Hello everyone,

I have been using Blum Euro 110º 35mm cup face frame hinges for all the
doors in my parents kitchen. They work great on the 2-7/16" stile panel
doors I have made so far, but I am making some divided lite cabinet doors
that have only a 1-7/16" stile. Obviously a 35mm cup hinge will not work.

Does anyone know of a similar hinge with a smaller cup?

Thanks,

David.

Yeah that is a bit too skinny for the euro hinge cup you need a minimum of
1-9/16" IIRC. Why not make the stiles a bit wider? It may be hard to tell
the difference if you do not go too wide. Most of my door stiles are 1-3/4
or 2" wide. The only other size that I am aware of is larger, 42mm. I had
to use that size on some hinges that mounted to a carrier that allowed the
doors to slid in beside a TV.

I bought 26 mm hinges from Rockler recently. Check out

Cool. Thanks for the ref. I'll have to keep those in mind for the special
occasion. Not too cheap are they. LOL
I typically buy mine 100 at a time for about $1.69 ea.
