Hinge cup layout calculator

Calculate cup centre X and cup centre Y coordinates with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use cup centre X and cup centre Y coordinates to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Calculation method

Calculation method

Cup centre X (mm)

Left: edge-to-rim distance + radius. Right: door width minus that same distance.

Cup centre Y coordinates (mm)

The supplied centre heights, sorted from top to bottom.

Minimum cup-to-door edge clearance (mm)

Smallest clearance from any cup rim to the four door edges.

Cup count

Count supplied cup centres after validating overlap and boundaries.

Symbols and units
a
Door width (mm)
b
Door height (mm)
c
Cup diameter (mm)
d
Near edge to cup rim (mm)
e
Cup centre heights from top (mm)
f
Hinge edge: left or right

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Cup-centre coordinates from the top-left door corner using your selected hinge edge. Validates ideal circular cup fit and nonoverlap only. Door thickness, hardware compatibility, screw positions and manufacturer-approved hinge spacing are separate.
