I don't know if you can even get those anymore, those things are ancient.

try beaver woodworking in Brockton

look online at places like Rockler, woodcraft etc.

yea they still make them, rockler or lee valley will have those.

not sure who's that is but it's a bifold hinge
I can get you a Blum, but it will attach differently

that may be a Mepla or a Grass but if the name is not on it, it's hard for me to say and I am not familiar with the other manufacturers like Hettich,Haffle etc.

Blum makes the best so that's what I use.
do you know what kind of cabinets they are? if so, research the cabinet manufacturer and find out about the hinge, the approximate year will help as they tend to change stuf over the years.

no name on hinge or cabinets.....
where can I get a Blum??.....or anything that will work??
I tried the Big Box stores....but I'm sure you know how that turned out :laughs:
thanks...

I will be placing an order this week for hardware and will get a pair for you , it looks like they will work or you can order them here

they look like it will fit one door and the other half will screw in to the other door.

you might find that exact one by googling

here's another
no boring hole required, just put them on above or below the others and remove the broken ones

this might not be the correct ones but I'm trying
