The installer may have been refering to the brand they used on your cupboards not having what you need. There are thousands of cabinet hinge variations on the market. If it were me, I'd press the issue with them. The customer is "supposed" to always be right in business. Sandy, it really depends upon the hinge brand your cabinet company is using.

Now the doors fly all the back and hit the closet door or wall. they used to Not do this with the old doors and hinges. They would stay open at a certain range. Are there hinges that would work this way? Our installer says no, but we never had this trouble for 14 years. Just had new cabinet doors installed in our bathroom.

If the door hinge is out of adjustment and it is causing the door to bind against the cabinet, this could create the same type of problem. By what you have described I would either adjust the hinge or get different ones. It is not uncommon for cabinets to be installed out of plumb. Especially if the entire wall is running out of plumb. This often depends upon the seriousness of the situation when the cabinet installer is hanging the boxes. If the door used to stay open then it is either a hinge problem or it could be that that door is binding. I just thought of another possibility. If the door is warped then it could be binding as well. I hope this helps! If your talking about European hinges, I would find replacement hinges.

Latch Sat, 28 Mar 2009 12:55:38 +0000 http://fixmycabinet.com/?p=305#comment-28 the door of one cabinet in our kitchen now closes on it's own. The house (and cabinets) are 10 years old (we're the original owners). I put a level against the cabinet and see that the bottom needs to be pulled out to make the face of the cabinet plumb. I'm guessing if I did that, the door would stop closing on it's own - but then I'm left with a gap between the wall and bottom cabinet. Are there replacement hinges I can install that would hold the door open? the door of one cabinet in our kitchen now closes on it’s own.

I guess the wording is a bit confusing I'll change it to say "hinge exchange on the cabinet door."

Does that mean I'll have to remove the broken hinges, bring them to the blum representative, and then replace them with the new ones?
