I think it's a GREAT look

I am doing this with RocYork hinges on the room door Rixon pivot hinges on some of the closets.

Other than the appearance and cost, is there a functional difference between the Soss and RocYork invisible hinges? Anyone know?

I saw a few versions of RocYork invisible hinges but I really like this one because you don't even see the screws.

Here are some detail pictures:

The RocYork hinge looks like this but has snap on cover plates.

Very close up with a flash you see this on the closed side of the door, just barely visible "break" in the line around the door

And in general view. This is the typical "hinge" side of door.

Lee Valley, which is generally known for quality products, carries Soss.

I am puzzled by the $450 quote. Assuming three hinges per door, $230-$250 to hinge and hang them is pretty extreme unless this is the only job you're dragging out a finish carpenter to do.

This is what I was told: To add Soss hinges the hinge prep is $120.00 for three hinges and the Hinges themselves would be $36.00 each x 3 = $108.00 . A total add of $228.00 per door.

We have Soss hinges on a jib door, they work just fine. Our finish carpenter did not charge extra (but maybe there was enough cushion in his subcontract that he didn't think he needed to).

It's a lot harder to do this right than it is to hang a door on butt hinges or install a door prehung on jambs.

I am using the same carpenter that I used in my last place to hang doors with provided knock-down jambs but not prehung, to install EZYJamb frames with the hinge prep already done on the frame but not on the door itself.

It is taking him Much longer to do the invisible hinge doors than it did the others and he has done invisible hinges and pivot hinge doors and harmon hinge doors all before, so it's not just lack of experience.

That is higher than the upcharge to change from Standard to Soss on the EZYJamb, but I don't remember what the upcharge was.

I'm getting prehung doors so this is what the door manufacturer is charging to install the invisible hinges.

Fully understandable in that case!

The labour doing their doors would normally not be carpenters.

Soss has a great video describing the process and the special items needed to speed it along.

For a modern home design they are quite appropriate. Interestingly, Soss has been making invisible hinges since 1903.

Tectus and Sugatsune also offer these hinges. I went with Tectus on my doors. The doors are not even delivered yet so don't have an ETA on installation.

Cool pix pal! With the invisible hinges and no trim on that door, it looks very sleek and I'm sure excellent craftsmanship was needed. Is that door opening completely drywall all around? I'm trying to figure out the framing on it. Very nice look.

The door frame is steel. The jamb portion is solid, and the corner has a plaster/drywall bead on it, and the part that attaches to the wall is perforated metal. And, they recommend you also tape the joint where the perforated metal joint is over the drywall or plaster board. Then you plaster/spackle up to the bead on the front corner. (face of the wall) The framing underneath is what you would do for any door except you need to cut pockets (deep mortises) in the wood framing for the hidden hinges to fit into.

So far so good. The painters apprentice would Slam this door going in and out and it's a heavy solid core door, and no cracking.

Looks great Galore!!

I agree with homepro01! Those doors are beautiful.

Thanks!

The doors are from www.lancko.com.

This is a picture of the handles. I bought magnetic mortise locks that don't hit a strike plate but lock in place with a magnet. It was nerve wracking to cut this massive mortise DIY into the new doors.

Have a look at the CEAM Italian hinges; fully adjustable while the door is hanging and if the door moves or warps. They are such quality, and price is competitive
