Screws won't budge!AnneComing right out of the package the screws needed to secure the door in place were impossible to move at all. I couldn't screw them in or out of the hinge; they were locked in place in all 4 hinges I purchased. Then when trying to remove the old doors, I realized those hinge screws were also locked in place and the only way to remove the doors was to literally rip them off their hinges. So now I'm also out a besta cabinet. These are a complete waste of money and I'm confused why IKEA would sell a product that clearly doesn't work. 1
Hard to install and adjustKevinMessed up my cabinets trying to align and had to dissemble. Screw heads got all messed up and instructions very confusing.1
Horrific InstructionsTaylorThis litearlly couldn't have come with less guidance. I searched the internet high and low and there's nothing for people. I couldn't even get help from your customer service, they only sent me the same entirely unhelpful diagram that comes on the bag. Do they only install on the right side of the cabinet, opening L to R?? What are all the additional pieces? How does it work with the push to open/close, vs. using this hinge with handles? I've probably ruined my $500 cabinet with these. None of them sit appropriately.1
GarbageZacharyThe pins/rivets holding these together fell apart immediately, destroying my new furniture. Poor quality control.1
MisalignedTriciaFirst, the screws are 1/2 the size of the pre drilled holes. Second, there should be a point at the end of the screw. Most importantly, on the hinges that came with my Lommarp cabinet were misaligned. One screw in the hinge was right up against the metal hinge unit, making it impossible to turn the screw After hours of trying to "make it work", I have scratched cabinet and stripped "screw" heads.1
Cannot center hingesMicheleI’ve tried many ways to center doors on unit and it will not go on correctly. Went on tube and other places and they are horrible1
Besta hingeMariaI love this king of hinges that you just have to push very convenient5
Good hinges, lots of time needed to adjust, had failures Anonymous reviewerI bought 5 sets of these hinges and you need to allocate a decent amount of time of you want to align everything. Each hinge came with a different alignment set in the screws. After hours, I was finally pleased with the alignment of the 5 cabinets side by side.
This was not even 3 years ago, but I've already had the soft close feature of some of these hinges fail, and you can see streaks of what looks like oil that oozed out of the hinge. These cabinets are very rarely opened, used for display purposes. Did not expect failures at this rate. 3
No magnet to hold the door closedSheilingThe push to open does t matter if there isn’t a magnet to hold the doors closed as well. Am I missing something here? 3
Esta hingesAndrewThese are worth the money. Soft close with push engage/push release mechanism included. 5
Hinge itself great, the pop open portion brokeLindsayThe hinges are easy to install and adjust if you follow the instructions, plus watch a couple of YouTube videos. My frustration is the small thin plastic front portion of the push-open spring-loaded door opener. Everything snapped into place easily, but after a couple of trial pushes after adjusting the door to be level, the spring action for the rod was violent enough that the tiny plastic portion broke and ejected with the door. I attempted Loctite super glue plastic to the plastic portion behind the steel, but even after setting an hour, that also popped off :-/ I shall continue to MacGyver this until I can get it to stay together.3
Don't be put off by reviewsKimberlyNot sure why there are so many terrible reviews. I had zero issues putting these on two cabinets. Adjusting after installation was easy.5
Impossible. Very hard to use. AnatThe screws don’t move. This is not easy to assemble. 1

Good product, assembly process - fair rating.Helenthe more pre-assembled on the hinges the better. The illustrations do not fully provide the complexity of hinges assembly for lay person. Thank you.4
Parts worked as expected, flawlessMichelePerfect purchase process, items were shipped quickly and order was perfect.5
Difficult to AdjustKatieI had bought the 3 Besta units around 2013 and the hinges were so much easier to install and adjust. These new hinges are slow close which is nice but the screws to adjust (especially the one for up/down) is so tight that it's impossible to do anything. Now the doors don't sit flush because of how tight those specific parts are. Hinges are oiled as well--which makes for a mess if you're trying to install a few. 1
Not easyAnonymousHard to install. Harder to adjust. I would not recommend it, but you have no other choice.2
