Wrong Hinges

This European-style hinge has its place.
On a framed cabinet isn't one of them.

The Hinge

This inappropriate hinge sticks back where it can gouge a hand or arm

Hazardous

This cabinet is NOT
user-friendly (California)

Useless Corner

The board solves the "gouge" problem but makes part of the cabinet virtually inaccessible (Georgia/Oregon)

A Friendlier Hinge


	What's so sad is that there are European-style hinges which mount on frames and don't stick back at all, like the one shown above. The cabinet maker and builder simply don't know or don't care.
