   Very nice post, have you heard of a manufacturer called “Grass”? I think they’re German but I’m not 100% sure about that.

   I saw their products (hinges and sliding mechanisms) for the first time at an industry trade show a few years back… all I can say is WOW! The quality is fantastic. They have some sort of hydraulics that make it impossible to “slam” the door shut, it ALWAYS closes smoothly. :)

   Maybe you could dig up a bit more info.

   Grass is a European (German) kitchen hardware manufacturer. And yes, they do have very nice drawer systems.

   Most drawer slide manufacturers today have soft closing mechanisms for their drawer systems.

    We are also looking for a Grass 1203 hinge for our 15 year old cabinets. We didn’t see one on the Grass website. Any other ideas? Where are you, Rod Rogers???

    Renomart is right, in USA you will get a free replacement on the website in post#6.
    As I reside in Canada, I will have to call the guys in Toronto:
    Grass Canada Inc.
    17-7270 Torbram Rd
    Mississauga ON, L4T 3Y7

    Phone: 905-678-1882
    Fax: 905-678-9793

    I will see if they can process the warranty instead of shipping it to the USA.

    Broken hinge on your old(er) cabinets?

    Take the hinge off and record all of the names and numbers stamped thereon.
    First look to see who manufactured them. If they were made by a manufacturer, rather than a local cabinetmaker) there should be a stamp or sticker on a drawer box.
    If you find one, contact the manufacturer, if they are still in existence.
    Google the name to find them.
    Such hinges are usually lifetime guaranteed, so the manufacturer should provide them free of charge.

    Even if your cabinets were locally made you might have some recourse, although you will probably have to buy replacement hinges.
    Most cabinet dealers save old hinges and drawer slides. I did when I was a cabinet dealer.
    So your next resource would be any local cabinet dealer…especially those who have been in business a long time.
    Call and ask them if they have a supply of old hinges and, if they say they do, and they have yours, ask if you can buy a few.
    The reason I say buy a few is that, if you have broken one, others will follow in the coming years.
    Euro hinges that mount on face frames are commonly broken because they open only to 110 degrees.
    It’s very easy to stress them by opening them to the end of their swing.
    Cabinet dealers learned this early on and collected them to satisfy calls from past customers.

    The third option is a big city hardware store. Some older ones, like Hundley Hardware in San Francisco, stash old hinges.

    The fourth option is a recycle yard that sells old cabinets. They will often also have boxes and drawers, full of old hinges. One that comes to mind is Urban Ore in Berkeley, CA. It may even pay you to buy and old cabinet just to get the hinges.

    I always order a few extra hinges for my clients nowadays, especially if they are euro-hinges that do not open fully. That way they have them for just this sort of problem.

    Do you have 3/8 inch overlay full closure hinges in a satin nickel finish? If so, how much would it be for 21 pair?
