Thanks for posting. See our 32-101 Hinge. Take a look, review the dimensions, and see if you think this might work for you. You could also review our 32-126.

I need a dimension that isn't in the specifications, is the width of the plate, it says 1 5/8 but what's the width? Thank you for your response

Ah, I should have clarified at the outset. So the 'depth' of the 32-101's plate is about 1-3/8". I have no doubt your old hinge's plate is longer. You see, some time ago the manufacturer of this particular hinge moved their plant from Japan to China. When this happened, they started shortening the plate, and consequently the hole spacing changed as well. Why did they do this? Who knows. The result though is that we often get this question about the 32-101, and unfortunately more often than not customers have to drill new holes to use these newer hinges.
