Introducing the Makedo Spin-Hinge!
This versatile component enables additional motion for your cardboard creations. Swing, rotate, spin or brace. Let's see how it works!
Place the hinges

Step 1
Once you have cut out your door, locate where the Spin-Hinges will go. Some openings need just one Spin-Hinge - for a door like this to swing freely, we are using two Spin-Hinges.
Punch the holes

Step 2
With the Spin-Hinges in place, punch the holes on the half that will attach to the non-moving side.
Connect

Step 3
Using your Scru-Driver, connect the first half of each Spin-Hinge with two Makedo Scrus.
Tip: We recommend attaching the Spin-Hinges to the fixed (non-moving) surface first, as shown in the image here.
Locate and punch

Step 4
Locate where the opened hinges will go on your moving door panel, and use the Scru-Driver to punch holes for each Spin-Hinge.
Tip: If it's tricky to hold everything in place, you can ask a making buddy to lend a hand.
Attach the door

Step 5
Connect the swinging half of the Spin-Hinge to the door using 2x Scrus for each Spin-Hinge.
Open and close

Your hinged door is complete!
The Makedo Spin-Hinges will allow for doors of all sizes to open and close smoothly.
