I needed to replace a pair of broken kitchen cabinet hinges and would prefer not to spend so much on known 'top quality', so I thought i'd give these un-branded, un-known Hinges a try! Oh, these are the cheapest ones I could find and they are a lot cheaper ...40% of the cost of the Blum Hinges (including delivery).
There's two potential problems;
Will they be compatible with the existing Blum hinges? and will they be good enough quality to last?
I hope you find this video helpful. The below are affiliate links. I get a small percentage when you buy using these links. It does not cost you anything extra, but helps supports the channel. Thanks!
When buying, make sure to choose the right style, either face frame or frameless (where the hinges are screwed to the cabinet).
These are Blum 'Corner cabinet hinges' to suit Face Frame cabinets (US style)
Part 1: Cabinet to door - [ Ссылка ]
Part 2: Bi-Fold door - [ Ссылка ]
or a set on eBay US; 'Blum' [ Ссылка ] for face frame
This frameless style is more common in UK and Australia;
'Blum' on eBay [ Ссылка ] or Amazon [ Ссылка ]
'Unbranded' eBay [ Ссылка ] or Amazon [ Ссылка ]
Adjusting screws? The screws that look like stars, like Phillips but different? they are Pozi-driv screws, don't strip the screws - you should really use a Pozi-drive screwdriver like one of these [ Ссылка ] Or an interchangeable screwdriver bit set [ Ссылка ]
