Don't forget to get those Blum hinges with nylon angle clamps

Excellent hinge replacement. Easily replace old hinges on any door in less than 10 minutes. Purchase clips along with the hinges to limit the angle. Save time by removing the Blum hinges and attaching the angle clamps.

Pros
  • Top marks for reliability and durability from testers
Cons
  • Appearance

Makes cabinets quieter

I wish I could look back on those years. I bought 10 packs to make some of my kitchen cabinets as a test run. I only needed 1 hinge per door for them to work so I could make the most of the kitchen. Then, within a week, I was in one of the bathrooms and the vanity door slammed shut. It's time to order a second batch of 10 pieces. Funny that the 1st order didn't come with any screws, but the 2nd order did.

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • I'll add later

Best quality in hardware

Easy to install. They're just not the best quality. From the fully open position I can "slam" the door to close it and it closes about halfway and stays in that position without fully closing. Sometimes I do the same action and the door actually slams instead of slowly closing. I'm not very happy with the intermittent work of these loops. However, my husband spent a lot of time and effort installing them in our kitchen so it would be unfair to try to replace them now. Do yourself a favor and…

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • So far so good

Good Value Hinges

Recently I was asked to assemble a set of bathroom cabinets for a friend and I chose these hinges for two pairs of cabinet doors. I used to use Blum hinges and although I only needed 8, the price for this pack of 10 was very attractive. The soft-close feature is adjustable, making them suitable for both heavy and light cabinet doors. For those unfamiliar with European-style hinges, they are installed in a "cup" that must be drilled into the door with a Forstner bit a precise distance from the…

Pros
  • Handy Part
Cons
  • Great Price

Should have done this a long time ago

These hinges are the perfect solution to the slamming cupboard doors in my kitchen. Existing self-closing hinges break after a few years. Since we've lived in the house for over 10 years, I've probably replaced them all in time or sooner. Our house is open and noisy. Every time the closet was closed, it could be heard throughout the house. I should have replaced the self-closing hinges with these soft-closing hinges from the start. They're also almost half the price of self-closing replacement…

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Functionality
