Review on πŸšͺ Pack of 20 JQK 3/8 Inch Inset Matte Black Cabinet Door Hinges - CH201-BK-P20 by Dan Hansen

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Hinges upon hinges make happy hinges, but hinge doesn't make happy hinges.

Perforated plate does not match the previous hinges, cannot be seen from the description. They are not as "deep" as the previous ones. You can get them to work, but you'll have to drill new holes to screw them to the door. They're a bit flimsy compared to the 1968 hinges that were removed from the door, but that's to be expected... I guess... Definitely you can get them working with a few extra steps, but you would it nice to see the dimensions of the important parts of the hinges. The value is definitely worth a little extra work. Menards and Lowe's have the same loops for $3 a pair. So saving $40 or more seems like a small price to pay when you have the ability to modify your doors to suit. Luckily the holes are far enough from the original holes that I didn't have to fill them in to drill new holes. Self-closing doesn't do anything, but mostly works. I'd say they do 72% of what I need, so it was worth taking the time to get them working.

Pros
  • Hands-free operation
Cons
  • Difficult to see
