Salice 200 Series Free Swinging Full Overlay Face-Frame;Frameless Hinges Nickel, 165° Dowel - C2REA99

Salice Series 200 165 Degree Hinge Purpose

Salice Series 200 165 degree hinge is a free swinging concealed hinge system developed for projects that require hidden hardware on cabinet doors, so doors operate cleanly while keeping the hinge out of sight on both residential and commercial cabinets. The hinge is designed for full overlay applications on face-frame and frameless cabinets, which lets the door cover the cabinet front for a cleaner look and consistent reveals across a run. As part of the Salice Series 200 family, this hinge works within an integrated system, so one hinge series can cover multiple cabinet layouts and simplify hardware choices across a project. Being a long arm European standard hinge, it supports modern cabinet construction where adjustability and repeatability matter for maintaining alignment over multiple doors.

Key Salice Hinge Details That Support Work

• The hinge provides a 165 degree opening angle, which gives wide access into the cabinet interior and helps reduce door interference in corner or deep-cabinet applications.
• The hinge is all steel and nickel plated for corrosion resistance, which supports long-term performance in typical kitchen or shop environments where moisture and handling can affect exposed hardware.
• The hinge is permanently self lubricating with environmentally safe lubricants, which keeps door motion smooth over time without periodic lubricant application during normal cabinet use.
• Series 200 hinges are designed to work with all Salice mounting plates, which allows one hinge family to be paired with different plates for face-frame or frameless layouts while keeping the same hinge mechanics.
• Series 200 hinges are compatible with Smove soft-close devices, which lets you add controlled closing action at the cabinet design stage or during later upgrades while retaining the same hinge body.

Mounting And Adjustment Details For Installers

The hinge cup has a depth of only 11 mm, which helps it fit many cabinet door profiles where deeper cups would break through thinner sections or raised-panel details. A hinge cup edge drilling distance of 3 mm to 6 mm gives flexibility in boring location, so you can match door overlays and stile widths across different door designs using the same hinge. The patented parallel side-to-side adjustment range of plus 4.5 mm to minus 1.5 mm, accessed via the hinge arm screw, allows precise horizontal door alignment after installation, reducing rework when truing reveals or compensating for small drilling variances.

Using This Free Swinging Hinge In Real Projects

Where This Concealed Hinge Performs Best

This hinge is designed for use in both residential and commercial cabinets, so it can serve in kitchens, office casework, or similar cabinet installations that call for concealed hardware. As a free swinging hinge in the Salice Series 200 system, it suits applications where doors are intended to move without integrated soft close in the hinge body, leaving that function to compatible Smove soft-close devices when desired. The full overlay design for face-frame and frameless cabinets lets the same hinge model support different box constructions while still delivering the required overlay coverage. Because the product is a concealed cabinet hinge, it supports clean exterior lines, helping projects where visible hardware would conflict with the design intent.

Why These Hinge Details Support Consistent Results

The 165 degree opening angle allows doors to swing well past typical openings, which can reduce interference when accessing wide cabinet interiors or when installing pullouts that benefit from a larger door swing. The 11 mm cup depth and 3 mm to 6 mm cup edge drilling distance work together so door boring patterns can be standardized, simplifying door production while still giving overlay flexibility. The patented parallel side-to-side adjustment of plus 4.5 mm to minus 1.5 mm via the hinge arm screw provides fine tuning after doors are hung, helping align reveals across a multi-door run without redrilling. Because the hinge is all steel and nickel plated for corrosion resistance, it stands up to typical cabinet environments where humidity and handling occur, supporting long service life. Series 200 hinges exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 standards and meet ISO9001 and ISO14001 environmental certifications, which demonstrates that the hinge design and manufacturing follow recognized performance and environmental management criteria.
