Has anyone tried these? Are they easy to fit? What quality?
I am looking to replace my wall cabinets because all the hinges have packed up on them. I have looked around and these look OK and come in at a reasonable price. Also I am looking at the drawer unit. Again, if anyone has used them I would value your review. Thanks. |

Unfortunately Hygena in the UK and Ireland was bought by MFI in 1987, then by Home Retail Group in 2009, and it's now an Argos/Sainsburys own brand, with no connection to the continental Hygena brand sold to Nobia in 2006. Schreiber and Habitat went the same way. Owain |

The name was bought by MFI - who also went bust, I don't know who owns them now. -- from KT24 in Surrey, England "I'd rather die of exhaustion than die of boredom" Thomas Carlyle |

Even if the chipboard or wood has failed one can put in some stuff to seep in and set to make a pretty good job of firming them up, or one can find hinges with the same mechanism that fit on differently. I've never seen so many types of hinges as these days. I often wonder why, if one is good they do not all move over to them. Because there is no clear best approach and even if there was, it would be patented. "John Rumm" wrote in message ... On 09/07/2018 10:21, wrote: Has anyone tried these? Are they easy to fit?

again: Even if the chipboard or wood has failed one can put in some stuff to seep in and set to make a pretty good job of firming them up, or one can find hinges with the same mechanism that fit on differently. I've never seen so many types of hinges as these days. I often wonder why, if one is good they do not all move over to them.
