have they fixed the hinge problem yet and can you install 2 of these side by side for one continuous mirrior/cabinet unit

They sent me replacement hinges a while ago and they have worked fine since. I doubt you could install them side by side because the doors need some space to swing.

Yes hinges are fine. We love this unit. I suppose you could put them side by side. I would suspect there would need to be a bit of a gap between the two to allow doors not to hit.

I've been using mine since 10/2010, and have had no problems with the hinges. No rust, no squeaks, no nothing. Re: side-by-side install, I just checked, and as you open the larger right side door and it swings outward, its mirror extends maybe 0.25 inches beyond the side of the cabinet, i.e. looks like the answer is no, unless you leave a small gap.

After a full year of operation the hinges are working fine. Doing a double installation on an EXTERIOR mount is possible. There will be a slight space between cabinets (1/4") If you do an interior mount you will need to place a vertical 1 by 4" board at the middle point so you have an attaching point for the mounting screws. This will spread your cabinets by 3/4" I mounted mine exterior, by myself and wished for an extra set of hands to help

Yes, I have two units mounted in this manner side by side. The door over;aps past the edge og the cabinet everso slightly. I did leave 1/8" spacing which looks fine as the gap between the doors is approximately that much. Mine are suraface mounted, not recessed. Not familar with hinge problem.

I was told it would 'not' work, something about the hinge not fitting correct. Also after a Google search, blogs state the same thing, NO.

My unit came with the right hardware. Just ask Amazon to send the right parts.I had a cabinet which came with an incorrect panel, and I just phoned up the company and they will send it!

You may want to check your installation because my unit went together fairly easy and everything fit okay. I do know that there is an adjustment on where the glass doors slide into the metal hinges. There should be a screw that secures the hinges to the glass. Could that be the problem? I actually put mine together quite a while back so I don't really remember some of the detail.

Not at all. I'm very happy with them, I've installed 20 of them now. (we have a lot of cabinets). Highly recommended. on installation, here's a tip:When installing the latch part, put the screws in the center of the holes, it allows for final adjustment without redrilling. Once I figured that out it went like clockwork installing the rest.

It looks like you could repair it yourself. The hinges appear to just have screws. If not, call the manufacturer help line to see what they advise.

We have the same unit where the hinge is locted on the left. The model for that unit is MWR-541-BL-C.

All I know is the older models have a problem with the hinges breaking. I don't know if they have solved this problem or not.

I bought mine around the same time and didn't have that problem. It's odd that you would receive both with hinge damage. As far as I know it has been fixed. Yes. I hope you get a better replacement.

I wish I could help but I hired someone to do the repairs. The only thing I know is the hinges were exactly what he replaced. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful

Had the same problem. Called manufacturer's customer service and they pointed out that there are actually TWO different kind of hinges. The difference is barely noticeable and not super obvious in the directions, but enough to screw up your doors. Switch the hinges and you'll be good.

Not sure ,but if older than a year. Good luck....I received my unit without cover hinges, and am still waiting for replacement parts. Over 2 years...

The hinges need to be adjusted. Loosen the adjustment on them and see if the doors close all the way that way. If they do, then adjust accordingly. If they don't they weren't installed correctly or you bought the wrong ones.

I did not have a problem with the doors. On the hinges there are "set" screws. On one hinge, you adjust the screw for vertical fit; on the other hinge you adjust for horizontal fit. Hope this helps
