overlay self-closing hinges

[jaspr]

Does anyone know where I can source 1/2" overlay self-closing hinges in Australia? Plenty of sources in the US, but I'd like to get them quicker. They must be available somewhere, but am having no luck with web searches. Bunnings and most others seem only to stock the euro style hinge and I'm after the screw on ones - like in the picture below.

I've committed the woodworkers' sin of getting half way through a project and then searching for the hardware.

Thanks arms - looks like a German company. They seem to have mainly the euro style hinge - also called cup hinges.

I'm looking for hinges to apply to a cabinet with a face frame, rather than to a carcass construction.

They are all over the place in the US, but obviously not popular here. I think they look good. There's also the cost factor. The euro style hinges cost A$8-9 each at Bunnings - the semi-concealed face frame hinges cost US$1.66 a pair - plus postage and patience. I need 10 pairs!

I may just have to order them online and wait for them to arrive .
Another excuse to delay this project!

Are you after face frame hinges? If so, Blum in Sydney will be able to help you.

You may wish to give Duratech a call at fyshwick. They supplied some Blum hinges at a reasonable price recently when I ordered some doors. Much cheaper than hettich I purchased at magnetmart. I do not know if they will sell them separately.

Thanks very much Renomart and DBACT.

They aren't exactly like I was after, but may be the closest. I'll compare prices.

Ta,

Also give Lincoln Sentry 51 lorn st queanbeyan a try

Thanks very much DBACt - I'll do that.

I think my trouble is, I'm after semi-concealed hinges, not the fully concealed 'euro' style cabinet hinges.
They look really neat and are heaps cheaper, but can't find them anywhere.
