Hi,

It’s possible to buy restrictors for cabinet hinges that limit them to about 80 degrees, rather than the normal 110 degrees; here’s an example:

These clip into the “cup” part of the hinge, and I’m guessing that they only fit the normal 35mm diameter cups, right?

I have hinges with the smaller 26mm cup. Has anyone found a restrictor that will work with that? Or alternatively, can anyone else suggest how to restrict these hinges to 90 degrees? I feel it might be possible to just stuff a piece of suitable-thickness plastic into the hole where these restrictors go.
