Hi,
I've just had a unit fitted from B&Q and I used the 110 degree soft close hinge as below

My unit is next to a wall so could really do with stopping at 90 degree, but B&Q don't see 90 degree, is there any way I can stop them opening so far and bashing the wall?

Many Thanks

Steve

Put a stay on or just be careful when you open the door.
I'm pretty sure you get 90 degree hinges from B&Q tho.

The only 90 degree hinge I know is the lay on type concealed hinge see http://www.manddonline.co.uk/index.php? ... ts_id=3168
Fitting a pair of these would do what you want but it would leave the door hinge mortices exposed. You can buy push in plastic covers but this might be tricky to match up your door colour.

Thanks, I can't see anything on B&Q web page but I'll email them, but they don't try too hard to answer people

What do mean by a stay? And how to fit

Steve

Ironmongary direct do a 95deg one

Thanks, actually I just found some 90 degree ones on Amazon

I'll give them a try

That hinge looks more like 180 degree opening in the link picture?

DWD

te amazon ones you linked not designed to fit at 90degree closed so wont fit,
if you look at the data image it shows the fixing plate screwed on the back of the panel next to it

The Amazon ones are for FRAMED units:

I know absolutely nothing about hinges as such but I happen to be browsing for something else and came across this; http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Ironmon ... ung/p13965

I don't know if it is any good for what you want but I thought I would pass it on anyway

Good luck
Mike

That is what I advised earlier Mike

Oops, sorry!

I am the worst for not reading threads and jumping to a conclusion Mike
