    What are these hinges called? My fitter used them as a means to stop the cabinet door from swinging out too far. Is there a better alternative as it stops the door from closing often? I think these are only supposed to be used for opening lift up style cabinet doors

    You're a star! Thank you so much for this!

    Are you sure they would work in my particular hinges?

    How many are needed per door? 1 per hinge?

    They may or may not work with your current hinges. If they don't all you have to do is buy a pair of hinges listed on the link.
    To save any stress on a single hinge, i would use one on each hinge.

    Can you do a decent close up of teh hinge fitted - and in focus. And also with any name overlay removed.

    You may be able to use an insert or change the actual hinge. What ANGEL do you need to restrict to?

    Put my suggestion to them and see what they say ... then let me know as it is always worth knowing. I have a door which uses 100 and a restrictor to get 85 degrees to miss crashing into a rack - just; the other door is a 170.

    We had a local Blum distributer- whith almost every hinge available ex-stock and they had a pallet or two of hinges and associated products delivered every week so you could go and try everything until a solution was found.

    So that will give you the 86 degrees - what about the 5 degree spacer for getting closer to 80?
