A most excellent guide template comes with the parts. Made the install a breeze. No fiddling with lookup tables. No worries sighting (locating) the far end of this closer: fix the pivot end first, hold the door to the desired open position & the drill locations can easily be marked. Oh, the pivot hinge also works fine. Cheers, FanBelt32

I already reviewed this but perhaps it did not submit properly. Anyway, this Opener/Stay works very well, was simple to install (did both a right and left as recommended) and is light years ahead of the OEM part that the cabinet maker used. Very happy with this as well as with Cabinet Parts. I've used this company before and will continue as their selection is unbeatable and prices very reasonable. They have a significantly greater selection and offer many more options than a typical hardware store or big box store. You won't be disappointed!

When I moved into my home, I inherited a very expensive kitchen from the pervious owners. That very expensive kitchen is now 20 years old and parts of it are in need of replacement. High on that list was the mechanism that controlled a vertical lift door on a counter wall cabinet. I am not a carpenter by any stretch of the imagination but I do know how to maintain my home. Even so, replacing these hinges was going to be a test. I had to do an exact replacement of a Sugatsune hinge set and I assumed that over the 20 years since the first one had been installed that the manufacturer would have changed the dimensions of the hardware. So I resolved to just deal with whatever arrived and be precise with my measurements. The hinge set arrived less than a week after I ordered it and as soon as it arrived I opened up the box and started to measure things. It appeared to be the exact size of the hardware I was replacing. I then removed the old hardware and the new hardware lined up precisely with the existing holes. I was in luck. I had the whole thing installed in about a half an hour and my counter wall cabinet with a vertical lift door works as perfectly as it did when it was new. Here's the best part. When I called the cabinet manufacturer they told me that they could order me the parts I needed for $600 but then I'd need to hire one of their installers for a day to install it. It would have cost me around a thousand dollars total. But by buying the hardware and installing it myself, I'm out less than $200. Thank you CabinetParts.com!
