Does anyone know where I can get some quality 270 deg kitchen cupboard hinges on or near Sydneys Nth Beaches. I only need 2 and dont feel like driving out to Wetherill Park etc as I have already been on holidays.
Cheers

Bunnings on Forestway & MonaVale Rd will probably have Blum kitchen cupboard hinges - my local one does.
Thanks SBD, I didn't know blum was stocked at bunnies!
I'll check it out but i recon they won't have 270 deg..... just me being cynical.
No I didn't know they stocked anything of quality either......I managed a pretty large double take myself.Quote:

You could always use two pairs of standard hinges on a strip with magnetic catches. I don't know if you'd be happy with the look though.
Or full overlay hinges on a hinged strip.
More hassle than 270degree hinges, but cheaper I'd imagine. There's quite some engineering involved in a 270 hinge.
Mate you have totaly lost me. :?Quote:

Anyhow I realised today that I have quite a few 270's (new Blum's) that I bought for the crn cupboards and I am sure that I stuffed up and ordered two too many.....Problem solved..well I'll know in a few weeks when I get the extra doors I need.
I got the glass splash backs today WAHOOoooooo. Pics to come .
Sort of like this: -

A lot easier just getting 270 hinges though.
i dont beleive that blum make a 270 degree hinge a 170 perhaps but not a 270
A pin hinge, or a wrap around would only cost a few bucks.
Those mechanical jobs cost a small fortune, but of course they look better being fully concealed.

Thanks also Pawnhead now that were talking 170 deg. its all a lot easier.
H&G usually stock standard 170 cup'bd hinges. Both cheap and nasties, or quality ones.
I've bought Blum 170 degree hinges at Bunnings. They have quite a good range. They even have a display with sample doors showing how the hinge works when installed.Quote:

Bunnings also stocks some other brand of similar hinges which are a bit cheaper but don't have the clip.
through this forum we as people try to help out our somewhat naive or uninformed (should i say followers) probably not ! maybe the unknowing (but then again probably not) I will call them the "unknowing"
i love them but only for their quest for knowledge ,
rule 1
.dont go to bunnings and ask advice from a pimply faced kid (male or female) about your project and expect a truly expert answer (surely logic should have kicked in right about then )
rule 2
ask for advice for someone older (i know that they (me included) would love to tell you how to go about your project for free.
rule 3 make up your own mind about the advice you have been given and pick and choose which suits you as right !
rule 4 never rag anyone for giving you advice because it is you that has taken or rejected the advice to use or reject
The Bunnies close to me has been a bunnies since day 1 and they do NOT stock Blum hinges but only what is packaged as Howard Silvers.Quote:

Les that goes back to my original thread... I didn't want to go to the other side of town.
Lincoln Sentry used to have a stoe at Brookvale but closed it when they moved to that new place out west - makes it very inconvenient.
Is it just me or do others find the fact that it takes half an hour just to get served by their surley staff a real turnoff? This may be just a Sydney problem.
When I go to the Lincoln Sentry Perth (Malaga) store the service is fantastic. It may have something to do with the fact that Cornall and Hafele are within about 500m of them.Quote:

You can ring Parburys and pay by credit card over the phone. You will receive the hinges the next day!
It's not just a Sydney problem- I've waited for up to an hour in Brisbane!
