Cabinet Hinges- House built 1985

Hello, I'm having all the cabinets in my home painted white. They are currently a dark brown, faux wood grain finish. The issue is the painter does not feel comfortable, patching old holes and drilling new ones to replace hinges with newer ones. I'm trying to find the same hinges as the ones in the picture and I would like them in matte black, brushed nickel.

Hello there. I am afraid the 32-126 and the offset 32-127 are our closest matches to your old hinge design. Now, as you can clearly see, the base plate does not extend as far as your old hinge, and the hole pattern is likely slightly off. Unfortunately nothing can be helped with this. As I understand it, the original version of these hinges was made by a manufacturer that had a plant based in Japan. At some point, as businesses are wont to do, they moved production to China. When this happened, for some inexplicable reason the original mold was destroyed and replaced. Because of this, finding original hinges of this design is next to impossible. I've yet to hear of anyone tracking them down. Drilling holes, while not nominal, might be your only option. I apologize for the inconvenience.
