How to replace corner cabinet hinge?

[Sugar]

Hi guys, 

current situation in my kitchen corner cabinet at the moment., 

The hinges being used are as follows

I have been bunning few times, and brought few, and did not look like I got the right one. 

Can someone point me in right direction please. 

thanks.

Hi @Sugar,

The hinges that connect the two doors are called bi-fold hinges. These Hafele Salice 70° Bifold Corner Hinges should do the trick.

If you wanted to replace the hinges that attach the door to the cabinet itself, you would be looking at a full overlay hinge that opens past 90°. It looks like they open a fair bit past 90°, so I think you'd be looking at something like these Hafele Salice 165° Full Overlay Hinges.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

@JacobZ  thanks for all the tips.

Good news is I found the perfect match and it is working perfectly fine. 

Until I found that the holes have already become too big for screws and little not firm. When I put the screws they come lose after few open - close.

I tried to using the cuts of disposable earplug ( i knew it was not the perfect solution.),.....andddd it did not work. 

I saw that others are using some rubber tubes inside the holes, what are they ???

I think once I fix this , the problem should be fixed. 

Thank you.

Hi @Sugar,

What is the rough diameter of the holes?

You could use a Ramset Wall Plug of the corresponding diameter to the hole, then screw into the plug. If the current diameter doesn't match up closely, just drill the hole out with a drill bit in the corresponding diameter to your wall plug.

Tap the wall plug in place, then cut the excess length off before screwing the hinge back in place.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
