Nickel Concealed Hinge for 1/2 Inch Overlay Doors with a Wide 120 Degree Swing

This Salice Series 200 Rapido hinge hangs 1/2 inch overlay doors on face-frame and frameless cabinets, with a self-close spring, a 120 degree opening, and an expanding dowel mount that locks the cup firmly into the door bore.

Key Features

• 120 degree opening angle swings the door wider than the standard 110 degree configuration, improving access to cabinet contents.
• Self-close spring pulls the door shut automatically over the last few degrees of travel.
• 1/2 inch overlay, half crank arm positions the door at a partial overlay, including pairs of doors meeting on a shared center partition.
• Expanding dowel mount anchors the cup in the door bore for a firm, secure connection without additional cup screws.
• Nickel finish on steel coordinates with other nickel hardware across the cabinet run.
• Height and side adjustment brings adjacent doors to an even reveal after installation.

More Swing, the Same Partial Overlay Geometry

The 120 degree opening angle is the distinguishing spec here. Where a standard 110 degree hinge gives everyday access, 120 degrees opens the door noticeably farther, which matters on deeper base cabinets and pantry-style boxes where reaching the back of the shelf is part of the daily routine. The half crank arm places the door at a 1/2 inch overlay, the geometry used on partial-overlay doors and on double-door cabinets where two doors share one center partition. The 35mm cup bores into the door, and the arm attaches to a Salice base plate mounted to the cabinet, ordered separately. That plate is Salice-specific: plates from other brands will not connect to this hinge.

Steel Construction with a Nickel Finish

The hinge body is steel with a nickel finish. In a nickel hardware scheme, the hinge finish ties the visible elements together when the door is open, which is the moment the hardware is most exposed. The expanding dowel mount reinforces the cup-to-door connection: the dowel expands in the bore rather than relying solely on cup screws, giving a stable anchor that holds up under the repeated pull of a self-close spring. Height adjustment of plus or minus 2mm and side adjustment of plus 4.5mm or minus 1.5mm let you square up doors after the plates are set.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet shops running partial-overlay frameless lines and contractors working face-frame kitchens both land on this hinge when the project calls for a wider swing than 110 degrees without stepping up to a specialty wide-angle product. The 120 degree opening suits deeper wall cabinets and appliance garages where a standard swing leaves access feeling tight. It works on either cabinet construction type, so a shop supplying mixed frameless and face-frame jobs can run one SKU across both. For a cushioned, damped close rather than a spring pull, the Silentia+ soft-close version of this series is the alternative to specify. For doors that cover the full cabinet side rather than a partial overlay, a full overlay hinge with a straight arm is the correct geometry.

Wider Access, Consistent Finish, One Hinge for Both Cabinet Types

Specify this hinge when the job calls for 1/2 inch overlay doors that open wider than standard, a nickel finish that ties into the rest of the hardware, and a single SKU that runs across both face-frame and frameless cabinets.
