Okay, after reading some of the posts, I finally realize why my corner cabinet does not fit properly. I'm using the wrong hinge. My hinges got mixed together at some point and I'm guessing the corner cabinet hinges are on another cabinet. But I don't see any that look different. How can I spot the hinges for the corner cabinet, so I can swap them?

Okay, I found them in the box of "why do I have all this extra stuff?" In retrospect, I do remember counting my cabinets and then buying 130 degree hinges for them, so I apparently bought an extra set not realizing the hinges for the corner cabinet were in the box. So that mystery is solved.

Now since that issue is resolved, I've got a question about my pantries. I haven't put the doors on them yet, nor have Installed the interior fittings (don't ask me why....I'm just a procrastinator). However, this is the "final touches" weekend. I have 2 pantries, one with the interior utility fittings and one with drawers. I checked my order sheet and there are only 3 153 degree hinges, shouldn't there be 6 or does the utility fittings box contain hinges? I could go pull it out of the garage and open it to chcck, but it's raining right now

After looking a bit closer, I see that my order form does show 1 3 pack of 130 degree hinges also, in addition to the 3 pk of 153 degree hinges. So, I'm assuming I use different hinges on the pantry with the drawers vs. the one with the utility fittings, but which goes with which?

Lynda,
The interior drawers will not clear a door mounted with the 130 hinges. But if you have any extra 153 hinges, use those on both. The only places I used the 130 hinges was where the door opened against a wall or another cabinet and could not swing more than 90 degrees anyway. And I absolutely love being able to swing the doors out of the way!

Surprisingly, I found the sheet that bundles the items together based on what goes with what and I see that the 130 degree hinges are for the pantry with the utility pull-out. I've learned a lot tonight!
