Is Blum the only game in town for innovative hardware?

Hafele is good too. The Hafele hinges are cheaper in general.

There are a bunch of brands of Euro hinges actually, but Hafele and
Blum have the biggest lines of all sorts of stuff like drawer slides,
pullouts, and so forth.

I have to agree with you, Lumberjoke. They’ll break the bank but they’re of very high quality. I looked into some heavy slides for a TV application and they were approaching the price of the LED!

I have been using the Blum 170 degree hinges. They are very nice but use a lot of space on the inside of the cabinet. These hinges are big. They work really nice but occupy space. In future projects, I will use standard butt hinges unless the Blum hinges are requested. They use no space on the inside of the cabinet.

The under-drawer full extention slides are nice, these are a keeper. I get them from Bold hardware in California on the web – ask for Jim. Tell him David sent you. I don’t know if he is the best price but he has given me great service. If shipping messes up, Jim makes it good.

Have you ever tried Ovis They are pretty reasonable, maybe not the top of the line, but I used their Euro hinges on all of my heavy white Ash cabinets that I built several years ago, and they are still holding up pretty well.
