I?m replacing a fitted fridge-freezer by a tall fitted fridge. The cavity is the standard 56cm width and the furniture doors swing on Mepla concealed hinges with their mounting plates in the cavity. The fridge-freezer slid out of the cavity without fouling the hinges but the new fridge (Electrolux ERN34800) is slightly wider and won?t clear the hinges (spec says the fridge is 54cm wide but it is more like 54.6 cm wide). I got hold of some Salice 200 fridge concealed hinges which have a low profile over the mounting plate area but the hinge end is as high as a conventional hinge. The only way I can see to use them is to put the fridge in with just the mounting plates in position then screw the bodies of the hinges on afterwards ? except that there is then only about 4mm between the head of the fixing screw and the side of the fridge. Can anyone suggest a solution apart from sending the fridge back or building a wider housing?
