Hi, I have made a large cupboard for the kitchen, to contain the built-in fridge. It is a traditional design, using face frames and framee and panel doors, hung on brass butt hinges. I got the design wrong, and the doors bind at about 60 or 70 degrees open. I should have made the aperture the width of the fridge door PLUS the thickness of the timber decorative door. Can anyone recommend replacement hinges which will allow the doors to open fully, please. Thanks a lot, Ozzy

Sorry but I don't follow your problem. I can see from the photo that the outer door is hinged with the brass butt hinges to the frame. Isn't the fridge door also hinged to its own cabinet? If so, then there has to be a sliding mechanism which keeps them together but allows them to shift position as it opens.
