The "Old Style" Blum Compact 33:

• You can use this new model hinge to replace your "old" style Blum Compact 33 hinge. The old style and the new style are functionally the same even though they look like different hinges (please trust us on this one).
• The only difference is in the old style had its screw holes located closer to the pivot point of the hinge,
• When replacing the Old Style with the New Style, you will have to re-drill the small wood screw holes. The new screw hole location will not interfere with the old screw hole location.
