How to identify correct cupboard door hinge?

How to identify correct cupboard door hinge?

I have an old 1960s house with, what appears to be, original cupboards in the kitchen.

 

The hinges on a few of the cupboard doors have begun breaking apart and now need to be replaced.

 

The hinge is fixed externally on the frame, whilst the other side of the hinge is fixed 90 degrees, to the door.

 

The attached diagram may provide a better illustration of the context.

 

What hinges should I be using as replacements? I am not concerned about matching existing holes etc. - I just need something which works.

I could be wrong but they look like semi concealed or offset cabinet hinges. Possibly these ones https://www.bunnings.com.au/prestige-65mm-nickel-plated-semi-concealed-601-pattern-cabinet-hinge-2-p...

Re: Help with identifying correct cupboard door hinge

Hello @Khars 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your hinges.

 

The closest set I could find is the Prestige 65mm Nickel Plated Semi Concealed 601 Pattern Cabinet Hinge - 2 Pack and the Prestige 38mm Flush Self Closing Hinge. However, I suggest taking one of the old hinges off and comparing it to the ones at the store to make sure they are similar in size and function. By going to your local store, you'll see the full range and get a better idea of which one might suite your needs.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
