I need to install hinges on a couple shaker style cabinet doors. The cabinet is framed out of 2x4's, with the 2x4's face out. The dimensions are 36" across and 30" high. (they'll be 2 doors) The shaker style door frames are made out of 1x4's with the exact measurements of the cabinet (18" x 30"). So the stiles are 30" long and the rails are 11" long. What are my choice of hinges? If at all possible, I'd like them to be concealed or hidden.
I've attached a picture of the cabinet with a rough drawing of where the doors would go. The red 'X' is the approximate location of where I would like to put hinges.
They are very finicky so you would need to follow their directions very carefully... there is no adjustment on them, so you have one shot at it. You'd be wise to watch some videos on how they are installed. One problem you may have is that you need some space between the cabinet door and the framing. If they fit together too tightly, the doors will "creak" and rub when you operate them.
Honestly you'd be better off if you made some nice face frames out of poplar 1x2, that you could apply onto the front of those crude cabinet boxes. Then, rather than doing full overlay, just do a partial overlay and use some self closing hinges that screw onto the face frames. (Much easier for you to line up and install). Your cabinet doors would then need to be about 1 1/2" smaller than the overall cabinet box and face frame is. So you'd have about 3/4" of reveal all the way around the outside of the double doors... and a 1/8" gap between them. You need to have some reveal around the doors, especially at the floor. 30" doors on a 30" tall cabinet are going to drag on the floor.

Sorry for the bombardment of pictures/questions, but I figured it's best to get it all in one post.
Picture 1: We pulled out carpet in this area for new flooring. Obviously you can see the gap left below the casing and jamb. What's the best way to go about this? I'd replace the casing and jamb but then I'd need to match stain, etc. If this is the best option, I'll do it but I'd rather not.
Picture 2: Opposite side of picture 1. The basement will have all white trim/casing. So, stain on one side and painted on the other. The doors are all white. Is it best just to tape off a line so no stain is seen when door is closed? Although the door will more often than not will be left open which will leave a funny line at the edge of the jamb.
Picture 3: The half wall will be capped off with a 1x. I was planning on using quarter round, however the casing will already need to be ripped in that area. What's my best bet in this area? Just do the quarter round and rip the casing right up to the top of it?
Thanks mucho!
Does anyone know what these plastic drawer stops are called and if they are available for purchase online? They are used to stop a drawer from being pulled out. I haven’t had any luck finding them and not knowing what they are called isn’t helping.
