Cabinet Hinges

[jake_francis]

I bought my tank from Cadlight years ago. The cabinet hinges are now rusted and need to be change. Do you know If I can use cabinet hinges sold at Home depot or lowes? Thanks.

Post a pic of the hinges, I don't know Cadlights stands but I have see quite a few different euro hinges and might be able to point you in the right direction.

Here is one of the original hinges that came with the cabinet.

Yes you can get those at Depot. There are specics you need to know though. Like how much of the door overlaps the actual cabinet.
Most are 1/2" or 5/8", but getting the wrong ones will make the doors not work and another trip to the store.

It’s 1/2 over lay but I think that is also considered full overlay.

I would just unscrew that one from the door and take it with you to HD.

When you put the new ones on I suggest filling the screw holes, and then screwing the new screws in so they are not wobbly. I use a golf tee for this. Stick it in, break it off. I still do a small pilot hole to get the screw in straight, but it makes a difference in my experience.

I was able to buy hinges from home depot. I end up buying the universal hinge with full overlay.
