Review on πŸ”© Blum 33.3600 Compact 33 Face Frame Hinge: 110 Degree Opening, Zinc Die-Cast (Pack of 10) by Ryan Person

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect replacement for a 20 year old version of the same hinge

I have a kitchen full of cabinets that was built in 1996. I renovated the cabinets in 2016 and they look great except for one small issue. First the hinges failed. I opened the closet and heard a loud bang, and a small piece of plastic flew off one (sometimes both) hinges. And ever since then, the closet door would slam nasty every time I opened or close it and wouldn't close as smoothly as before. On my kitchen, the Blum 33.3600 turned out to be identical to the original hinges (except the plastic is new). and not so fragile). I was thrilled to have found the perfect replacement - which meant I didn't have to drill or putty anything; I simply unscrewed the old hinge, pulled it out of the cabinet, put the exact same new hinge in the socket and screwed it in. Now my cabinets last another 20 years.

Pros
  • Impressive
