[Shop-talk] Breakaway cabinet hinges?

[Dave Cavanaugh]

How about converting the shelves to pull out drawers?  Keep the same 
doors but attach the door to the bottom of the lower drawer.  This would 
involve considerably more expense and work, converting each shelf to a 
pull out drawer, but would vastly improve access.

We use 35mm European hinges. Anyone know of compatible hinges that would allow the doors to just pop off? The face frames are getting where they will need to be replaced. I mentioned just removing the doors but she said "That's a man's way of dealing with it......NO". Yes dear.
