Hello, does anyone know if I can repair the hydraulic hinges on my Ikea kitchen cabinets?
They seem to have lost their oomph! One is gone completely, so the door slams back down if you let go and the other is starting go a bit limp too! Each cabinet only has one hinge so there is no backup.
I went to Ikea to see if they had replacements, but the design is different now (I wonder why ) and the new hinges will not fit. They suggested I bring in the whole cabinet in, but that's a bit inconvenient to say the least!
Here's a pic of them if it helps (sorry it's a bit blurry):
