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

Revainrating 2 out of 5

They break down all the time and need to be replaced regularly.

They keep breaking and I have to keep replacing them. There is a piece of plastic on the swivel joint that keeps breaking off. This is clearly a design or material defect. They actually last a few years, but when I have 40 or so in my kitchen it seems like I always replace one or two of these, so I always have a spare on hand. They were installed in my kitchen and due to the design of the door I didn't have a great deal of alternatives so I keep buying and replacing a few at a time. If I were building new cabinets I would definitely not use these hinges.

Pros
  • The best in their niche
Cons
  • poorly thought out
