Same exact size. In fact, I used the same holes to put them on. Now the cabinets don't close properly, they pop back open. I'm going to try another hinge to see if that's the problem. Anyone have any other thoughts?   Tom Reingold the prissy-pants Citizen Username: Noglider Post Number: 1153 Registered: 1-2003 Posted on Friday, November 21, 2003 - 4:51 pm:        It could be that the cabinets are not quite aligned. Check them with a level. You may want to deliberately tilt them one way or the other while the screws are loose. Then tighten them. Tom Reingold There is nothing   Michael K.

After that the doors were fine. Maybe that will work for you.
