Soft Close Hinge 1/2" Cabinet Door Hardware Compact Overlay Hinges for Frameless Face Frame Nickel Plated - 10 Pack

I wanted to replace all my old kitchen cabinet hinges to match a couple newer cabinets that have wonderful soft-close hinges. I hesitated buying these for fear they wouldn't quite fit the older cabinets right or would cause some other issue that would take me hours or days to resolve. After figuring out what the seller meant by "the thickness of the cabinet panel," I gave it a shot. They mean measure the distance the door panel overlaps the cabinet face. On YouTube, search for "How to Measure Your Cabinet Door Overlay." My door panels overlapped the cabinet 1-1/4" and these hinges swapped perfectly with the old ones. As others have commented, the hinge pocket is 1-3/8" (35mm). The screw holes were close to my old ones, but about 2mm off. So I carefully drilled new holes. DON'T try to force screws in at bad angles. When I did this on the first couple hinges, it caused them to twist at subtle angles and the doors wouldn't even close smoothly. Once I redrilled holes, everything went smoothly and I was done 12 cabinet doors in about an hour. Yes, the included screws were cheap, but I reused my old ones except the few that stripped out (the originals were cheap/soft metal, too).

Delivery was on time.As a semi-professional woodworker/cabinet maker,I must say this hinge is your best choice. I replaced five sets of Amerock hinges with these amazing slow self-close and quiet close hinges,it is great upgrade to my kitchen.The package includes screws,making it easy to install/adjust.Don't waste your money with other hinges.The overlay hinges are a good quality and price. I would buy again.

GREAT HINGES. Especially for the money. These are plenty good for the DYIer that wants pro results. I used a Kreg jig for boring the holes (35mm) and the template on the jig was perfect for the mounting screw holes. The holes in the jig for the screws are smaller than the 3/32" pilot holes recommended for the screws provided with the hinges so I just redrilled after removing the jig. Not sure why people have complained about the screws. I used a Craftsman #2 Phillip's screwdriver and cranked the screws down tight. No problems. My doors were Alder by the way. The soft close feature is really nice too. I used 2 soft close hinges on each door (30"X27") with great results. It was really nice having multiple "Overlay" options too as I had already made the cabinet and doors and needed to make the spacing right. (3 doors side by side.) These are the same hinges found in cabinets sold by "Cabinets To Go" retailers. (Wish they would sell extra doors without the whole cabinet.) Anyway, these make a rookie look good. Happy wife, happy life!

I am updating my original review.I Purchased these hinges in Jan. 2018 when we remodeled our kitchen. Had to replace some of the original hindges that came with the cabinets because one of the workers threw them away. 🙄ALL OF THESE HINGES HAVE FAILED and need to be replaced. Also, the heading states they are 1 1/2" overlay, but what I received was 1 3/8" overlay hinges. With all the hoopla of the lost hinges and dealing with problems with the contractor I didn't notice they were wrong until they all began to fail. The hinges that came with the cabinets (DTC hinges) are working fine...as expected! Many of the hinges didn't even last 6 months!GARBAGE, don't waste your money.I wouldn't give any star if I could.

Worked as expected. These are well priced soft closing hinges. Adequate adjustment range. They're easily installed requiring minimal carpentry skills. The biggest facet is the fact that they are indeed soft closing. Yep, there aren't any loud bangs when cabinet doors with these hinges are closed.

really wish john krazinski would've had a few of these in "a quiet place." they seriously work

They work well. Replace the old ones easily, but with a slight modification. Had to insert a 3/8 wood spacer on the frame of the cabinet to have the door rest in the same place position it had before. Need to do that to keep the edges of the cabinet meeting up with the edges of the drawers.

I would give these hinges 5 stars if it weren't for the screws that came with them. I'm pretty sure they are plastic coated in metal. I twisted the heads off of a few with a manual screwdriver. So then you have a piece of screw hung in your cabinet door where you need to put another screw. Ended up going to the hardware store and getting some real screws. The hinges themselves work great!
