Hello everyone,
I have been using Blum Euro 110º 35mm cup face frame hinges for all the
doors in my parents kitchen. They work great on the 2-7/16" stile panel
doors I have made so far, but I am making some divided lite cabinet doors
that have only a 1-7/16" stile. Obviously a 35mm cup hinge will not work.
Does anyone know of a similar hinge with a smaller cup?
Thanks,
David.
I bought 26 mm hinges from Rockler recently. Check out

Yeah that is a bit too skinny for the euro hinge cup you need a minimum of
1-9/16" IIRC. Why not make the stiles a bit wider? It may be hard to tell
the difference if you do not go too wide. Most of my door stiles are 1-3/4
or 2" wide. The only other size that I am aware of is larger, 42mm. I had
to use that size on some hinges that mounted to a carrier that allowed the
doors to slid in beside a TV.

Cool. Thanks for the ref. I'll have to keep those in mind for the special
occasion. Not too cheap are they. LOL
I typically buy mine 100 at a time for about $1.69 ea.
