Need some advice with using barrel hinges

[Robert Mayer]

Im wanting to use these on a current project. Theres going to be 4 doors all sized at 9" x 15". They are 1.5" wide wood all around with 1/4 ply in the center so they really arent going to be too heavy. The doors are going to probably be opened once or twice a day during its life.

Anyone ever use these before? I was wondering if I should use 2 or 3 per door and whether they would hold up ok?

Here's a page on the Soss site which tells you how many hinges per door to use. http://www.soss.com/pdf/SossCatalog2006.pdf#page=14 The short answer is that two of almost any Soss model should do just fine.

It is a big pdf catalog, so you'd better be on wideband. There's also lots of info on that site about mounting dimensions and the like.

That looks pretty good. I think they should work. I might pick up a pair this afternoon and test em out.
