What sort of hinge is this?

Question

Can someone tell me what sort of hinge this is? All the cabinet hinges I can find are 180deg+ when open, whereas this is only 90deg.

They are on a set of built-in wardrobes that were here when we moved into our house. Unfortunately, one of the doors had a dirty great mirror stuck on it which is slowly killing the hinges. That door currently has only three out of five hinges actually connected - the others have broken and need replacing before the door drops off on my wife's foot.

Looking for somewhere I can source these in the UK.

Answer 1

From what I can tell these appear to be hinges made by GRASS. A look at an online retailer seems to point to these hinges.

However the above appear to be obsolete and they recommend replacing with these hinges.

These appear to require two separate order parts.

Answer 2

This looks like the hinge in your photo: Grass hinge .It is labeled as a #830 or 831.

Answer 3

Just to add to what others have said in answers or comments:

Euro-style cabinet hinges install into a 33mm diameter hole recess in the door that the hinge sits in. This is a widely accepted standard these days, though far from the only variety of hinge in use. It's quick and easy for folks manufacturing many cabinets; less so for hobbyists. One of their other advantages is that these hinges can be adjusted to center the door on the opening without remounting them.

Be aware that different variants are needed depending on whether the door is insert into the opening fully, partially, or sits entirely on the front surface of the cabinet. Also, different models open to different maximum angles; 130 degrees may be most common in my limited experience. You probably want both hinges on a single door to be the same model, to avoid mismatches in how they want the door to move.

Note that multiple functions are available in this family, to handle cases where the door fully overlays the frame, partly overlays the frame, or is set into the opening. That usually can't be changed "in the field" except by replacing the whole hinge, so you want to look carefully at what your cabinet does now and pick hinges that will do the same thing.
