Just when I though things were going so well too! The proper hinges arrived from DHE yesterday and this morning I went to fit them. Marked where to position them and drilled pilot holes as in instructions but when I screwed in one of the screws it cracked the mdf, aargh :'(. I phoned DHE again and was told to use a bigger drill bit but to fill the crack and clamp it together for 24 hours first.
I put a bigger drill bit onto my drill and drilled bigger pilot holes for the second hinge but it has cracked too so have had to glue that one as well >:(. Maybe I should have stuck to using the first lot of hinges instead as all the screw holes are on the side and not on the edge so it wouldn't have cracked the mdf. Bit worried now about using them on Magpies???
