My BIL and I could use help finding replacement hinges for a 45* corner kitchen cabinet. They're more commonly found as a wall unit; this one happens to be a sink base. European 35mm style, no face frame, melamine on P.B.. Because it's a diagonal corner cabinet, the angle from the back of the door to the inside of the cabinet side (where the other half of the hinge mounts) is 135*. Ideally the door should open 135* to allow some shoulder room to reach the back of the cabinet.
I told my BIL that I could easily mill a filler to utilize face frame mount hinges. That would require a trip to his house for measurements and return to install, or load up a table saw. He's ready to just toss the door. My Sister has a different opinion. I'm pretty sure these hinges are not all that uncommon.
I took some pic.s with my phone but getting them from there to here is another task I'll have to learn (later).
Thank-you in advance.
