I did a little surfing and was able to jog my memory as to the most critical dimension. The center of the 35mm cup hole should be 23mm from the edge of the door.

Door is hung and swinging!Thanks.Seth One final point is that with a partially inset door you will in most cases have to add the depth of the inset to the normal 36mm recess for the mounting plate (more on this below).

If you’re using your own doors, then it doesn’t really matter where the hinges are, as long as the hinge position on the cabinet are lined up with the holes in the door. Next, measure and mark with a pencil in 22mm from the edge of the door above and below each mark you have made and then join the marks together.
