May I add some info. My name is Birdie MiIller, I'm a cabinetmaker in N.J.. I invented the EuroButt II faux butt hinge. To be brief.... I have never used a fake anything, UNTIL I was faced with a function and design situation. The high tech functions of the European concealed hinge are remarkable, they are the best hinge to use for many reasons. BUT, they donot address the traditiional design element of traditional design. I invented the EBII so the designers could have the design element of the clasic butt hinge while retaining the adjustability and soft and self close features that are an advantage to the cabinetmaker and the customer. Some people are purests and they will want to use the real butt hinge, I have no problem with that. If you have any questions you can contact me via email. I have a listing here at Houzz, search for Birdie Miller. Take care and enjoy.
