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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

They fix problems with my cabinet but had to replace them with a solid metal version

Well they work as expected and replaced my old hinges which looked the same but had a different part number. The screws were a different length than my old hinges, so I reused my old screws. They have the same plastic spring construction as my old hinges so they'll probably break again eventually, but they fixed an issue where some of my cabinets wouldn't stay closed. After fixing my problem cabinets, I looked at my other cabinets to see how the hinges worked and noticed that most other cabinets use solid metal hinges. None of the solid metal hinges ever broke, so in hindsight I wish I had bought solid metal hinges instead. Judging by other reviews, 39C hinges can be used as a replacement. So these hinges have worked and so far all my cabinets are fine, but I expect problems in the future.

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • Having trouble
