I have a bath cabinet with a set of hinges that were broken.

I went to Home Depot and a local hardware store and they don't have a
matching one, they look like hinges on this page:

http://www.ahturf.com/catalog/catalogue.phtml?f_action=search&f_category=677

but I don't know how I would get an exact replacement, is there any critical
measurements on the hinge I need to measure off?

I tried to look for a model number on the broken hinge, I don't know if it's
US or European...the only thing I see is a brand name "GELASI" and behind
the plate it says "A-A" and somewhere else a marking "165A48" but I am not
sure about the "165" part since it's so faint it could have been "16S" or
"15S".

It seems unrealistic I will be able to find a match at a home center so I
may have to do it online. Any idea how I would go about finding a matching
one?

Thanks,

MC

Woodcraft or Rockler...google them, then call they are quite helpful and
probably have what you need. OR go the the cabinet manufacturer and ask
them..

I have used them. Good prices. Large selection.

Since the original question was asked in 2007, a mere
8 years ago, I'm going to guess the original asker has
long since gone away, whether they found them or not.

There are any number of hinge vendors on-line. Start
searching thru them for one that looks like the hinge
you need. Lee Valley is a good place to start...

It was worth a shot since I have been searching endlessly with no success.
I ended up ordering one from Rangaire (expensive) but it is not the right
one. I have sent pictures to them and they are going to have their guys
attempt to identify it. I will check out Lee Valley as well. Thanks for
that suggestion.

I have the exact same cabinet door hinge as the one described above -- Gelasi
165A48, A-A. It appears to be Japanese. I have tried several online
specialists with no success. Does anyone know where to find a replacement?

I recently replaced a hinge on a bathroom mirror cabinet with "165A48" on it
with the Salice C2AFA99 hinge with B2V3H 0mm mounting plate from Salice
Direct. It took me a LONG time to find a hinge with the exact boring pattern.

Ah, but MC discarded the broken bath cabinet 10 years ago.

I have a bath vanity purchased at the now defunct Expo which has the same
hinges and one just broke apart. Anybody anywhere any luck? Gelasi isn’t
even a brand I can find.

Try hardwaresource.com

You can send them a picture of the hinge along with the relevant measurements
and they will search their inventory for a match.
