I've made a load of wardrobes, cabinets and associated doors in my house and pretty much always used flush hinges, until a year ago when I decided it was time I gave concealed (euro style) hinges a go.

Conclusion: euro style concealed hinges are vastly superior to flush hinges, as i) they are adjustable 2) give you a much stronger fixing into the wood 3) don't need magnets as they 4) have a soft close integrated into them.

What stops more of us DIY'ers installing concealed hinges is that there is a perception that they are really complicated to install. This is simply not true, if you follow some basic steps to identify a) what hinges and mounting plates you need, and b) how to mark out and drill the hinge cup recess in the door to accommodate the hinge. All you need to do is follow the steps in this video, and it will all become very simple    • How to Measure & Install Concealed Hinges ...  .
