After struggling with the laundry area (and almost getting them to the closed position)
![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
I moved onto the kitchen. So I put up the first door with the hinges... same thing - sticks out.
I originally bought these antique brass hinges for the kitchen. But the colour combination of the wrought iron and the antique brass hinges didn't look great... so I ordered these hinges which appeared to be the same as what I had initially except black. If you put the two hinges together they look exactly the same.
After a few hours of fussing around with these black hinges, I thought to myself - let's try the brass hinge to see how they work.

The brass hinges went on perfectly, no problem and I used the same holes as the original hinges and voila !
So it appears that I had the wrong hinges, even though they looked exactly alike ... the end result is that the kitchen cupboards are now hung up beautifully with the antique brass hinges. The black hinges are going back to the store and the handles are going back as well. I have already selected a matching antique brass handle which looks awesome.
Thanks for all your help folks. I put off doing the kitchen cupboards for over two years... now I know why.
Once I have installed all the handles, I will submit a picture of the completed kitchen... it looks really good.
