Hi,
It appears that mine is 2 inches wide compared to what I'm seeing in online stores that are smaller. The three attachment holes that screw into the door are set further from the hinge than others I've seen. I don't want to have to drill new holes in the 20 some cabinet doors where I'm replacing these hinges. Although the one in the photo looks OK, most others are rusted and ready to break. The inscription that is stamped states: PAT 3.391.420.US. Any ideas about where to get hinges that are this dimension? Thanks
self-closing hinge circa 1984

This resembles our 32-101, but as you likely already sussed out, it too has a smaller mounting plate than yours. Unfortunately, finding your version is next to impossible. A while ago, the manufacturer of these hinges moved their plant from Japan to China. When they did this, they for whatever reason changed the molding as well, resulting in these hinges with different dimensions. We've had no luck ever finding the older version. I am afraid you may need to drill new holes to accommodate this model. I apologize for the inconvenience.
