Replacement for Blum 30.310-11.02 Compact 33 Cabinet Hinges, 8-Pack

Even though I only needed one, this cabinet hinge fit my cabinet door because the plastic piece inside of it had broken. So I had to replace it and it was easy to replace. It's slid right in the place and so far so good. (Cabinets by CraftMaid).

Easy to install and work just like the originals. There is a foam rubber insert that needs to be removed. That seems to be there to make them easy to open up for installation.

Fit perfectly. Now my doors are working great again! (If they don't last, I will come back and update.) One caveat: There is a little pin on the side of the hinge that was sticking out on a few of the hinges. With the pin sticking out, you can't get the hinge perfectly into the round hole. A few taps with a hammer sent the pin back where it belonged, and then the hinges fit perfectly. A small manufacturing flaw, I suppose.

5 stars for now. It will take time to see how well these generic Blum hinges perform and more importantly, how long they last. The Holdly hinges are relatively simple to install and are exactly the same install and removal as the Blum. They are quiet and have a decent soft close action. The Blum screws are best installed with a #2 Pozi-Drive bit or screwdriver. A regular #2 Phillips screwdriver will work but can slip and gaul up the screw heads. I have a Blum specific screwdriver I use for Blum screw removal and installation. See the screwdriver photos - the #2 Pozi-Drive bit or the Blum screwdriver will ensure that you don’t strip out the screw heads easily. There is NO mounting hardware included with these hinges. The presumption is that you are replacing an existing hinge with all existing mounting screws which is accurate in my case. Make SURE you put the proper screws back in the proper place. The screws with the points go into the cabinet frame attachment and the shorter, blunt screws go into the actual spring hinge on the door. On the wrong door, the points on the frame screws could poke through the front of your cabinet which would be bad news. The Holdly brand is a perfect fit for the OEM Blum hinges. I thought about using OEM Blum replacements but they are over priced at this time. I’m not sure where the Blum hinges are made and it’s possible the Holdly and Blum hinges come from the overseas manufacturer because I sure can’t tell them apart looking at them or activating the hinges on either brand. The Holdly and Blum hinges look exactly the same. See my “side by side” photos of the Holdly and Blum hinges. The only difference I can detect is that Blum has their name on the front of their hinge. Even the part numbers on the back of the Holdly and Blum hinges are the same. The Holdly come with a small rubber block that holds the hinge open a bit to make it easier to open the hinge for installation. Be SURE to remove those blocks or the hinges won’t close properly. See the photos of that rubber block. You can hear when a Blum hinge breaks. You hear a snap on opening or closing and a small piece of plastic from inside the hinge breaks off and falls. OEM Blum hinges are about $11 each and the Holdly are about $4 each. I have to change about 30 Blum hinges and $120 beats $330! Hope this helps!

These hinges worked perfectly Just like the original equipment

Nice hinges, but they do have a small plastic piece inside that snaps off after a few years, and then they won't hold the door closed when they both break on the door. Our kitchen has over 70 of these on the cabinets, and Blum did warranty some broken ones twice, if I returned the old ones, and then started to charge me shipping. Just as cheap or cheaper to purchase them from Amazon with free shipping. So much for lifetime warranty.

Hey, they were cheap! Blum product is superior, leave to copy cats to fall short in taking short cuts to satisfy the customers who don't know the difference. Springs are weak and surely will not last the cycle of the Blum product.

I have a whole kitchen full of the Blum =-branded version of this hinge, and now that over 20 years have passed, they have started to fail. Having gone through a dozen of them in the last year or so, I went back to my supplier to try and buy them, only to find, to my horror, that they were no longer available and that replacing them would involve far more drilling and fitting than I would want to contemplate. Fortunately there seems to be a thriving cottage industry to take advantage of Blum's stupidity, and I selected these more or less at random from several alternatives. So far they have been perfectly adequate as replacements for the original Blum hardware as several more hinges have failed. I don not think the finish is as good, but they are perfectly adequate replacements, fitting properly into the existing milled depressions of the original hinges, all screws are properly aligned and they mate perfectly with the frame components. No idea about the eventual longevity, but the originals lasted 20+ years and I am in my mid-70's, so if they are even close it probably won't be my problem when they fail:)

Fit perfectly! and so far they are standing up to wear and tear. easy to install. Note: These are only to replace worn out hinges. They do not come with the bracket that attaches to your cupboard frame.

Model conforme à mes besoins très bien

S'installe bien en lieu et place de la pièce d'origine, malheureusement, les portes ne se ferment pas complètement
