What Are the Different Types of Kitchen Cabinet Hinges?

Hey, does anybody here have any advice on what kind of kitchen hinges to use if your kitchen cabinet doors are made of clear glass? From what I've seen of most cabinet hinges, they stick out way too far -- I need some cabinet hinges for kitchens that have a lot of glass.

They must make a specific glass door hinge that is also self-concealing for use on kitchen cabinets, right? I see glass kitchen cabinet doors in designer kitchens in magazines all the time, and I really love the look. I'm especially fond of being able to look at the cabinets and see my favorite dishes on display there without worrying about them getting covered in dust.

I want kitchen cabinets like that -- help me figure this hinge thing out, anybody?

@hanley79 - When you're looking for unique and especially fancy-looking kitchen cabinet hinges, European stores are the place to check. You can order cabinet hinges online for pretty cheap as far as shipping is concerned, but the hinges themselves might cost a lot depending on just how ornate and fancy you want.

So, Steampunk, huh? Sounds like you might be able to appreciate my own weird decorating sense.

My family gets a kick out of it, but strangers are perplexed; see, I like to mismatch things in my home. This includes kitchen cabinet hinges -- I get a different set that looks unique for each cabinet. I also mismatch my furniture, my dishes, my drapes and even my clothing. The variation in textures and patterns just makes me happy, so I don't care how bad anybody else thinks it looks.

@Hawthorne - Wow, it sounds like you really aren't fond of hinges! I'm your polar opposite -- I love them. I think cabinets (and doors, and front gates) look awesome with ornate, polished black hinges in swirly designs you might find in Victorian England.

Of course, I'm a fan of the Steampunk decorating style, and it sounds like you're more of the "clean, fresh paint and simple, smooth style" kind of person.

For anybody else reading this who likes kitchen cabinet hinges, do you have any suggestions for where I could buy kitchen cabinet hinges that match the hinges on my wrought iron from gate? Cabinet hinges in fancy Steampunk style designs are harder to come by than, say, door hinges or bathroom cabinet hinges, but I really want my place to match.

When it comes to kitchen cabinet door hinges, I prefer the butt or flush hinges by far. I don't want hinges to be visible -- I just want them to serve their function, which is holding my cabinet doors on and allowing me to open and close them easily.

I've remodeled my kitchen twice now; both times I used the flush hinges and put them on the insides of the cabinets, then painted over them with the same color of paint that I was painting the cabinets with. The first time I made the mistake of not choosing galvanized screws, and as a result the hinges themselves were pristine, but the screws holding them on rusted through my white paint.

Believe it or not, the rusted screws inside of the cabinets were one of my biggest motivators for remodeling the kitchen. Hinges bother me that much -- I want them out of sight, out of mind! If there was a way to stick hinges into the edge of the cabinets' boards so that they weren't visible inside or out, I would do it.
