Nickel Self-Close Concealed Hinge for Flush Inset Doors

The Salice 200 Series Rapido hinge hangs inset doors that sit flush inside the cabinet opening, with a self-closing spring and expanding dowel mounting, on both face-frame and frameless cabinets.

Key Features

• Self-close spring pulls the door shut over the last few degrees of travel automatically.
• Inset geometry with full crank arm positions the door flush inside the opening with an even reveal on all sides.
• 110 degree opening angle delivers standard everyday cabinet access.
• Expanding dowel mounting anchors the base plate firmly to the cabinet side without screw spin-out.
• Height and side adjustment lets you dial in an even reveal after the cabinet is set.
• Nickel finish on steel coordinates with brushed metal hardware across the installation.

The Right Geometry for Flush Inset Doors

An inset door sits inside the cabinet opening rather than covering it, defined by a tight, consistent gap on every edge. That precise fit is what this hinge is built for. The full crank arm carries the door into the inset position, and the 35mm cup bores into the back of the door while the arm connects to a Salice base plate mounted to the cabinet. The base plate is sold separately and should be matched to a Salice plate for this series. The Rapido toolless engagement clips the arm to the plate without a screwdriver, keeping the install moving once the plates are set. The 45mm boring pattern aligns with standard cabinet boring, which also makes this hinge a practical replacement choice when the cup holes are already in the door.

Steel Construction, Nickel Finish, and Adjustment That Holds

The hinge body is steel with a nickel finish, a tone that pairs naturally with stainless pulls, brushed metal knobs, or satin hardware throughout the space. Inset work relies on tight tolerances, and the built-in height and side adjustment gives the installer control over the reveal after hanging. Side adjustment runs plus 4.5mm to minus 1.5mm, and height adjusts plus or minus 2mm, enough to square up a door that has settled or correct a gap that came in slightly off. The self-close spring draws the door shut cleanly, which matters on inset doors where a door left ajar breaks the flush face the design depends on.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet shops fitting premium frameless or face-frame boxes with inset fronts, furniture makers building flush-face pieces, and contractors on renovation jobs where existing inset doors need a matching replacement all find this hinge useful. It works on standard doors in the 16 to 22mm range. For doors over 22mm, a thick-door hinge is the right call. This hinge does not have a built-in damper, so if the project specifies a cushioned, quiet close rather than a spring pull, the Silentia+ soft-close version of this series is the one to quote instead.

Common Questions

Flush Inset Doors That Close on Their Own

Specify this hinge when the job calls for inset doors in a nickel finish that close automatically and stay square, on frameless or face-frame cabinets that demand a clean, flush face.
