Hi guys, i used rocketengineer 2x4 frame model for my 90g build. I finished the frame but now i cant figure out how to mount my doors. The door is frameless ADA style but because the 2 jointed support legs are too wide for me to install the euro concealed hinges. Any idea or type of hinges i can used to mount my frameless doors? If you look in the pix the distant from the outside to the second support leg is too wide.

What about sliding doors, is there space to either side of the stand?

Were you planning on skinning the stand? What are your doors made of? It would make mounting doors much easier, as well as making the stand itself much stronger. If not, you can get euro style hinges with as much as 1 1/2" overlay. You could also use countersunk rare-earth magnets, or even a french cleat. There are many options, most of which could be made to work with the frame as it is.

More info needed!
Answer billdogg's questions :)
Do you have the doors already?
Are they going to be inset or overlay?
Do you have the hinges already?
Brand and model?

Pics of all the components would help.

Most euro hinges have many mounting options. All depends on type of cabinet (frame or frameless) and door style (overlay or inset).
