My Takeaway from This Job
The storage kit includes both sliding and hinged movement. Within the hinge comparison, the leaf shape, hole layout and finish are the useful choices: white Tulead, brass Keenkee or black Murtenze.
A hinge adds rotation; my photographed drawer used sliding movement.

A small cabinet butt hinge needs its two leaves aligned before the door holes are marked. Hold the panel at its finished gap, check the pivot line and open it through the intended arc. The Tulead listing gives a 51 by 34 mm footprint, which can be transferred to a simple paper pattern for checking against narrow timber edges. Include the screw positions and covering thickness in that pattern. This is useful for comparing a surface-mounted lid with a door that needs more clearance around its frame.
