Just fitted the end kitchen cabinet, hinges are salice soft close hinges
110 degree, they dont supply 90 degree in that hinge pattern.
I need a little screw on thing to restrict the opening to 90 degrees so
the door does not hit the wall.
Something about the size of a normal door hinge, but not needing the
round cutout in the door etc.
Obviously would have to cope with the cam-type action of the hinge.
I don't really want a chain or bit of web strapping.

The forces on the thingummyjig that you want are going to be amplified
by the leverage applied by the door and consequently the fastenings to
the door and cabinet and the materials are going to have to be really
good if they are not going to be pulled out. Would it not be possible
to fit something energy-absorbing to the wall or the floor instead?

True. Mind you the cabinet hinges themselves take such forces. They often
have a slightly sprung limiter to take it.

I used the energy aborbing method in the bathroom - a little sticky pad (one
half of velcro) to take the knob on the bathroom cabinet.
But something like that would look crap in the kitchen, and its the door
itself hitting then wall / window reveal corner.

Someone suggested some stainless steel cable with crimped eyes on each end
fixed with pan-head screws would look OK.
