    We had a kitchen fitted a few years ago and one of the hinges recently broke. Annoyingly, it’s not one that’s easily found in B &Q and the like, it’s the hinge that attaches a bi-fold door – we’ve a corner cabinet with a lazy-susan type spinning shelf inside, so there are two doors, one attached to the cabinet and one hanging from that. It’s the hinge between these that has broken

    I found what I thought I needed on the B&Q website – the “cooke & lewis overlap hinge pack M”. It’s arrived today and I’ve fitted it, but it’s not right – it holds the outer door so far away from the inner door, it won’t close

    So, I’ve gone back to basics and taken the original hinges off and had a look at them and it looks like what I need is a Lama Pie-cut corner hinge

    that link says “generic”, but the pic is the same as the hinge I’ve got and that has “Lama” printed on it 🙂

    This is my hinge

    The hinge in this link might be right, the “inset” pictures certainly look like the hinge I want but the main picture doesn’t

    So, can anyone advise? Any specialists who can recommend a source? I live in Marple near Stockport and work in Hyde, East Manchester if you know of any local stockists

    thanks in advance

    Speak to Hafele. They will be able to help you as there are millions of variations of hinge. They stock Grass hinges, you could have a look at their website to get a better idea of what you need.

    The brand of the hinge doesn’t matter so much as the crank, offset etc.
