I have to replace several failed kitchen cabinet hinges. They are European style hinges – I think. Hidden where the door portion is a circle type of apparatus imbedded into the door itself.
Manufacturer: Blum
Markings: 110 on one side and 1 1/4 on another.
A little black piece of plastic has broken in each hinge and consequently the doors will not stay shut.
Where do I find such an animal. They are probably @ 10 years old.
Thanks, Mike

Any large woodworking store carries those hinges, Woodworker's Warehouse (or whatever it's called), Rockler's... just Google Blum. I gather they are 110 degree, other than that you oughta be able to use virtually any 35mm cup style hinge they make.

Pretty much any of the big box outlets carry those. However if you want service go to your local lumberyard or custom kitchen outfit.

The 1 1/4 is the offset amount the door overhangs the face frame. Make sure you get the same.
Thanks - I will avoid HD and go to a local carry-all hardware store. I did take your suggestion and look on-line. Now that I see the options this is not going to be difficult.Thanks again, Mike
I would recommend a local cabinet shop.

This site is a great resource for identifying the correct hinge:

That is nothing but neat. I will tell you the answer - I completed the Q&A portion and now I await my hinge before I become unhinged or something like that.Thanks!
