   Look online at Blum hinges. The catalog will show you what you need. It's hard to tell exactly from the photos. In addition to 110, 180 degree, etc, there are inset,overlay, etc models. Blum makes everything, and they won't snap the way that one did.

   That looks like a frameless blind corner cabinet if so you don't want an 180° hinge but a special hinge for blind corner cabinets. It could be an older Blum model but I'm guess from what I can see of the cabinet it is going to a cheaper lessor known brand. Although some are interchangeable and use the Blum drill pattern some do use a proprietary pattern and it may not be able to substitute.

   This may be of some help to you.

   Esch5995, I have used thousands of these type hinges and in a variety of brands and have never encountered any that use a different pattern. It's all based off of what is called the 35mm modular system where everything is supposed to be the same all the way to the dimensions of the room itself. Commonly in Germany when you change post war apartments you carry your kitchen with you and it supposedly fits in your new digs. I guess it's possible some manufacturer could change that but it would be counter intuitive as the industry / big dedicated machines / do most of the work making those style cabinets. But yes, Blum does make a high grade product and there are some manufactures making cheaper versions.

   Actually I could see a company like Ikea reinventing the wheel, so to speak, in what seems to be their quest to make every part of what they do catch 22 proprietary. You get a Ikea sink and it only works with an Ikea drain ,things like that. You need to replace the drain for your ikea sink but you can only get the drain if you buy a sink. If you buy our doors we'll sell you the hinges that only work in our doors. I don't know if they do that but I could see them doing it.

   Not to nit-pick but it is the 32mm system which refers to the series of 5mm holes spaced 32mm apart that allows IKea and others to make the flat packed furniture so popular today easy to build.

   When it comes to hinges the only part that is require to comply with this system is the mounting plate, which is what would typically attach to the cabinet side in 2 of the 5mm holes spaced 32mm apart.

   Manufactures are free to use any pattern they like for the door side mounting of the hinge. While the Blum pattern with its 35mm cup hole is by far the most common, 28mm and 40mm cups are seen from time to time. The other parts of this drill pattern are the offset from the edge of the door and the size and spacing of the 2 smaller mounting holes. None of these elements are required to match any standard. While Blum drill patterns are definitely the dominant version, Mepla, some Salice and Ferrari hinges and others have proprietary drilling patterns that are unique.

   To further illustrate this here is the Grass(formerly Mepla) drill chart. You can see they have 3 different drill patterns for their own hinges.

   Thanks, all, for sharing your expertise! You solved my problem! (Well, partially. I still had to install the damn thing.)
