I've committed the woodworkers' sin of getting half way through a project and then searching for the hardware.

Thanks arms - looks like a German company. They seem to have mainly the euro style hinge - also called cup hinges.

I'm looking for hinges to apply to a cabinet with a face frame, rather than to a carcass construction.

They are all over the place in the US, but obviously not popular here. I think they look good. There's also the cost factor. The euro style hinges cost A$8-9 each at Bunnings - the semi-concealed face frame hinges cost US$1.66 a pair - plus postage and patience. I need 10 pairs!

I may just have to order them online and wait for them to arrive .
Another excuse to delay this project!

Are you after face frame hinges? If so, Blum in Sydney will be able to help you.

You may wish to give Duratech a call at fyshwick. They supplied some Blum hinges at a reasonable price recently when I ordered some doors. Much cheaper than hettich I purchased at magnetmart. I do not know if they will sell them separately.

Thanks very much Renomart and DBACT.

They aren't exactly like I was after, but may be the closest. I'll compare prices.

Ta,
jas

Also give Lincoln Sentry 51 lorn st queanbeyan a try

Thanks very much DBACt - I'll do that.

I think my trouble is, I'm after semi-concealed hinges, not the fully concealed 'euro' style cabinet hinges.
They look really neat and are heaps cheaper, but can't find them anywhere.
