    Hi all
    Recently built a large, larder style unit with a mate to house a newly installed boiler at his house

    Just made the doors, 18mm MDF which are now going to be sprayed gloss white
    The doors are fairly heavy and a size - 2 doors in total, approx. 1100x675mm and weigh 8.8kg each

    Have brought Hafel concealed hinges, was planning on three per door but am now wondering if we should fit four per door due to size and weight

    What do the pros reckon, many thanks

    Thanks chips for the link but do I have to now work it out for myself ?????

    Saturday early evening and feeling well lazy tbh

    Can you advise further, or maybe pop over and fit the hinges for me, thanks, I'm in Essex by the way :)

    1100mm = 43.3"

    So it recommends 3.
