I need to swap out the hinges on some cabinets to concealed hinges.
The doors are rabbeted around the edge, and I didn’t see any european
style hinges for rabbeted doors at my local hardware store.
Is this because I have a crappy local hardware store or because they
don’t make concealed hinges for rabbeted doors?

Hello Dan,
I'd have to say you have a crappy local hardware store.
I have installed Euro style hinges on many rabbeted doors. They make a long, and a short version, and a thin and thick version. The long version enables the door mounted round part to extend beyond the rabbet. Just make sure that you have enough meat in the door to drill the recess for the round section. There is a version that has a very thin round section (about 1/2" thick) for use on 3/4" doors. If the material you are going to drill the recess in is any thinner than that, you will have to come up with an alternative.

*Dan I believe Blum has what you need. I was looking for some catalogues but by the time I get them I am sure You will have found some. Dumb question but do you have a cabinet supply shop near You? I'll check back if i find more info. Skip
*Blum does make a hinge -170 series for a 9.5 x 9.5 mm rabbet. Sorry but I don't have my conversion chart handy. Skip
*Thanks Guys... I'll look around.Dan
