Salice 200 Series Rapido Hinge For Cabinets

Salice 200 Series Rapido hinge is a concealed cabinet hinge from the Salice America 200 Series, built for both residential and commercial cabinets so one hinge style can serve across mixed projects. This hinge is part of the European concealed long arm hinge family and the concealed cabinet hinges class, so the hardware stays out of sight while doors operate cleanly on face-frame or frameless cabinets where a hidden hinge look is required. The hinge provides a 110 degree opening angle, which lets doors open wide enough for interior access without requiring an extreme swing that interferes with adjacent cabinets. The hinge is a self-close version, so the mechanism pulls the door shut at the end of travel to hold doors closed without relying only on magnetic catches or latches.

Key Salice Hinge Details That Support Cabinet Work

• The hinge is all steel and nickel plated for corrosion resistance, which supports long-term performance in typical kitchen or commercial environments where moisture and handling can otherwise mark unprotected steel.
• The self lubricating design uses environmentally safe lubricants, so the moving parts remain smooth over time without separate lubrication steps, reducing follow-up service on frequently used cabinet doors.
• The hinge carries a lifetime warranty, giving installers and shop owners a durable choice for projects where callbacks can be costly over the life of the cabinet installation.
• The Series 200 hinges exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 standards, so the hinge meets a recognized performance level suited to demanding residential or commercial applications that see repeated door cycles.
• Series 200 hinges meet ISO9001 and ISO14001 environmental certifications, so the product is manufactured within defined quality and environmental management systems that matter on specified or audited projects.

Mounting, Cup Details, And Overlay Application

The hinge is identified as a 1/2 inch overlay face-frame;frameless hinge, so it is suited to cabinet layouts that call for roughly a half overlay on face-frame or frameless constructions using the Salice 200 Series geometry. The hinge offers a 110 degree opening angle, which balances access and door clearance on runs where cabinets sit close together or near walls. The hinge cup depth is only 11 mm, allowing use on many cabinet door profiles where deeper cups might conflict with thinner panels or routed designs. The hinge cup edge drilling distance range of 3 mm to 6 mm provides flexibility during door boring so shops can keep existing boring patterns that fall within this range.

Using This Salice 200 Series Hinge In Practice

Where This C276D99 Salice Hinge Works Best

This hinge is specified as a 1/2 inch overlay face-frame;frameless hinge, so it fits cabinet layouts that use an approximate half overlay design within the Salice 200 Series system, making it suitable for many kitchen and commercial casework programs. The hinge sits in the European concealed long arm hinge category and the concealed cabinet hinges class, so it supports clean exterior lines on face-frame or frameless cabinets where exposed hinges are not desired. The all steel, nickel plated construction supports use in residential kitchens, baths, and commercial millwork where resistance to corrosion and handling marks helps the hinge stay presentable. Because Series 200 hinges are designed for both residential and commercial cabinets, shops can standardize on this hinge style when building for mixed-use projects that share the same door style and boring patterns.

Adjustment, Opening Angle, And Workflow Benefits

The 200 Series hinge line provides patented parallel side-to-side adjustment of plus 4.5 mm to minus 1.5 mm via the hinge arm screw, so installers can fine-tune door gaps horizontally while keeping the door aligned parallel to the cabinet front, reducing time spent rehanging doors. The 110 degree opening angle creates predictable door travel that is easy to plan around corners and appliance panels, helping layout decisions on jobs with tight clearances. The hinge cup depth of only 11 mm works with many common door thicknesses and profiles, so door production can maintain existing construction while still adopting this hinge. The hinge cup edge drilling distance range of 3 mm to 6 mm offers tolerance for boring equipment and templates, which helps maintain consistent reveals across multiple doors in production or on-site adjustments.
