Blum B039C355B.20 1-1/4" Overlay Soft Close Cabinet Hinge (10 Pack), Nickel Plated Steel (Pack of 10)

Perfect replacement

As many buyers of this product on Amazon, I wanted to use these hinges to retrofit older Blums cabinet hinges that just slam your door. I hate them. For corner doors these new bluemotion is the only option. I was hoping these would be just swap replacement for my older ones - I was wrong. There are two issues I dealt with 1) the distance from cabinet surface to bc door these hinges have is SLIGhTLY bigger than of older Blums. In the absence of this problem, I could only replace ONE hinge on the door (2 or 3 hinges on each in my case), but in such case the door was uneven to the surface. Barely noticeable for an average person - but I am perfectionist and I can see this gap. It is about 1/8 of an inch. Solution - replace ALL hinges on each door (which is 2-3 times more expensive) 2) second problem is that the depth of these hinges is different - my older Blums are 10mm deep, my cabinets doors were drilled for 11mm, now these bluemotion hinges are 12mm deep. So, as you can see on one of my photos - it creates unpleasant “arch” between screws. My solution was to carefully drill 1-1/2” hole slightly deeper (by 2mm). This solution is not for everyone - you need proper tools and you are risking destroying your door by drilling it through. My door is only 15mm thick, so 12mm hole leaves only 3mm of material on the face. I was able to accomplish it, but was nervous. I had to paint bottom of the hole with marker and then remove thin layer one after another constantly measuring depth with caliper. So, my verdict - the hinges are perfect in themselves (hence my 5 star rating), but if you intent to retrofit - be ready to compromise on aesthetics, pay more or do extra woodworking. Aside from this - using bluemotion hinges is night and day compared to constantly slamming doors. Go for it, it is totally worth it.

Good product good price good delivery service.

These seemed like the were salvaged from the cast away bin of the assembly line. They were completely seized up

while I very much like the hinges and the soft close feature is pleasing to my customers, they do not come with screws either to mount the hinge to the door or to the cabinet. Seems to me they did and now they don't.
