New Kitchen Cupboard Doors

Have bought cheap new cherry modern kitchen cupboard doors from B and Q to exchange them for the crappy white doors that were put on by my local housing association. I understand that the housing association bought the doors from Howdens, do you think I will get away with using the same hinges or will I have to buy new ones from B and Q. Could not check them as the kitchens were on show in B and Q and could not measure the hinges very well, although they did look about the same. I am awaiting delivery of my doors. Thanks in advance.

    must be an even money chance that the hinges will be the same.
    there are few styles out there. some are very common indeed.
    Get some gorm.
  • We did this a couple of years ago and we just used the same hinges. As far as I recall we had to make our own holes in the doors for screws anyway so that helpes a fair bit.

    New doors can make a big difference to a kitchen and we will only be replacing the doors in the new one when we move next month.
