<p></p>
<p>My 5 cents - the concealed hinges will hold the load, but what really would influence the number of hinges per side is the height of your door as the main factor.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The guide is, at least as I've been taught, to use 1 hinge per every 20" of the door height, while the max width per door is 20". I recently built a shaker style door - 35" tall x 17" wide, and used 2 regular concealed hinges. Must note though that the weight of the door was considerably reduced by using 1/4" plywood as the inner panel, and 3/4" x 4" pine boards as rails and stiles.</p>

<p>Thanks Brad. That is exactly what I was hoping to hear. I wasn't sure if the concealed hinges would be strong enough to carry the weight. I was also wanting to get the Kreg concealed hinge jig and was looking for a good "reason". Lynn<br></br> <br></br> <cite>Brad Martin said:</cite></p>
