Although if you buy any new mini-hinge for a 25mm hole you could easily fit
the matching new mounting plates I expect.

While the original post is from 2007, it sounds like your problem is more
current.

I found this site yesterday and sent them pictures of some old hinges that
I would like to replace with new. I just sent the request yesterday therefore
I cannot vouch for their service level at this time. I will mention that
their auto response ended up in my spam folder. If you don't get an auto-
response from them, you may want to add hardwaresource.com to your safe list.

The gentleman from hardwaresource.com was very responsive to my inquiry about
the hinges I was looking for. His responses to multiple emails were prompt
and informative. I now know the proper way to measure an offset hinge:

"From the center line of the pin to the visible outside front surface of the plate."

I ordered my hinges from them. They earned my business.

Two other major european suppliers are Blum and Hafele. The circle with a
triangle _may_ indicate which way round the plate should be fixed.
