Photoangler: These hinges replaced standard hinges which stopped holding the cabinet doors closed (little plastic tabs in the old ones cracked).

They fit exactly into the existing cutouts and even the screw holes lined up. I was able to re-use some existing screws which were stronger than the supplied screws.

The reason I am giving them 4 stars instead of 5 is that even though they fit perfectly in place of the old hinges the doors had a larger gap between them with these. There is an adjustment screw for that but fully adjusted the gap was about 1/16th of an inch larger. Not the end of the world but it would have been nice to have the same gap.

Roger S.: These soft close hinges were replacements for other worn-out soft close hinges where we already had the necessary recess cut out on cabinets. Be aware of that if these are for first time mounting. They work great. In fact I only replaced one hinge on most cabinets.

Kindle Customer 1975: Did not use. I have successfully used this brand of hinge with a 1/2” offset on other cabinets recently.

The manufacturer of my cabinets had notched the face frame about 1/8 “ each to fit the brand of hinge they used. These had a wider mount plate so did not fit the slot previously cut out. Probably needed the wider plate as these were 1 1/4” offset doors.

In addition the cabinet installer had used trim screws hidden under the hinges to make a clean attachment to the adjacent cabinets. Some of These screws aligned with the hole locations of these hinges. I did not want to mess with the cabinet installation, so I gave up trying to use these excellent hinges.

CindyCindy: These invisible hinges are sturdy and fairly easy to work with. The same thing at Home Depot is 2/$8.00 and I needed 30 so that would have been $120.00. Buying these from Amazon saved $75.00 and they are the same thing. The only hiccup was that Amazon shorted me 2 hinges which I realized when I got to the last two doors, so I had to buy another two hinges. Not a big enough issue to squabble about, but you might want to count them when you get them.
These hinges are for FRAMED cabinets - there are framed and unframed so you need to determine which you have. (youtube is helpful). I also had bought the KREG concealed hinge jig from Amazon to drill out the holes that the hinges set into.
These hinges don't come with instructions but there is a video that is helpful and the rest you can pretty much figure out. The hinges are slightly adjustable as well.
The before and after photos show that hidden hinges give a cleaner look to the cabinets.
My best advice is not to rush through it unless you're already a professional.

James RichardJames Richard: Easy to install, lots of adjustments and smooth operation. There is a notable like 3/16-1/4" gap that can't be adjusted out at the hinge side. I also found I had to install them almost right at the edge of the cabinet door to achieve my 1/2" overlay

Stas Stavropoulos: Replacing old hinges.
I wish the mounting holes lined up with my old hinge but still easy to install.
Opens fast and closes slow.

David: Very poor quality, the doors stick out 1/4 inch from the face frame, and that's after adjusting them in all the way. I ended up not using them, and installing hinges from the Home Depot.

: Likes: price and average quality, designed for 3/4 face frame but will work if thicker
Dislike: instructions not clear where to install the hole (1 1/4 bit works by the way), only one screw to screw to face frame
