It's a sh.itjust.works link to lemmy.world on lemmy.world because the Fediverse isn't viable but I tried which is more than you can say for most humans.
I'm in a severely pissy mood because of European cup hinges and the ocean of incompetence surrounding them I'm supposed to just be okay with. It's pissed me off enough that I might just get promoted to Major Aggravated.
Well the link worked. Your cat is adorable haha.
Fun fact: Her toes are purple.
Very cool. What do you mean the cup hinges?
These sister fisting things.
You'll see them called Euro hinges, concealed hinges or cup hinges. They come in a myriad of variations and several syncopations depending on the characteristics of the cabinet and how the door relates to it, but they all work in such a way that the mechanism has to fold partially into the volume of the door itself. The part that attaches to the door is a metal cup-like structure that requires drilling a 1 3/8" by 1/2" hole in the door (if the industrial revolution took place outside your nation's borders, you'll probably understand that as 35mm by 13mm).
A major manufacturer of these infernal misunderstanding of what mechanical engineering is for publishes a catalog thicker than the engineer's head and when you order something they send you the wrong part anyway because the vendor doesn't understand this convoluted shit either.
Oooooh. They must have a different name here. I have installed those on all of my cupboards.
