hindustan aeronautics limited has said that it will ramp up the production rate of the fighter to 24 per year to meet the IAF’s requirements.
The first mark-1A variant of tejas is likely to join the IAF in 2024.
An appeal.

How to keep your instant pot from ruining your cabinets
Your kitchen will thank you.
The steam that erupts from your beloved instant pot's pressure-release valve is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it means your super-simple meal is ready. On the other, it means that you likely just gave your wood cabinets a facial—and not the kind that makes you prettier.
The not-so delicious truth is that all those piping hot droplets of moisture can wreak havoc on wood and paint. As the kitchn points out, repeated steam exposure (we're talking weekly or nightly) to your kitchen cabinets can soften the paint and warp the wood, which is the last thing instant pot enthusiasts with small kitchens want to hear.
WATCH: dump it and forget it slow cooker recipes
The best thing you can do is to use your instant pot in an unobstructed space where it can spout its steam without the confines of your cabinetry. If one of these spaces isn't available, the kitchn recommends doing the pressure-release portion of your cooking beneath the vent hood of your stove. "your kitchen's hood vent is designed to suck up steam and heat, so turn it to full blast and let the steam release!" the site advises. Just be careful to never set your instant pot on your stovetop while the stove or oven is in use.
But whatever you do, do not use a towel or cloth to cover the valve while it's releasing. Not only can this damage your pot, but it can also create an unsafe vacuum effect, causing steam to be sucked back into the cooker.

“I remodeled my bathroom 27 years ago, new fixtures, tile work, floors, vanity etc. The only part of the room that I couldn't keep looking good was the tile to tub joint. I must have redone that joint with silicone a dozen times over the years and it never lasted long before it started to go bad. Then I discovered instatrim. It was easy to install and looks fantastic.”
-donald C. (via google mybusiness review)
“instatrim provided us with a perfect solution to cover gaps between glass and drywall at our newly constructed office. We searched for several solutions but most did not look good, or they were expensive. We found it doing a web search and we were impressed with the ease of installation and the clean, professional look it provided - it did as advertised.”
