I went shopping for two sets of European Hinges for the Credenza I found a huge section dedicated to Euro hinges. I found none! zip, zilch zero of the type I wanted On the display showing at least 66 euro items a few were Inset but all were for "Frameless" not for "Face frames" This brought back memories of when I made my Shoe cabinet in Sep 2017, I found the same issue and modified the cabinet internals to suit my bucket load of Euros! pay attention to the block on the face frame. I in this particular case I didn't make the face frames wide enough.
This is the Euro I am after Now back in 2017 I was told they were not available in Australia from Lincon Sentry the biggest hardware suppliers in QLD. So not deterred I began searching the internet for a few days, by sheer chance/luck I found a YouTube video showing how to modify a straight Euro with an adapter You use a Blum hinge 71B3650 and an Insert plate 175H5030-21
However I found they were almost as elusive as Mary the Tasmanian Devil.
Blum 175H5030.21 CLIP Top Inset Face Frame Adapter with 9mm Clearance, Nickel
$19.15 Plus the hinge $8.00 or there a bouts totaling $27.00 + and then possible delivery charges. Do you think I will sink about $120.00 into a scabby pallet timber credenza?
As a mater of interest I was a member of Amazon Prime but found they lifted $9 bucks out of my back pocket each month for the privilege so I QAAF dropped the "Prime" money collecting Activity
Any constructive words of wisdom regarding Euro hinges by any chance?
Yes in fact I have, however most cabinets I saw had rebated doors with 50% inset and 50% overlay and use ornamental ornate hinges attached on the outside. That interesting concept doesn't appear to exist at all in this day and age.
They certainly charge top dollar! The required part is difficult to obtain in Europe, simply because it is rarely used in this way. That is why it is often solved the way you have done it in the past. However, the part is easy to obtain in the USA, and below you can see what it costs there in USD.
Perhaps unnecessarily, below are 6 BLUM suggestions.
Furthermore, it was noted that filling with a piece of wood is much stronger than the BLUM solution.
