I have some cabinets that are currently using the Salice 1 1/4 inch overlay hinge. These allow the the door to hit the side of the microwave and stove hood. I would like to replace them with a hinge that limits the door travel to approximately 90 degrees. Any suggestions?

Check Blum hinges

Blum has a clip you can install on their 107 degree hinges that limits opening to 86 degrees. Salice may have one too, if not, Salice and Blum have the same bore pattern.

Your existing hinge (with 1 1/4 overlay) must be a face-frame hinge, no? That's important. The Blum hinges with limited openings are regular eurocabinet hinges, AFAIK.

I don't use face frame hinges but a quick internet search brings up Rockler with an assortment of the Blum compact FF hinges that accept a restrictor clip. FWIW.

Thanks folks, I think I have found a Blum hinge that will work with a clip. Appreciate your ideas.
