DecoBasics Kitchen Cabinet Frameless Hinges (Pack of 2), Soft Close Door Hinges, Metal Hinges For Kitchen Drawers, Cabinet Hardware, 3 Way Adjustability & Easy Installation

I needed several hinges for some shop cabinets and I couldn't justify the cost of my favorite name brand (starts with a "B") hinge. The only significant disadvantages I found were:1) There is no vertical adjustment for the doors, as you would find in more expensive hinges. This is not surprising for a hinge produced at this price point.2) Fit and finish, although excellent, is not at the same aesthetic level as the more expensive hinges. However, they are very well made and consistent in quality.3) Adjustments, particularly lateral adjustment on the doors, seem loose and will probably move over time. Some releasable thread locker (e.g. blue "Loctite") would be appreciated on these screws.3) No instructions!This last point sounds like a minor issue, but it isn't. Every European style hinge out there has a very specific optimum offset for the mounting holes on the cabinet side. Since no instructions are provided, this needs to be determined by trial and error with the front-to-back adjustment of the hinge set to its center point. Do not try to figure this out with your actual door - use a test piece! I found that the offset from the front of the cabinet to the two holes furthest back on the hinge plate should be 37 to 38 mm. Once you know this, it is easy to mark the vertical center of the slotted holes (with the hinges mounted on the door) on the inside of the cabinet. Set a combination square to mark the 38 mm depth, then the intersection of the slotted hole center marks with the 38 mm mark will indicate the drilling center.The hinge cups use a 1-3/8" Forstner bit. Positioning of the the cup hole is dependent on the exact amount of overlay required and the door thickness, so this needs to be determined for each use case. For 3/4" nominal plywood doors, a 22 mm offset is a good starting point to try with your test piece.I gave this product an overall five stars because it is hard to beat the quality and features provided at this price point; docked one point for easy to install due to lack of instructions, and one point on sturdiness for not providing thread locker on the lateral adjustment screws.The self closing mechanism appears to function well. However, for high-end installations (custom kitchens, bathrooms), in my opinion, these are not a replacement for the better name hinges available and the savings are not justifiable. The lack of instructions is inexcusable - an internet link would be perfectly acceptable, and would save on paper.

These worked perfectly for my IKEA Besta doors! Way cheaper than IKEA and the holes lined up exactly. Nice high quality and easy to adjust. Get your furniture position where you want it before you adjust - I spent a ton of time adjusting the doors to then level the feet and make the doors all go wonky again 😂

Great item

I would say I was looking for a budget friendly version of slow close hinges. These kind of fit the bill. I would say overall that they are fine but would like them to be a little "stronger". When closing them, although they do slow close, they don't quite close slowly enough. The other thing I'm not crazy about is that when opening a cabinet, they spring open and sometimes the door will hit another door. I am thinking of adding 2 to each cabinet and maybe that will make the difference. I do, however, like that they are and exact replacement size for the original hinges. I didn't need to make any adjustments in that way.

Good quarrity

These were awesome! Ordered a cabinet on another site and it shipped with no hinges. Realized this after a lengthy assembly process and discovered no hinges for 8 doors. Ordered these and the fit was perfect and allowed for proper adjustment.

not bad

Installed bathroom med cabinet works like a charm
