Best way to re attatch??

[jackmcc17]

Hello, recently my father in law broke the bottom cupboard door (photos attached). What is the best way of reattaching? It seems any hinges that where there previously for the bottom door have been binned.

Find a hinge to match, does the bit still on the wall have a manufacturer name or number stamped on it?

Just buy a set of kitchen hinges , no need to match .

They look like they might be 155 degree hinges.

As @Deluks said, check to see if it has a name stamped on it.

If not, it is not the end of the world. The 35mm cup hole is generally in the same place but you may find that the fitting holes for the cup deviate by a couple of mm. If so, you can superglue in some matches to fill the small screw holes and redrill. If the cruciform (the bit on the frame) is different you may need to fit the new one which is supplied with the hinge. The cruciform may need to have new holes drilled.

Use clip on hinges and you don’t need to match any holes in the door . If there is damage you can use hinge repair plates .

The old hinges don't look like they were clip on. If they weren't, a new cruciform will need to be fitted. It doesn't follow that the holes will be in exactly the same place- that said, they may be.

Doesn’t matter .

How are you going to fit a clip on hinge to a non-clip on cruciform?

The hinge comes complete .You change the entire hinge , anything else would be dumb . The hinge also clips on the door .

With respect, your posts (in this particular) thread, don't seem to make much sense.

The original door has a 35mm cup hole to accommodate the door part of the hinge and two 3.5mm holes/screws to hold it to the door.

Can you provide a link to a hinge that will clip on to the door (screwless) given the above- I am not aware of any such hinge.

And again, even if it existed, there is no guarantee that the cruciform (the bit on the frame) will have holes which correspond exactly with the old cruciform.

It is a mistake to assume that all kitchen cabinet hinges are the same.

In the past I have had to work with numerous hinges from different companies. They vary a lot. Regular hinges are often 92-95 degrees (opening). The hinges on the OP's upper door are more than 92 degrees. If the door is inset, I have had to use 15 crank hinges plates (cruciforms) .
One particular brand, Hettich, has some hinges that cannot be adjusted up and down. Back and forth only.

I don't think

Just buy a set of kitchen hinges , no need to match .

is particularly helpful.

You are free to insist that you are absolutely correct. I hope that you give the OP a qualified link. I then hope that the OP gives us feedback after buying "any old" hinge which you suggested.

You seem to be out of your depth here- I concede that I may have misunderstood your post though, should that be the case, again, please give the OP links to the hinges which you recommend.

Regards.

This type of hinge , fits 35mm cup and expands into hole when clip pushed closed , no screws required in door . Hinge repair plate can be used to fit hinges anywhere on carcass regardless of original position,
