It seems the cup sections remain well fixed but the fixing plates on the inside of the cupboard sides just work loose. Is there an answer?

I love your site and your super helpful advice. Basically, the issue is how to solve the problem of the door swing? Are there any hinges that could solve this problem? I can send elevations if that helps. Thanks so much in advance! Such an awesome and informative writing!

I would like to use a hinge similar to the wrap around no mortise Amaroc s but am disappointed to learn the poor reviews ….
Perhaps they were better in the past! I would be most greatful if you could recommend a better quality hinge of that style. Yes, you can use a hinge meant for frameless on a faceframe cabinet. You just have to add add blocks to the side of your cabinet to push the hinge flush with the faceframe. Old hickory cabinets still look great, and the wife loves them, but hates the sound of them closing.
Want soft closing hinges, a nice project. What hinges do I need? Plan on doing this just as soon as the soft closing drawer slides are all installed.

If you were dealing with cabinet doors built in and you are repainting them and they are partial overlay, what hinges would you go with? I really want concealed, but it sounds as if that would be a headache with these doors?

Then, open the door and measure the distance from the edge of the tape to the opening of the cabinet. The resulting measurement is the measurement of your overlay.
Make sure your hinge is facing the right way too. A right-hand hinge will be designated as RH, while a left-hand hinge will be designated as LH. You can always take photos of your cabinets with you to the hardware store to have an employee help you find the right kind for your cabinet style. If you start noticing that your cabinets get squeaky or are starting to stick, then a simple lube might do the trick to get them working again.
If not, you may need to replace them. Fortunately, replacing cabinet hinges can be a simple DIY project, but only if you choose a similar type of hinge that has the same screw hole measurements as your old one.
Try to purchase new hinges from the same company as your old hinges. It will be easier to match the style and measurements so that you can avoid unnecessary holes in your cabinets. Remove your cabinet doors before removing the hinge completely to avoid harming your doors in the process.
