Hi, did you end up figuring out how to replace those hinges? I have been searching regarding the same thing - it looks like your cab door is inset like mine. I've searched and it seems that BLUM has a line of hinges that might work for an inset door but it looks like a lot of work and that you have to know what you are doing to install them. Also, around $10 a hinge - so depending on the number you need, it super pricey. Let me know if you figured something else out.

I am having this same issue. Any updates?

Sorry, I missed the questions following my post a couple of years ago. No, we were not able to find a fix, so just installed new hinges like we had before. We did have one person say they could replace with hidden hinges, but it would have required a lot of extra steps (adding a piece of wood on the inside) and expense, so it wasn't worth it in the end.

hi! what hinges did you get? we have the same issue....but I've given up on hidden hinges and am now simply looking for black double demountable and they don't seem to exist. Only oil rubbed bronze and black iron....

I am in the exact same boat and I hate these eye sores but can't find a fix. Is there even a way to spray paint them myself? Buying replacements is getting crazy expensive for us as the cheapest piece is apx. $4.75 and i need 90+ for all of my kitchen cabinets :-'(

Hi Colleen,

I know it's very stale -- but thank you so much for posting this. I could not figure out what hinges I had - we're working on the same project you were - and your picture is a life saver (I think we have the exact same hinges). I hope your cabinets are holding up well!

It's called an Amerock double-demountable. Available in several different finishes and different offsets.

I have a 30 degree reverse bevel and was wondering if anyone found a solution for hinges. The Amerock site is awesome if you have a square 90 degree edge.

I had to "patch" the widest part of the demountable hinge channels/grooves in the face frames before mounting the cabinet half of each Salice hinge to the inside of the face frame. As shown in Colleen's pictures above, this is a "T-shaped" channel /groove that was made with a special router bit/jig. The widest part of mine measured 7/16" high x 1/2" deep. I ripped a piece of scrap pine 1"x4" that I had in my garage on my table saw so it measured 7/16" & 1/2". Then I cut it into pieces that were as long as the thickness of my face frame (1'). Then I soaked the pieces in water for a few minutes, put gorilla glue on 3 of the 4 sides, slid them into the square/rectangular section of the "T" & then fastened it in place by shooting a 1" 23-gauge pin nail thru the center. Then I filled in the rest of the T with wood putty. After the glue & wood putty dried, I sanded the front, inside edge & back of the face frame smooth with my orbital sander. This allowed both of the screws that attach the cabinet half of the hinge to the back of the face frame to be tightened in solid wood. One is in the oak face frame & the other is in the small pine block that I glued in widest part of the demountable hinge channel/groove. I'll post picture of this later too. Hope this info helps. If you'd like me to make a video just let me know. Those Salice hinges aren't cheap, but they are as smooth as butter & close the doors tight to their face frames. And making adjustments is super easy too. Which is just the opposite of what it takes to adjust those old double demountable hinges!

This is a picture of the hinges I'm using - from Rockler's website

This one shows what the hinge looks like when closed. The door & cabinet halves of the hinge snap together easily & the door can be removed by simply pressing down on the small tab on each hinge.

I placed the center of the 35mm cup holes for the new hinges 3-1/2" in from the top & bottom edges of each of my doors. The double demountable hinge channels/grooves were 3" in from the top & bottom edges. I don't plan to fill them in with wood putty as I could care less what the backs of my cabinet doors look like. I probably won't even paint them gray. If my girlfriend decides she'd like them to match the gray fronts I'll just spray a quick coat of pain on them with my Graco airless sprayer or paint them with a brush like I used for the fronts & face frames.

Troy Auth, Any pictures or updates to how this project went for you? I am attempting to do the same. Thanks.

@Troy Auth - Do you have any pictures you can post of the completed hinge replacement? Was it worth the effort?
