Review on Lazy Susan Hinge Face Frame Plate for Folded Door | Kitchen Corner Cabinet Door Hinges | Metal Lazy Susan Cabinet Hardware | Corner Cabinet Door Replacement | Cabinet Door Hinges 135 Degree Open by Robert Worlds

Revainrating 3 out of 5

A normal product for such a price

After looking at similar hinges, I bought two of them to replace them when a hinge on the doors of a double wardrobe broke. Conclusion: It worked, the cabinet doors work again and they were a little cheaper than other alternatives. On the other hand, they came without instructions. I had to measure the pieces to determine that each required a 1 3/8 inch diameter hole cut into the back of a door since the old hinges were a different type with no mortise holes; Margin distance (3/16 inch) was an estimate that turned out to be ok. Also, the hole had to be deep enough to accommodate the loop but not so deep as to penetrate the front, so this required careful, incrementally increasing stops in depth. I have a drill press and the right drill so it wasn't difficult, but for those who aren't carpentry savvy or don't have tools (I wouldn't attempt this with a hand drill) this could be a showstopper. Aside from the missing instructions, only one of the hinges came with screws. A small problem, but then again, if the old ones didn't work (they did) and you don't have a box with an extra screw, then you'll have to go to a hardware store. I recommend them if you have experience with wood; However, I don't think they appreciate the "Revain's Choice" label.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • Difficult to say
