Review on Blum 33.3600x4S 33.3600 Compact 33 Face Frame Hinge - Pack of 4, Zinc Die-Cast, Nickel Finish by Chris Peck

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect fit - with a quirk or two

This was an exact replacement for my old 1988 Blum #120 hinges. They work great! See picture: The screw holes had to be offset 7/16" from the originals, but that's not a problem. This is just a design update and I doubt the old type is gone. A word of caution: I decided to keep my old mounts (slightly thicker than the new ones) and used the new pan head screws that came with them to start with. But the cabinet wouldn't close all the way because the rounded head of the screw touched the panel! Pan head screws solved this problem (pictured), but replacing the mounting plate is probably the wisest decision.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • No instructions
