Salice 200 Series Rapido Self-Close Full Overlay Face-Frame;Frameless Hinges Nickel, 120° Expanding Dowel - C279A99

Salice 200 Series Rapido Hinge For Cabinets

Salice 200 Series Rapido hinge is a concealed cabinet hinge designed as part of an integrated system for projects that require concealed hinges, so it suits jobs where hardware must stay out of sight but work reliably in daily use. This self-closing full overlay hinge is specified for both residential and commercial cabinets, allowing the same hinge line to be used across mixed projects and simplifying hardware standards. The hinge belongs to the Salice Series 200 family, so it works with all Salice mounting plates and fits into existing Series 200 layouts on new or repeat work. A 120 degree opening angle gives doors wide access while keeping movement controlled for typical cabinet applications. The all steel hinge construction is nickel plated for corrosion resistance, supporting performance in normal cabinet environments where moisture and handling are common. Permanently self lubricating action uses environmentally safe lubricants, so the hinge delivers smooth movement over its lifetime without additional lubrication steps.

Key Salice Hinge Details That Support Work

• The hinge is part of Salice Series 200, so it integrates with all Salice mounting plates and helps standardize drilling patterns and hardware selection across cabinet runs.
• A full overlay design supports cabinet layouts where the door covers the face-frame or frameless side fully, giving a consistent reveal line on residential and commercial jobs.
• The 120 degree opening angle lets doors swing wide for access while keeping the motion within a controlled arc suited to typical cabinet interiors and adjacent doors.
• An all steel hinge body with nickel plating provides corrosion resistance, supporting long-term function in kitchen, bath, and general cabinet environments with regular moisture exposure.
• Permanently self lubricating operation with environmentally safe lubricants maintains smooth movement over time, reducing hinge-related service work once cabinets are in use.
• A lifetime warranty on these hinges reflects their intended long-term cabinet service, which supports confidence when specifying them across larger projects.

Installation And Adjustment Details For This Hinge

The hinge cup depth is specified at only 11 mm, so it seats in a relatively shallow bored hole and works with most cabinet door profiles that allow that depth, helping avoid breakthrough on thinner doors. A hinge cup edge drilling distance of 3 mm to 6 mm gives flexibility in boring location, which supports different overlays and door designs while staying inside the Series 200 system. Patented parallel side-to-side adjustment of plus 4.5 mm to minus 1.5 mm is provided via the hinge arm screw, so lateral door alignment is handled on the hinge without shifting the plate. This parallel movement pattern helps keep the door face aligned while correcting gaps along the run. The hinge is specified for both face-frame and frameless cabinets, so one model can be applied across mixed carcass styles where appropriate Series 200 mounting plates are used.

Using This Salice 200 Series Hinge In Practice

Where This C279A99 Rapido Hinge Performs Best

This C279A99 Rapido hinge is designed expressly for concealed installations in cabinets, so it suits projects where visible hardware would conflict with the design brief. Its role within Salice Series 200 means it slots into standard European concealed hinge layouts, supporting new builds and repeatable casework. Use in both residential and commercial cabinets is specified, so the same hinge can serve kitchen lines, bath vanities, office runs, or storage cabinets that share overlay requirements. The 120 degree opening angle helps doors clear typical interior hardware and contents while keeping the swing limited enough for tight banks of cabinets, reducing conflicts between adjacent doors. A shallow 11 mm cup depth works with a range of door thicknesses where that bore depth is acceptable, helping maintain structural material behind the cup. Nickel plated steel construction supports corrosion resistance in everyday cabinet areas where humidity and cleaning can be frequent.

How Series 200 Features Support Consistent Results

Being part of the Salice Series 200 system, this hinge works with all Salice mounting plates, so layouts remain consistent from job to job and hinge selection stays focused on one family. Compatibility with Smove soft-close devices is specified, so the same hinge can be used on jobs that require soft-close action by pairing it with the appropriate device, simplifying hardware planning. Patented parallel side-to-side adjustment of plus 4.5 mm to minus 1.5 mm via the hinge arm screw provides controlled lateral door movement, allowing fine-tuning of reveals without disturbing the mounting plate location. This adjustment pattern supports cleaner lines across banks of doors, reducing rework when gaps need small corrections. The hinge exceeds ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 standards, tying performance to a recognized benchmark for cabinet hardware, which supports confidence in its durability under regular use. Meeting ISO9001 and ISO14001 environmental certifications links the hinge to documented manufacturing and environmental management systems, which can support specification requirements on commercial projects.
