Kitchen cabinet type hinges - but 25mm diameter

Is anyone aware of a UK source of kitchen cabinet type (Euro) hinges that have a 25mm rather than 35mm boss?



================================================

Will 26mm do?

can.

I'd been looking at the usual suspects that carry obscure bits, like Woodfit, Issac Lord, Ironmongery Direct. I never even thought for one moment that Screwfix would do something like this!

=================================================

I don't think you'll need any extra work (with a Dremel) if you buy the correct cutter or a single Forstner bit.

It's a replacement for one currently fitted into a punched metal framework, a quick measurement late at night with a metal tape (and my dodgy eyes) gave me the 25mm dimension, given a wide enough manufacturing tolerance it might even fit without further work.

================================================

A bit out of the ordinary then - I was assuming a wooden housing. They're cheap enough to try and discard if necessary and they are pretty standard sizes.

You might find what you want at either of these:

I think Isaac Lord can order most of their products.

Bought them and found that they were cranked differently, fortunately the screwfix ones have a u shaped pin a bit like a thick staple to hold the arm in place rather than riveted pins, so I was able to swap the arms and springs from the old ones and then they fitted perfectly.

Thanks for the source Cicero, much appreciated!
