Description
Salice 200 Series Rapido Hinge For Cabinets
Salice 200 Series Rapido hinge is a concealed cabinet hinge designed for use in both residential and commercial cabinets, so one hinge family can be specified across different projects and cabinet lines. This hinge provides a 110 degree opening, allowing wide door swing that helps with access to cabinet interiors during everyday use and installation adjustments. The all steel hinge is nickel plated for corrosion resistance, which helps the hinge perform in typical kitchen and bath environments where moisture and cleaning chemicals are present. The hinge is permanently self lubricating utilizing environmentally safe lubricants, so the moving parts are designed to operate smoothly over time without separate lubrication steps during cabinet servicing. Series 200 hinges have a cup depth of only 11 mm, making the hinge compatible with most cabinet door profiles that require a shallow cup. The hinge also provides a hinge cup edge drilling distance of 3 mm to 6 mm, giving layout flexibility when boring door cups.
Key Salice Inset Hinge Details For Projects
- Series 200 hinges exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 standards, so they are tested to recognized performance levels that matter on multi-unit residential or commercial jobs where hinge durability is specified.
- The hinges meet ISO9001 and ISO14001 environmental certifications, which shows they are manufactured under documented quality and environmental management systems that support consistent production runs.
- Series 200 hinges are available in self-closing and free swinging versions, giving flexibility to match the desired door action when selecting hardware for different cabinet runs within the same facility.
- Series 200 hinges are compatible with Smove soft-close door devices, allowing a soft-close function to be added through matching components when a project calls for controlled door closing.
- The patented parallel side-to-side adjustment of plus 4.5 mm to minus 1.5 mm via the hinge arm screw lets the installer shift the door horizontally after mounting, which speeds alignment and reduces door racking and reveals issues.
Rapido Hinge Mounting And Adjustment Details
The Rapido cam lock dowel fastening option uses expanding dowels operated by a cam, which lets the hinge cup secure to the door without traditional screw fastening into the cup holes. This fastening design can reduce installation time on production lines where cup holes are properly machined. The hinge cup edge drilling distance range of 3 mm to 6 mm supports different boring setups, so existing drilling patterns within that range can be used on various door styles. The patented parallel side-to-side adjustment of plus 4.5 mm to minus 1.5 mm via the hinge arm screw helps fine-tune the door gap without re-boring or moving the mounting plates, which is useful when aligning multiple doors on long cabinet runs.
Using This C276P99 Hinge In Cabinet Work
Where This Salice 110 Degree Hinge Fits Best
Series 200 hinges are designed for use in both residential and commercial cabinets, so they can be applied in kitchens, baths, office casework, or similar installations that share common construction practices. The 110 degree opening works well on typical cabinet configurations where a wide swing is needed but extreme opening angles are not required, supporting comfortable access to shelves and interior hardware. The cup depth of only 11 mm allows the hinge to be used on many cabinet door profiles that cannot accept deeper cup drilling, which helps when working with thinner or profiled doors. The hinge cup edge drilling distance of 3 mm to 6 mm also supports a range of boring patterns, letting shops standardize on this hinge across different door programs that stay within that distance window.
How Salice Details Support Repeatable Alignment
The patented parallel side-to-side adjustment of plus 4.5 mm to minus 1.5 mm via the hinge arm screw provides a controlled horizontal movement of the mounted door, which is important for setting even reveals and keeping doors visually aligned across a bank of cabinets. This adjustment range lets installers compensate for small variations in cabinet construction, door width, or drilling tolerances without reworking components, which saves time during final installation or punch list visits. The all steel hinge body contributes to a solid feel at the pivot points, while the nickel plated finish supports corrosion resistance so the adjustment function is retained even in typical kitchen and bath humidity. The permanently self lubricating design, utilizing environmentally safe lubricants, supports smooth movement over the life of the hinge, reducing the chance of binding that could affect alignment settings after the cabinets are in service.
