lincoln sentry or furnware ask for blum they are the best quality

Hi Joel,
My Bunnings (yes, I go to 2) both stock cheap-and-nasty AND Blum. The cheap and nasty are in vacuum packs and the Blum are in little clear fronted cabinets showing how the different types are fitted. Worth a look.

You can get a vast array of hinges from any of Hafele, Hettich, or Blum. They all have electronic catalgues and will supply to the non trade and will deliver by courier if not represented in your immediate area. Hafele are good at supplying small orders and giving advice on applicability of their huge product range.

All professional cabinet shops will use the hinges from one ar more of these three suppliers. You may be able to obtain your needs from that source by direct approach as most shops buy in large lots!

You can also buy cheap drilling jigs from those suppliers that make the precise setting of the hinges easy (or easier). You can also make your own drilling jig from timber scraps in a matter of minutes once you have established the required set back from the door edge for the hinge type and application.

Most of these hinges have quite a wide range of adjustment capacity in three axes but the precise spacing of the distance between the hinges needs to be spot on; so its no short- cuts please if you want a job free of immense frustration trying to juggle the adjusters to accomodate poor work.

Can anyone enlighten on where you get these from, ideally some where in North Melbourne, but online OK to.

I don't know about IKEA in Oz, but in my local store they now sell good quality Blum hinges for £3 a pair (approx $6).

Thanks All!

Now pointed in the right direction, I'm preparing to photograph the end results (in a couple of months, got to finish framing first)

Cheers
