Hello

I am repainting my kitchen cabinets. The cabinets are solid wood. They are
original cabinets for 1955 ( when the house was built)

I took all the doors off the cabinets along with the hinges.

I need to purchase new hinges. Should I go with the traditional old style
hinges that are not adjustable? Or should I purchase the hidden adjustable
types? Do they make retrofit hinges that will work in my application?

The Cabinet boxes are 3/4" thick.

Thanks

....I'd go with Euro hinges, they make face-frame mounts that are super
easy to locate and adjust...biggest problem is drilling them out, but
there are lots of jigs that do a good job, or if you have a drill
press it's another no sweat situation. This way you get a very clean
look, adjustability is way easy, and you get to fill those ugly holes
and cover them with paint so you'll never have to look at them again!
