I'm in the design phase for a panel cabinet and I'm going to be using Blum hinges for the firs time. I'm planning on building a mock-up to verify my understanding of how to install the hinges, but have a couple of questions on the parts to order. The cabinet is a panel style with full overlay. If I understand their documents correctly, this means I need the 71B3550 hinges for the far outer doors and the 71B3650 hinges for the inner doors.
Questions:
Which mounting plate to use? I know I need a 0 mm plate. What's the practical difference between the one pice and two piece mounting plates?
For the case of the inner doors which have the twin overlay, it seems I need to use what they call the "twin application screw". Does anybody have a good source for those?
In general, would you go with regular screws, or go with the 5 mm shelf holes and use those with the euro screws?
I've placed an order for my trial parts with Cabinet Parts. Are there any other go-to suppliers I should check out?
