I have a broken hinge on a mirror cabinet. It is some kind of Blum-like hinge: it is connected to the bottom of the cabinet and then in the side to a door.
I can not seem to find such a hinge available.
Does anyone know how this would be called or where I can find it?
I believe that flat metal plate against the door is a cover that will pry off. You'll find screws underneath.
It looks like a lockring is used to hold the screw in place. You'll have to hold the screw still and rotate the lockring, or vise versa.
Using a flat-head screw driver and mallet, is a common way to rotate lockrings. Though, you'll have to find a way to hold the screw steady, while you bang the lockring free.
It's possible that the lockring is made of some type of softer metal, so grabbing it with pliers could easily damage it. Using a screwdriver and mallet applies force only in a useful direction, whereas pliers apply non-useful forces required for gripping. These non-useful forces may damage the lockring.
