Review on ๐Ÿ”ง JQK Cabinet Hinges: Soft Closing 100 Degree Full Overlay Door Hinge for Frameless Cabinets - Stainless Steel Nickel Plated Finish (4 Pack, CH100-P4) by Michael Dixon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Cheaply made but profitable.

Not the best workmanship - plates and cups are stamped steel, edges are rough, usability is ambiguous. But they're cheap as dirt and they get the job done. I wouldn't use them for a client who pays a lot of money, but they're good for projects where you need to save money and aren't trying to impress. I have used them for shop cabinets and set cabinets and as I said they did the job. But without the verve that one would expect from good craftsmanship. Also, and importantly, the instructions that came with the hinges contain serious errors and omissions. The dimensions for the placement of the screws holding the hinge plate are far off. The first set of holes should be 1-1/8" horizontally behind the front edge of the case, the second set 1-5/8" behind the edge. The holes should be spaced 1-9/32" vertically. The instructions for installing the screws holding the hinge cup do not include dimensions, but they should be 1-3/32" horizontally from the door edge and 1-29/32". I placed a 1-3/8" diameter, 1/2" deep hole for the hinge cup on the back 7/8" horizontally from the edge of the door.

Pros
  • Ease of use
Cons
  • Vulgarity
