Overlay or Inset - What's the difference?
Here's something to consider when selecting hinges...
Look at your cabinet design before selecting hinges. On Eurostyle cabinets, hinges are attached directly to the cabinet side. This gives you the option of fully overlaying, half overlaying or insetting the door within the opening, as shown below:

Full Overlays, Half Overlays, and Inset Hinge Styles Explained

Overlay Applications

If you decide to use an overlay cabinet design, select full overlay hinges for the ends and half overlay hinges in the middle of a row of cabinets.

Inset Applications
Inset doors are recessed into the cabinet carcass to create a completely flush, clean-lined look.

 
Closing Styles
Self-closing hinges are an ideal for cabinets. The built-in spring pulls the door closed and holds it in a closed position, eliminating the need for catches.

Soft-closing hinges have an adjustable action that, when your door is pushed closed, automatically takes over and brings your door to a whisper-soft close.

Free-swing hinges are most often used in furniture applications, rather than cabinet applications.

 
3 - Way adjustability.

Three-way independent adjustment means uniform cabinetry!
Blum "European-style" hinges are easily adjustable for foolproof installation! Simply turn a screw or cam to make sideway and height adjustments for perfect cabinet door alignment. Some hinges also offer a depth adjustment, making installation easy even where minor cabinet irregularities exist!

Side Adjustment Side Adjustment
Regulates the gaps between doors, cabinets and walls for perfect parallel alignment.
Height Adjustment Height Adjustment
They match precisely at top and bottom.
Depth Adjustment Depth Adjustment
Lets you bring any style of door into line with the vertical surface of the cabinet.
 
How many hinges and how much adjustability?

Use the chart to determine how many hinges you'll need for the height and weight of your door.

A door that is 43'' high and weighs 14 lbs. requires three hinges. If your door is only 24'' high but weighs 14 lbs., go with three hinges for maximum support and stability.

Use on 5/8'' - 3/4'' doors unless otherwise noted.

Wow! These hinges fit perfectly onto my 14 year old bi-fold corner kitchen cabinet doors. I had to replace one of the original hinges as it had slowly come apart and had self destructed. I bought the set and replaced both hinges.
I'm probably a below average "handyman" at home, but I was impressed in both the quality of these hinges and how easy they were to intall. Better yet, my wife was very impressed with the final results.
Highly recommend.

A well-built hinge, and easy to install. But note should be taken that a gap is required between the folding doors. The illustration indicates that the hinge will allow the inside corners of the doors to very nearly meet when they are at 90 degrees to each other, but the hinge construction does not allow enough room for the doors to come that close together.

My Salice hinge on my cabinets busted, and was no longer available. This was an excellent replacement, and required relatively little work (two mortises and some pilot holes).
Quality product.

The bi-fold hinge was not easy to find until I found Rockler. The service was fast and the quality of the product is superb, very easy to use and instructions were also easy to understand. I am building kitchen cabinets for my home and will be needing many other items from Rockler.

After a year of looking at my daughter's "one door" corner cabinet, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I found Rockler on line and ordered the hinges that looked right. Following the instuctions, I had them in and working in about fifteen minutes, using a phillips screw driver and my drill to make new holes where needed. Also,shipping time was fantastic.

Perfect replacement hinge. Origional were cast zinc and easily cracked. Blum hinge steel construction makes it resistant to stress and downward torque.

"I live in NJ, and wish there was a physical store near where I live. My experience with rockler.com is second to none. Not only are your products first rate, but customer service/product support is exceptional. I've called several times, and never received someone on the other end of the phone who was anything but extremely helpful, patient, and friendly. The biggest compliment I can give is that I TRUST Rockler for all my woodworking needs. The only other store I can say that about is LL Bean. My wood working friends in western NJ love Rockler. Keep on keepin' on - and get a store here in Jersey!!"
