For an interior door order in new construction I am specifying concealed hinges.
There are 13 hinged slabs (two are french) are up to 130 lbs on 5/4 jambs, framing is very solid. If I allow 3 hinge per slab that is 39 hinges so the price adds up.
I think I want adjustable but Soss tries to talk you out of it (says they are more expensive and less reliable and if your structure is sound you don’t need them) and Tectus and Sugatsone are far more expensive.
I found Deltana which makes an adjustable that is a lot less expensive then Tectus but I don’t know there quality, they don’t assign their hinges weight limits, and there is no documentation on how they adjust.
Anyone with good experience with adjustable hinges who can advise me?

Forget Soss.
Tectus are expensive and great.
Sugastune is about 1/2 the price of Tectus and very good.
So, you're asking for:
a. Hidden hinges.
To use on:
b. Doors weighing 150lbs.
And you want:
c. Low price.
Sorry, you can only have 2 of the 3. Any two.
