Blum Hinge Restrictor Question

9 years ago

I have hinge restrictors on one of my inset pantry doors to keep it from hitting the wall next to it. I believe the angle is 86 degrees. The problem is that the pull-out pantry shelves are hitting the door from the inside now when they are pulled out. When these were installed I was told to just hold the door open when pulling out the pantry shelves which would work if I didn't have little kids whipping out the shelves all day long. The insides of my doors are really taking a beating. I have read that these hinge restrictors can go up to 110 degrees which is what we need. Does anyone know if I need a different restrictor to make this happen or if I can simply adjust the one I have now? Thanks in advance.

I don't know about the hinge restrictors, but along with those, you can add corner protectors to the slide out drawers.

Oh my gosh! I didn't know there were hinge restricters! Off to Google. My new cabinets swing back to far and hit the fridge, MW, other cabinets.

Before I order some. How can I tell if they will work with my hinges?

Yep. They will go in the little open rectangle on the right part of the hinge.

Thanks Donna! Looking forward to removing the little clear rubber bumpers everywhere :)

Order more than you need! Some of our restrictors didn't work/stay in place. One just popped out after a month of use. I only use them on the doors that can bump into something else.

I only needed six, but couldn't find a pack for less than 20. Thought it was a shame I couldn't buy only what I needed, but I guess now I should be glad I have spares just in case they pop off. Thanks, Pippiep.
