For various reasons, I have shortened a large cabinet door by a couple of cm. This included cutting off one of the two hinge mounting points.
The door is rarely used but should be able to open smoothly. I have no desire to purchase a router just to recess the standard hinge again.
Is there a hinge that can be combined with standard Ikea/blum hinges? The displacement needs to be more or less in the same place so the door doesn't become "skewed" when opening.
Have looked at the ones below? Could it be an idea?

You can simply drill new holes in a new location. There are drilling templates including drill bits available for purchase at a low cost on, for example, Amazon.

It doesn't make the same movement as the original, but it will probably work. Otherwise, you can buy a 35mm Forstner bit for under 100:-
Felt so stupid now, was completely sure you had to mill! What is the name of the drill you guys are referring to? Quality feels irrelevant, just making a countersink in a kitchen cabinet door.
Felt pretty stupid now, was absolutely sure you had to mill! What do you call the type of drill you're referring to? Quality feels irrelevant as I'm just making a countersink in a kitchen cabinet door, you know.
