Clip-On Cam Adjustable Face Frame Mounting Plate, Nickel-Plated, Screw-On, 4mm

Clip-On Face Frame Mounting Plate For Precise Hinges

Clip-on cam adjustable face frame mounting plate defines this Salice America hinge base plate as a precise interface between cabinet face frames and compatible clip-on hinge arms, so hinge positioning follows the plate location for consistent overlay results on multiple doors. Constructed of die-cast steel with nickel plating to resist corrosion, the plate offers a stable platform that stands up to typical cabinet environments where metal hardware can face moisture and handling. The 4mm plate thickness targets overlay applications that call for that specific height, so hinge geometry stays predictable when laying out door reveals. Classified under hinge mounting plates, this part sits between the face frame and hinge, tying the assembly together at a known height. Identified by manufacturer part BAU3R49, it can be referenced directly when matching existing Salice America hinge layouts or planning new runs that follow the same hardware standard.

Key Mounting Plate Details For Cabinet Work

• Constructed of die-cast steel with nickel plating to resist corrosion, this face frame mounting plate maintains structural integrity and appearance in cabinet installations where hinges are operated frequently over time.
• Two cam plates provide -0.5 mm to +2.8 mm cam depth adjustment, allowing the hinge position to shift toward or away from the cabinet to fine-tune door-to-frame gaps after the primary mounting work is complete.
• The same two cam plates provide +/-2 mm cam height adjustment, so the hinge position can be moved up or down slightly, helping align door edges and reveals along the run without remounting the plate.
• Available in 1 mm to 4 mm thickness for overlay applications, the series of plates lets installers choose the build-up that matches their intended overlay geometry from the frame to the door face.
• This specific mounting plate uses a 4mm thickness for overlay applications, which sets a defined distance between the face frame and hinge arm, supporting repeatable layouts across multiple cabinet openings.

Screw-On Face Frame Plate Setup And Adjustment

As a screw-on design, this Salice America face frame mounting plate relies on screws to fasten directly to the cabinet face frame, allowing installers to locate the plate precisely before tightening to lock the position. Once mounted, the two cam plates provide -0.5 mm to +2.8 mm cam depth adjustment, so the hinge engagement depth can be tuned without moving the screws, streamlining onsite door fitting. The same cams also provide +/-2 mm cam height adjustment, which supports vertical fine-tuning when working down a bank of doors to keep top and bottom edges aligned. With its 4mm thickness aimed at overlay applications, the plate establishes a consistent stand-off, so the cam adjustments operate within a known range that suits that overlay choice.

Using The BAU3R49 Mounting Plate In Cabinet Runs

Face Frame Overlay Applications And Layout Control

This clip-on cam adjustable face frame mounting plate from Salice America serves hinge mounting needs on cabinets built with face frames, where the hinge base must reference the frame front instead of a frameless side panel. Because it is available in 1 mm to 4 mm thickness for overlay applications, the broader series supports different overlay layouts, and this particular BAU3R49 plate uses a 4mm thickness to match overlay designs that call for that build-up. That 4mm height fixes the hinge base position relative to the frame, which helps cabinet makers design door sizes and reveals around a known hardware offset. Constructed of die-cast steel with nickel plating to resist corrosion, the plate stands up to repeated hinge cycling and normal cabinet conditions, which benefits installations where doors are opened and closed frequently across kitchens or workspaces. Classified as a hinge mounting plate in the Hinges | Hinge Base Plates category, it fills the role of the structural link between the face frame and the hinge arm, controlling how the hinge loads transfer into the cabinet frame.

Cam Adjustments For Cleaner Reveals And Alignment

Two cam plates provide -0.5 mm to +2.8 mm cam depth adjustment, so once the screw-on plate is fixed to the face frame, the hinge position can be shifted in or out to refine how the door sits relative to the cabinet front. This cam depth range allows the installer to correct for small construction variations in face frame placement or door thickness without relocating screw holes, reducing rework when dialing in an even margin. The same two cam plates provide +/-2 mm cam height adjustment, which lets the hinge move slightly up or down while the plate itself stays locked, supporting fine vertical alignment along a row of doors. Paired with the 4mm plate thickness for overlay applications, these cam movements operate from a consistent reference height, which simplifies repeating the same adjustments cabinet to cabinet. Identifying the plate by manufacturer part BAU3R49 also streamlines future work, since using the same part helps maintain identical adjustment behavior across replacements or additional cabinets added to an existing installation.

Common Questions About This Salice Mounting Plate

Selecting This Mounting Plate For Overlay Work

The clip-on cam adjustable face frame mounting plate, 4mm, from Salice America combines a defined plate thickness for overlay applications with cam depth and height adjustment, so hinge positioning can be tuned around a consistent reference height. Die-cast steel construction with nickel plating to resist corrosion supports long-term service in cabinet environments where doors see steady use. Referencing manufacturer part BAU3R49 helps align this hinge mounting plate to projects or replacements that rely on the same Salice hardware standard. For face frame cabinet runs that specify a 4mm hinge base height with post-installation adjustability, this mounting plate provides the hardware geometry and fine-tuning range needed to keep doors tracking and closing as planned.
