You
can use this hinge to replace just about any brand of current or
obsolete standard European hinge. When replacing existing hinges, its best to
replace both hinges and both mounting plates on the door. Mixing
different brands and types of European hinges can cause door binding
problems.
Door Reveal - the reveal
is the gap that is found (when the door is closed) between the edge of
the door and the cabinet side panel that the door is hinged to. The
reveal dimension is determined by the "bore distance". The bore distance
is the distance from the edge of the cup drilled in the back of the
door to the edge of the door. You can use any bore distance from 3 mm to 7 mm (1/8" to 5/16").
The center-to-center screw hole dimensions on the hinge cup are 45 mm (1-3/4").
If
your current hinge is 1-3/4" or the less common 1-7/8" you can install
this hinge without re-drilling the screw holes. For 1-7/8" screw hole
dimensions, the screw will go in at a slight angle but usually works
without a problem.
Each hinge uses 4 each #6 flat head screws.
