Hinges for Rehanging Kitchen Cabinet Doors

Posted by Tube Audio on March 23, 2009, 8:58 am

Hello

I am repainting my kitchen cabinets. The cabinets are solid wood. They are
original cabinets for 1955 ( when the house was built)

I took all the doors off the cabinets along with the hinges.

I need to purchase new hinges. Should I go with the traditional old style
hinges that are not adjustable? Or should I purchase the hidden adjustable
types? Do they make retrofit hinges that will work in my application?

The Cabinet boxes are 3/4" thick.

Thanks

The hinges you are talking about normally require a good size hole to
be drilled with a Forstner bit but there may be other options
available.

Post in rec.woodworking, somebody there might know of a source for
adjustable hinges that don't need a mortise.

Hinge adjustability is pretty much required on frameless (aka Euro
35mm) cabinets, but your cabinets have face frames. If you take a
reasonable amount of care installing the new hinges you really don't
need any adjustability at all.
