Please can someone look at the following and tell me if these are the same product, as one appears to be considerably cheaper:

Seems like a no brainer if I need 14 of these things...never thought I'd be spending near £100 at Screwfix on hinges!

just remeber that screwfix is offering 2x i.e. a pair and generally you will be paying for convenience at screwfix. But yes they look the same.

This is true of course, but still...less than half the price per hinge, and then with delivery it's still then half the price...seems a high price to pay for convenience if they are identical!

Just realised I think the cheaper ones don't have a mounting plate, so would need to add that on, now a little over half the price with delivery...

I've used a lot of GTV brand soft close Euro hinges and found them to be good. They're £15 for 10 currently on Amazon. The Blum hinges are outrageously priced.
