hinges - re-plate or replace?
Comments (6)I painted cabinets in my old kitchen and wanted the hinges brushed nickel. I removed all of them and spray painted them, including the tops of the screws. They turned out fine for my kitchen....See MorePainting Kitchen Cabinets and Door Hinges?
Comments (7)I switched all of my basement interior door hinges to satin nickel and the doors hang fine. I used one of those air shims. I also swapped them out one at a time vs. taking the whole door off. And I put dowels in the screw holes for reinforcement. Those doors are all the 6-panel hollow core, though. I’d be pretty skeptical to do it with solid doors and not expect something to look wonky. So if you have solid doors, especially if they’ve been there a long time, I’d ditch the idea. I’ll tell you this much: one thing you don’t want to do is mix up your doors!...See MoreNeed help with kitchen cabinet hinges and rehanging cabinet doors
Comments (24)Taking into consideration your comments and suggestion, I took a much closer look at all the hinges - new and old. Some of the Liberty hinges are not sitting as tight at the inset as the old hinges. The outside of the hinge that screws to the cabinet is also off slightly which is why a shadow of the old hinge is visable. Additionally, the entire hinge sits farther away from the doors than the older hinges. All of these variances are very slight, but when combined they make a hugh difference. Oddly enough, not all of the new hinges fit the same, hence being lucky with the first two I bought. Even though they must stamp out these hinges, they are not the same. The question still remains as to what I am going to do. I called Amerock and they said they would consider sending me samples to try. A representative from one of the local kitchen cabinet companies at the home show yesterday recommended a local hinge company. I am going to go there to see if they can identify the manufacturer of the old hinges and can offer up a better replacement. Internet searches have still not provided any identification of the old hinge manufacturer's logo. Please let me know if you can think of any other ideas or suggestions....See MoreDoes anyone know what type of kitchen cabinet hinge this is?
Comments (5)So after a lot of research and talking with quite a few cabinet shops. The consensus is that Amerock made a lot of different OEM hinges. This is one of those and there really isn't any stock to be found. The best replacement is the Youngsdale #3 hinge. I have the hinges in the photo and it fit perfectly. Hope this helps someone....See Morehomebodyoasis
