I have some cabinets that I repainted where a few of the cabinets with double doors and no center stile rub together. I think a few were rubbing before as I just bought the house but the paint I added to door and frame tightened the tolerances. I have the hinges adjusted outward the max amount of both sides but they still touch in middle.
Would getting a similar hinge with a larger overlay help me? I am trying figure out what changes on the hinge with a larger overlay? Does the offset between the cup hole and the bracket that connects to the frame actually change. ie... will getting the same hinge with a different overlay shift the door right/left relative to the frame? I was thinking maybe it does but then I was also thinking that maybe just the 'arm' of the hinge is longer if you have a larger overlay so that the outside of the door doesnt smack in to the frame as you open it. ie a door with a larger overlay on the hinge side might need a longer arm so that the outside of the door doesnt smack in to the frame as it opens.
my backup plan is to get a trim router and trim the frame a bit in the hinge area to make the frame opening 'wider' but I would love to but it would be much easier to buy new hinges of playing with the overlay helps.
I have fairly issues blum hinges.
