Incorrect hinges 1382882

Question

Hi I ordered 40 of the (40) 32-101 Self Closing Hinge, 2-1/8" and they don't quite line up to my previous hinge holes and I need to see if you have what I need.

Here's some pics where it shows the holes don't line up unless the hinge doesn't sit flat. As you can see it looks like my brass ones are a 1/4" longer on the cabinet flat side. I'm afraid the holes are too close to try to make new ones and will tear up the cabinets. Please advise

I'm afraid your hinge isn't made anymore. The 32-101 is technically the same part, but the manufacturer changed the molding a few years ago for whatever reason and now the hole pattern is slightly off. As far as I know the old version isn't available anywhere and it's very difficult to track down since it is, by all ways the industry tallies these details, the same exact part as the 32-101.

It can still work in my experience but it it does require drilling new holes. If you aren't comfortable doing so then I recommend contacting a local professional.
