Invisible Concealed Hinge
A concealed hinge, also known as a hidden hinge or European hinge, is a type of hinge that is not visible when a door or cabinet is closed. Unlike traditional hinges that are mounted on the outside and can be seen, concealed hinges are installed inside the cabinet or door frame, providing a clean and seamless appearance.
Key Features of Concealed Hinges:
Hidden Design: They are completely hidden when the door is closed, offering a sleek and modern look.
Adjustability: Many concealed hinges allow for fine adjustments in three directions (up/down, left/right, and in/out), making it easier to align doors perfectly.
Soft-Close Option: Some concealed hinges come with a built-in soft-close mechanism, which prevents doors from slamming shut.
Durability: They are designed to handle frequent use and are often more durable than traditional hinges.
Wide Opening Angles: Concealed hinges can allow doors to open at angles ranging from 90° to 165° or more, depending on the hinge type.
Common Uses:
Cabinetry: Widely used in kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, and other furniture for a clean, modern aesthetic.
Doors: Used in flush doors or frameless designs where the hinge should not be visible.
Specialty Furniture: Found in high-end furniture or minimalist designs.
Types of Concealed Hinges:
Full Overlay: Covers the cabinet frame completely.
Half Overlay: Two doors share the same cabinet frame, with each door covering half of the frame.
Inset: The door sits flush inside the cabinet frame.
Concealed hinges are popular in modern interior design due to their functionality and aesthetic appeal.
