Choosing Your Cabinet Hinge

Are you trying to replace your old cabinet hinges and are finding it difficult choosing the correct one? Identifying hinges is a daunting task but we are here to help! 

There are 6 MAIN types of hinges. The next 4 pictures show 4 out of the 6. 

                               Variable Overlay                                                                             Inset

                                                                                         Wrap

The 2 that are not in the pictures are concealed (hidden) hinges and demountable hinges which have 1 or 2 mounting plates on them.


Even looking at these wonderful diagrams, it can still be very confusing..
