My Thomasville cabinets came with Blum Hinges labeled "Austria 70.655 - 1.01" and "175L660 - 01.22". Will this #23554 hinge work?
170 +/- degree hinge for a 1-1/2" overlay condition. Help! I bought this hinge to improve the opening swing on a set of double cabinet doors. Unfortunately the doors overlay the face frame at each side by a full 1-1/2". These are factory made cabinets of good quality purchased from a major home improvement store - that store's cabinet department doesn't seem to understand the issue. The largest offset (as I understand) of these hinges is 5/8" - is there a known 170-degree hinge that has the mechanics and geometry to work with a face frame overlay of 1-1/2"?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

What is weight limit on this hinge?
BEST ANSWER: Check Blum product literature on the internet for this. They will at least recommend the number of hinges you should use for a particular door size. The doors in question are usually 3/4 inches thick kitchen or bathroom doors made out of wood or MDF.

I have installed the 170 hinges, but when I close both doors, the doors are too close and touch. By closing them at the same time I can get them shut. Is there an adjustment to move the door on the hinge?
BEST ANSWER: When you turn the Phillips bolt at the rear of the hinge you can get the door to move approximately 1/4 inch in either direction. Up and down movement is controlled by a bolt that is hard to see inside the hinge body.

The hinge mounting plate (for 170 degree face frame) is attached with two screws to cabinet face frame. Is this sufficient to hold hinge? The other end of plate does not attach to anything? Is a mounting block needed?
BEST ANSWER: Phil,
Yes it is sufficient to hold the hinge to the face frame. The other end of the hinge attaches to the door. Hope I understood your question correctly

I bought these at the Cambridge MA store. They were for a 24in kitchen cabinet right over the dishwasher. The original 100 deg hinges made it impossible to reach the cabinet from the sink side of the dishwasher poor planning on the part of the kitchen designer. These hinges were a drop in and allow the door to swing totally out of the way so that we can empty the dishwasher and put dishes right into the cabinet. These were so easy to install. My only complaint is that they came packed in sets of two and I needed 3 hinges so I had to buy an extra.

Hinge is excellent but to be used in my cabinet to replace a 110 deg. hinge was possible since the protrusion of the hinge inside of the cabinet interfered with the Lazy Susan shelving. I did not want to make more holes in the door.

These hinges are wonderful
The 170° opening is a great solution for a wide door where you want complete access to shelves and a 100° door would be in the way. I have used these twice for such applications and bought an extra set since I knew I would want to use that type hinge again.

I almost gave up trying to replace two sets of hinges in my kitchen. Then, I found the Rockler website. I was able to use the photo's to perfectly match the broken hinges. I got ready for an entire day project, I was finished in 15-20 minutes! Both sets of doors work perfectly, and I agree with Craig that the quality seems much better than the originals. I have completed two other projects by using the Rockler website. It is on top of my Favorites list now!!

These hinges are an absolute dream to work with. They are so forgiving with adjustment up/down, sideways and in/out. Using these hinges on a pie-corner door was a concern, but no problem, a slight adjustment and the doors work great.

Love the 170 degree opening!
Have a cupboard that 90 degree doors just do not allow good access. These hinges solved that.
The only problem I had was the fact that the screw holes from the old hinges did not line up with these new hinges. A few hardwood dowels and some wood glue solved that problem. Would definitely recommend these Blum hinges.
