wuga98 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2010 hafele is another one you can try. When you say expensive what does that means?, all these are a few $$ parts, not worth to spend too much time to worry over unless you have >1000 of hinges.

twinklelittlestar 0 Report post Posted February 9, 2010 Hi samgalz and wuga98, thanks for sharing the info. Btw, any review regarding the carpentry works of Seng Kwong Furniture (2,4 defu lane 5). I quite like their glass kitchen cabinets and they use hettich anti-slam hinges. Any maintenance issue with glass cabinets? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am also considering this for my new flat. no, it's actually blum you can see the blum brand on the hinges. it's just marketed as ikea. price-wise, it's the same. but most IDs try to make you pay more if you request for blum even though it's cheap.

Lao Hu 0 Report post Posted February 13, 2010 Go to BLUM showroom at Ubi. 2010 Price list is there. Like most forumers said, the hinges are only few dollars each. The expensive one are the servos, followed by pull-up and then runners. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I spoke to the ikea assistant, he said the hinge is blum but it's the 2nd class one. Don't know it's true or not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ngunadi 2 Report post Posted March 30, 2010 Safest way is to ask your carpenter the exact item or size. Or you hop to Blum distributor. I am refering to those hinge type for door. How do we know which type to purchase? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ngunadi 2 Report post Posted March 30, 2010 You need to tell your ID/carpenter anyway. You need to tell them that you would provide the blum hinges so they won't quote your extra for it. But I think, since the blum hinges are only around $2/3, they should be able to absorb it or you only pay nominal amount to your ID/carpenter. FYI, I ask for anti-slam/soft-closing mechanism for my cabinets. The difference was around $100 ~~ I am wondering whether those ID will tell us or not.

I doubt it will be $2-3 per pcs unless it is the ikea OEM? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
