Help Please, Hinge search

[robs-wood]

Earlier this year I bought some 1/2" partial wrap around hinges for

1/2" full inset doors. Now I need more and all I can find are for 3/4" doors. Any suggestions?

Unfortunatly, I cannot remember where I got the hinges before and when I do google search all I get are 3/4" hinges.

I bet these folks have got what you are looking for.

Mike, at the risk of sounding ungratefull, the search that you suggested was exactly the search that I used, and it appears that there are tons of hinges, however when you click on the links you will find that they are links to hinges for 3/4" doors. This is another case of Google providing bad information. It appears the the google search engine is ignoring the 1/2" portion of the search.

Thanks Mike, I guess I didn't accurately say what I am looking for. What I need is a partial wrap hinge for a 1/2" thick full inset door.

I have to agree about ignoring the 1/2, although Mike's followup is good info. I have noticed that google has become less selective and tries to offer you something that might be close. Seems like google has taken a step back.. When google first came out there engine was dead on pinpoint accurate, while yahoo and excite were like google today. I miss the old google.

That might well be because there's so many more websites available now as compared to when Google first came out.

I frequently find myself putting quotation marks around my query words in order to narrow down the searches to exact phrases.

Given the near universiality of 3/4" doors, I think you are going to have extreme difficulty finding a hinge of the type you want made for a thinner door.

Any suggestions?

Yes. Use a hinge for a 3/4 door and pad it out 1/4" on the back side. Either as a narow strip along the hinge side or just as a pad under the hinge.

I don't know hinges much beyond re-hanging a door but do you mean something like this?

or

Overlay/sim/B000PD24CY/2

or these

I wish that were the truth, but the search engine has evolved over time with them. They push the sites that pay first. They used to push the most frequently visited sites. They also have tried figuring out what you might be wanting, not what you are wanting. Some of this seems to be based on your search history, and geographic location.

It is still a good search engine, but it has lost some of hits accuracy.

Do a google search again and when the result pages come up click on "Images" at the top of the screen.

Much has to do w/ paid content skewing results to the top I think...combined with the advent of other 'bots that are used to foist "hits" to enhance sites' ordering in search results.

The explosion of content is a part of it as well as others have mentioned altho not convinced that's the key part...

Thanks for all of your suggestions. I finally found where I got the hinges from it was http//
