Hello, I have 2 hinges (511 243 01.92) that look like they could be replaced by your 32-346. My measure about 3/8" offset when the door is open 90 degrees. Meaning the inside of the door is offset that dimension to the frame of the cabinet.

Thank you for your help

The 32-346 are immediately what came to mind for me as well. The only other possibility to me is the 32-349. These cabinet hinges can be tricky to replace. Compare both with your old hinges and see which you think might work for you.

Thank you for you feedback, regarding the 32-349, I am interested in understanding more the 1/2" overlay, how is this measured? Also, I note that the -349 has a 110 degree opening, as this is a corner door, is that measured from the door close position?

Thanks again for your help.

I'm not sure I understand your photos. You say this is a cabinet door that has a Lazy Susan in it. Normally, the Lazy Susan is in the lower corner cabinet. In my corner cabinet in my kitchen, for example, I have he 32-344 large opening hinges. I found with these hinges that I can get a large opening to access the inside of the cabinet. The door swings out of the way.

You might be able to use a hinge like the 32-349, but you don't get that large opening like you do with the 32-344. The 32-346 bi-fold hinge is when you have two doors attached to each other, meaning that when you open the one door the other door also opens up with it.
