## Questions & Answers

**Q: If I am using these to replace similar-style, non-soft-closing hinges, would I need to replace just one or both hinges to get the soft-close effect?**
A: according to Blum website, you may need only one soft close if the door is small and lightweight.   if you do use 2 soft close hinges per door,  you can turn off the feature in one of the hinges if necessary for the proper effect.

**Q: Would a 25mm Forstner bit be appropriate or a 45mm?**
A: the hinge cup should be drilled out to 35mm

**Q: when using a Kreg jig which setting do you use with this soft close hinge 38N to get a 1/2 in overlay**
A: I had to use the 3 (3mm) setting with 18.5mm (23/32” or just under 3/4”) thick door stock, shaker style. 4 brought the outer door edge too close to the frame for comfort. Different cabinet door edge styles will vary- however for shaker styles with nearly no outer-edge routing taken away around the door border, 3 seems ideal. More classic frames with edges routed out may be okay at deeper distances like 4-6mm

**Q: Do you carry 3/4" overlay soft-close?**
A: No, I'm sorry we don't carry the 3/4". However other sellers do. Here is an ASIN number you can enter into the Amazon search bar that might be helpful. B007O6VELC

Great product ease of use. a good value closes easy

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect replacement for 30 year old Blum 1/2" Overlay Hinges (not soft close)
*by J***F on October 23, 2019*

Our 30 yr old cabinets started not opening and closing properly and it was obvious the old Blum hinges were breaking down. They are mostly nickeled metal but have plastic inserts for the rotation range. You have to be really careful selecting the hinges that mount the same way as your existing ones. Some screw onto the face (exterior side) of the cupboard frame, and others like these screw onto the inside edge of the frame.I was a bit anxious whether the hinge to edge distances were correct or not but these are perfectly compatible with the non-Blumotion (soft close) version of the Blum 1/2' Overlay. I removed the olde hinges, screwed these onto the doors using the exact same two screw holes. However, the old hinges had two screws securing hinge to the cabinet frame and this model uses one large screw. So I carefully measured each set of two holes on the fram and drilled another 1/8" hole exactly between them. Oddly some of the old hinges had two holes 1-1/2" apart and others at 1-3/8" apart. But regardless, by centering the new drill hole in the center between the old holes the hinges went on perfectly. Measure every hinge and mark accordingly to be sure. Best to use a ruler that has marked increments down to 1/16".It is easiest to do this with a helper to have the door held while the hinge screws are driven into the cabinet frame (attaching door to frame). Work together to remove doors (we did one or two at a time), then one person can be removing old hinges and attaching new hinges to the door while the other person is measuring and drilling the new holes on the cabinet frame. Then both can work together to hold the door steady and attach the hinges to cabinet frame.The hinges have small adjustments for (A) moving the door away from the frame and also (B) away from the hinge. I did not need either adjust for single doors. But for doors that close together (doubles) I had to back the screw towards the middle of the hinge all the way out usually to allow to the doors to close together without binding. I suspect older doors have swelled a bit and may have banged loose a bit so need more room to close properly. The hinge attaches to the frame with slotted holes and one screw so there can be some adjustment up and down as well for matching heights of double doors.These hinges work really well. You can give the door a good push to close and it slows down and then very gently oozes to a close. One warning though. When opening to 90* they kind of spring open further to the full 105*. So if the door opens into a corner it will bang loudly against the opposing door/wall. In this case be sure to get the Blum COMPACT hinge restrictors (about five dollars per 20 or so) for each hinge. The restrictors only allow the hinge to open to 87* which still allows full access to the cupboard but absolutely will not bang into corner cabinet or wall.These soft close hinges have a made a huge difference for us. No more banging cabinet/cupboard doors! Saves wear and tear on the cabinet doors and so quiet. I will suggest that if you need to replace only a couple of worn out door's hinges, to consider upgrading ALL your cabinet doors in that area with the same type of hinge. We just upgraded the broken hinges/doors but then we got used to giving them a good push to close and when it turns out to be one of the doors with older style hinges they go BANG. Now I have all the door hinges upgrade to these Blumotion soft close style and the kitchen so much quieter and I don't cringe hearing bangs and thinking what damage is eventually done to the door.
