1/4 vs 5/8 Radius Corners - How do you know the radius of your hinge?
No Tape Measure? No Problem!
If you don’t have a tape measure handy.. and you have 35 cents, then you can easily figure out the radius of your hinge.
Simply take a quarter and a dime and line them up in the corners of your hinge. The quarter will fit inside a 5/8” radius corner, while the dime will fill the inside of a ¼” radius corner.
