Hi Nickbee
Looking good, BUT you may have a hard time using the European type hinges, it will be touch and go ,the frame should 2 7/16" min. the norm...the pocket hole is 1 3/8" in dia. and they off the edge by 3/16 to 1/4" the norm and then you have the two screws holding them in place,,,that puts the edge of the hinge right at 1 5/8" in from the edge of the door,, then you have the slot to hold the panel in place,,it looks like a 7/16" deep slot,,,,like I said it will be close...the pocket holes should be fine it's the screws that hold them in place...right on the edge of the slot if not right into it...if you used a 1/2" deep slot..
Just a small note about the hinge types,,,note the place for the mounting screws,,,you will see in the picture I posted the screws are on the inside edge of the door frame ,this type will NOT let you round over or ? on the front side of the door frame without taking some of the pocket out but it can be done but it's trickey also ..but with a very small round over bit.
On the other type you must take care not to hit the mounting holes screws.
The norn,, the screws are very short so to say don't sub. in any screws,use the ones that come with hinges .
I have found out the ones that work the best for me are the ones you tap in the hole ( with metal screws and a plastic anchor) about 5/16" to 3/8" over all...
do they now have face frames on the cabinets ?, are you using 1/2" overlay ?
