Blum Compact 33 Hinge (Screw on Type) for face Frame cabinets with Screws -2 Pack

Perfect replacement Easy install

I put up with a cabinet door that wouldn’t close all the way for far too long. I traveled to my local hardware stores and could not find anything close to my old hinges. I took measurements and made a note of the name and found these here. They’re Blum originals. They go into the cup space and pre drilled holes exactly! Cabinet door closes all the way now. No more clicking sounds. I’m very pleased.

One of the hinges in my 1990’s kitchen broke. I’ve had a couple hinge plates break but never the actual hinge. These have the exact same part # on the back as my old one.At some point in the last 30ish years they changed where the screw holes are & also the direction the hinge opens. The first photo is one of my original hinges, the second is the new one. As you can see the orientation is different. The cup part still fits exactly so after verifying which way the new hinge opened I drilled new screw holes & was all set.Product works, came well packaged and complete. Just wanted to point out the differences for anyone who has an older hinge setup like mine.

These hinges came originally installed in a cabinet that I had custom made about 30 yrs ago. This cabinet is in daily use so they do get a workout. This is testament to the quality/longevity of these hinges. However, the cabinet does have 2 doors and as I was installing these new hinges on the broken door, one of the hinges on the good door gave out. Sooo, I will be ordering another set for the other door today.

The product was the same as installed, works great and was easy to install.Will prchase again if necessaary . Very good price.

This hinge did not line up with the existing ones.
