Is there a "best" way to install mortised hinges?
I have seen two methods of installing mortised hinges:
1. The leaves of the hinges are mortised into both the door and the frame.
2. The mortise on the frame is deep enough for both leaves of the hinges and the leaf of one hinge is surface mounted on the door.
It would appear that mortising the hinges into both the door and the frame would be stronger, but a little more trouble.
Any incite from anyone?
Thanks for any advice.
