Tools and Hardware Reviews of Blum 110 Degrees Screw On Self Closing Compact 33 Hinge
Customer Review: OK its a hinge
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this as a replacement hinge on Amazon. I bought it to match the other 19 hinges in my kitchen. So I have to disclose that I did not put a lot of thought into my purchase at this time.
However, given that I haven't needed a replacement hinge for about 16 years I would say the hinge works well, lasts long and looks good in a very silver and black hinge way. There are probably many, many parameters for judging a hinge but these are the 3 that matter to me.
Buy this hinge and don't think about it every day when you get a cup out for coffee, grab a plate for a sandwich, get a vase for flowers or need a pan for something. It's a good hinge but its a hinge.
Customer Review: Free Blum replacements: How to tell it's broken
Summary: 3 Stars
Blum 33.3600 Compact 33 Screw On 110 Degree Opening Face Frame Hinge Yes, some of them do break after a few years, but Blum was quick to send replacements, without question, for entire doors rather than for individual hinges. Unless the whole door is broken, the only way to identify the individual defective hinges is to remove and close them. If the metal hinge pin is no longer covered by a black plastic tongue, it's a broken hinge. On my bathroom doors, which are lighter and less frequently opened, these hinges have worked fine for years.Customer Review: The reason I buy these is because I have to......

The cabinets that are in my home use these hinges. As it turns out there is a piece of plastic in the hinge that gives it it's self closing ability. It works great.........for about 7-10 years. One day it will break and at that point the self closing ability will be gone. Thank goodness for companies that sell this replacement piece, you will need it at some point. It is easy to replace. It takes about 2 min/hinge and you only need the half on the door. "German Engineering" is supposed to be the standard by which others are measured. If that is the case, then I am really disappointed.Customer Review: Not one of Blum's better products
Summary: 1 Stars
There is only one small piece on this hinge that is plastic, but unfortunately it will eventually break. The cabinet may continue to work (more or less), but until the defective hinge is replaced the cabinet will make snapping and popping noises each time it is opened or closed. Other reviewers have some good ideas about alternatives in case you already have purchased the Compact 33 hinge and experienced the plastic piece breaking. If you haven't purchased these Blum may make some quality hinges, this just isn't one of them.Customer Review: Blum is replacing a defective batch - EXCELLENT SERVICE!!
Summary: 4 Stars
My cabinets were installed with these about 12 years ago and about 40% of these hinges have failed as described in other reviews. I contacted Blum USA +1 800 438 6788 (USA only) and they immediately offered to send replacements for the ones I currently have broken... and let me know to call if more fail. They said they had a bad run of those with a defective mechanism that caused the plastic part to crack - back around the time mine were installed. That has been fixed and the replacements should be fine. AWESOME CUSTOMER SERVICE!
