    Default Kitchen cupboard hinges.

    Does anyone know where I can get some quality 270 deg kitchen cupboard hinges on or near Sydneys Nth Beaches. I only need 2 and dont feel like driving out to Wetherill Park etc as I have already been on holidays.
    Cheers

    Bunnings on Forestway & MonaVale Rd will probably have Blum kitchen cupboard hinges - my local one does.
    Ours is not to reason why.....only to point and giggle.

    No I didn't know they stocked anything of quality either......I managed a pretty large double take myself.

    As for the angle.....if you ask they'll say "we never knew such a thing existed, thankyou for letting us know. I don't suppose you can tell us what the product code is?"

    You could always use two pairs of standard hinges on a strip with magnetic catches. I don't know if you'd be happy with the look though.
    Or full overlay hinges on a hinged strip.
    More hassle than 270degree hinges, but cheaper I'd imagine. There's quite some engineering involved in a 270 hinge.

    Mate you have totaly lost me.

    SBD I rang Blum Australia and they said yes some bunnies do stock them but not all stores...... Does not lead to confidence about range of the stock.

    Anyhow I realised today that I have quite a few 270's (new Blum's) that I bought for the crn cupboards and I am sure that I stuffed up and ordered two too many.....Problem solved..well I'll know in a few weeks when I get the extra doors I need.

    I got the glass splash backs today WAHOOoooooo. Pics to come .

    A pin hinge, or a wrap around would only cost a few bucks.

    Those mechanical jobs cost a small fortune, but of course they look better being fully concealed.

    H&G usually stock standard 170 cup'bd hinges. Both cheap and nasties, or quality ones.

    I've bought Blum 170 degree hinges at Bunnings. They have quite a good range. They even have a display with sample doors showing how the hinge works when installed.

    The Bunnings stores that don't have Blum are probably the ex-Hardwarehouse stores which are smaller than other Bunnings stores.

    Bunnings also stocks some other brand of similar hinges which are a bit cheaper but don't have the clip.

    through this forum we as people try to help out our somewhat naive or uninformed (should i say followers) probably not ! maybe the unknowing (but then again probably not) I will call them the "unknowing"
    i love them but only for their quest for knowledge ,
    rule 1
    .dont go to bunnings and ask advice from a pimply faced kid (male or female) about your project and expect a truly expert answer (surely logic should have kicked in right about then )
    rule 2
    ask for advice for someone older (i know that they (me included) would love to tell you how to go about your project for free.

    rule 3 make up your own mind about the advice you have been given and pick and choose which suits you as right !

    rule 4 never rag anyone for giving you advice because it is you that has taken or rejected the advice to use or reject
    kind regards

    The Bunnies close to me has been a bunnies since day 1 and they do NOT stock Blum hinges but only what is packaged as Howard Silvers.
    My advice is to go to Lincoln Sentry and speak nicley to the person at the counter, and you will end up getting the Blum h/w at trade price.

    Les that goes back to my original thread... I didn't want to go to the other side of town.
    Lincoln Sentry used to have a stoe at Brookvale but closed it when they moved to that new place out west - makes it very inconvenient.

    Is it just me or do others find the fact that it takes half an hour just to get served by their surley staff a real turnoff? This may be just a Sydney problem.
