    Help me out please people.

    I’ve built a fitted workbench in the garage and want to put doors on the front and use it as storage.

    The doors (2 pairs) are going to be in the same 18mm MDF as the worktops, and each will be roughly 3′ by 2′. I want them to sit “on top of” the frame, rather than “in” it, if you see what I mean.

    Are a pair of 2in cranked flush hinges on each door going to be strong enough?

    Thank you, people.

    HTH 😆

    Just use some decent length screws when you put them on

    decent length screws

    Can’t be more than 15mm on the doors – they’re only 18mm thick.

    Does the bit with the 2 slotted holes screw to the end of the door (I.e the 18mm wide bit ?)
    ( never used the m myself but that was what I was assuming)
    Don’t forget to pilot drill screw holes in MDF or it may split
