Want to update your style by replacing the slab or just door hardware? Check these 3 things to get new hinges that match the existing holes & notches in the frame: Shape of the corner (square, small curve (~ ¼” radius) or big curve (5/8” radius), height from top to bottom (typically 3”-4 1/2”) &  # of screws (typically 3 or 4). We don’t sell materials, so we won’t tell you to replace something that still works.
