Review on 🔩 Blum 33.3600x20S Compact Screw-on Hinge, 110 Degree Opening, Zinc Die-Cast (Pack of 20 with Screws), Nickel Finish by Matthew Outlaw

I got these when the old latches on kitchen cabinets broke. The original locks were installed in the 70's I believe. These new bars had to fit together exactly (a lot of research was done), but there was a problem. The smaller part of the latch that rotates outwards with a single screw (let's call this part A) is offset from the main part (part B) to stretch a little further than the original latches. This meant that when I installed them on cabinets that met in the middle (a cabinet with two doors that open outward and close inward and met in the middle) the doors would meet in the middle about 1 /4 inches overlapped. So they are not closed. They could be replaced by deadbolts on individual doors, as it didn't matter if those doors were "pulled forward" slightly, since there was nothing preventing those doors from closing properly since it was a single door. But for the 2 door cabinets I had to take the smaller "A" section of the new latch and remove it, then attach the "A" section from the OLD latch. So I now had the old A pieces attached to the new B pieces, which kept the cabinet doors in the same exact position so they could close in the middle. The actual locking mechanism that wore out on the old latches is in section B, so the new latches didn't work. These are still new latches, only the part that attaches to the door itself is the old latch. As such, I would recommend that you do not throw away the old fasteners until you are certain that the new ones are working properly.
