The half dozen times I've done "Euro-Concealed-Blum" style hinges, I've
either picked up a set from Home Depot that had the mounting plates, or
I've order "0mm" mounting plates.

The catalogs list mounting plates "0mm", "3mm", "6mm" etc.
What factors determine when you pick a certain size, other than a 0mm
mount plate?


I use the Euro style hinges all the time and buy them by the 100's. I do
not use the 2 piece type that you are referring to but I suspect that the
different sizes that you have listed are for the amount of overlay that you
want over the face frame opening. I use a 1 piece Euro style Blum brand
hinge and usually pay about $1.25 each.
