Your cabinet fabricator didn't use fillers/spacers? I hope a pro will chime in, because to me this just looks like an omission that has nothing to do with hinges. I hope it can be made right for you!

Firstly, is this REALLY a problem? Your hand is on the knob when you open the door, you aren’t throwing the doors open. You just paid a ton for the kitchen so you’re going to be careful...

If you think this is an issue... easiest option is a chain from the cabinet to the door (think old fashioned jewelry box)

Trickier but more elegant is installing a set screw inside the hinge that prevents it from opening all the way. I can’t really explain it but I’ve done it twice to great effect- basically the head of the screw prevent the hinge opening the full distance, the screw can be adjusted in or out to adjust the exact amount.

If whomever made these oversights in failing to plan for fillers would be willing to invest a little extra in lift-up doors for the wall cabinets, you could have doors that swing upward and don't hit the wall. You'd need 2 lift-up doors per cabinet since they are tall and there is no space at the ceiling for an over-the cabinet style door. This might mean ordering new cabinets for those spots, or you might be able to retrofit the existing boxes.

I think hinge restrictor clips can go as narrow as 86 degrees, but that might not be enough here. You could also do finger pulls or inset handle pulls to help with the clearances, but that might not look homogeneous with the rest of your decor.

I just had this issue w/mine. The sink cabinet door opened directly onto the opposite door, just like yours in the first pic. I was afraid it was going to chip the paint.

And yes Hallett, it's a prob. you don't always hang onto the cabinet when you open it, especially the bottom doors.

I had the restrictors put on mine

Hi. There are a couple of design issues going on here that relate to the handle selections. Without major changes the simplest solution is to use some clear small bump stops. An example is available on Amazon like this below.

BUMP STOPS

Your backsplash is gorgeous! This would work like Hallet suggested, available at amazon or easy to replicate from the hardware store.

For that lower cabinet, could you simply reverse the swing of the door?

Reversing the swing would mean it wouldn’t open at all. It would hit the pulls on the 90 degree door and stop at about 6” open. It required fillers.

The fillers should be in the design.

I wonder if the kitchen design originally called for inset cabinets & something got changed along the way, perhaps due to cost? Or if overlay cabinets were mistakenly ordered?

Bad design and IMO a door that doesn’t open fully is just having useless space you can’t get at I agree the easy fix is just a simple wire

I don't understand why your installer went forward before consulting with you or the KD especially before the countertops were installed. In lieu of ordering new uppers or hinge restrictors, get some clear round rubber bumpers and affix them to the side panels where the knob meets the panel. They will not be noticeable and will absorb any force if someone accidentally flings the doors open. For the base cabinet, affix it to the face of the knob. I use them on the hidden drawers that I have inside some of my large drawers. If you want to get tough with your KD and ask for a real fix, apothecary doors work in a confined space. As someone else mentioned above a lift up door could be an option. Notice the cabinet to the far left in this photo with the open shelf above the lift up door.

Find the manufacture of the hinge. Look on their site to see if the offer any for that hinge. If not, change hinge out to an 80°.

Creative Design - any idea where I can get an 80 degree hinge? I have been searching and not having luck! Thanks so much

No the worst situation, could have been avoided... If you dig, I think there are Euro hinges out there, that as you open the door, the mechanism will push the actual pivot point of the door out, and allow it to open more... I think they are called a lateral door hinges

I have what Olychick suggested. They work great and I think they are easy to install.

Ive read all the comments about what should have been done, but it's done. My contractors are done and insist that holding the handle and letting your knuckles do the work or glue that door shut and reach in from the other side. "This is how it's done" $65K remodel and this is only part of the problems. So, I am still looking for a hinge (or regulator) that will get me to 80 or 75 degrees. Any help?

they're out there because my cab guys used them.

do some research and i'm sure you'll find some.

Maybe call Blum. I have their regular hinges but understand they have a wide variety.

Thanks Beth, I've googled for hours, to no avail. Joshuasamah, good idea, I'll try that, but the contractor said they checked Blum already.

Beautiful kitchen, not the end of the world.

Karen I wish you luck. I hope Blum can help. Maybe try the stainless steel door restrictor if all else fails. I had the same problem but the 90 restrictor worked. Beautiful kitchen!

Karen, can you call around to some high end cabinet refinishers or Kitchen companies and ask them?

I put in a request to my own cabinet guy to see what he says. He'll get back to me.

just curious if any of this was discussed during the planning stage?

I had a similar issue w/my lower, corner cab, and the upper cab against the wall, but the restrictor did work

Those photos are someone else's kitchen. I will call Blum. Our "kitchen designer" did not factor anything in. I joined this thread seeing so many admonitions of what a person should have done, and I'm trying to focus on what can be done from here. It keeps my blood pressure down, as this is but the tip of the iceberg :)
