This Knape and Vogt SH Series scissor hinge opens the false drawer front below a sink so a shallow tip-out tray can swing forward for access, then pulls it closed automatically when released.
The cabinet run below a sink almost always includes a false drawer front with nothing behind it. A tip-out tray mounted on these hinges converts that wasted face into a shallow pocket for sponges, scrub brushes, and soap bars. The 40-degree opening angle brings the tray face far enough forward that small items are easy to reach and replace. Because the hinge is self-closing, the front returns to flush when the tray is pushed back, so the sink area keeps a clean, finished look without any extra effort.
The hinge body is plastic, which makes it a practical fit for the moisture-prone environment directly below a sink where metal hardware can be prone to surface wear. The Nickel finish coordinates with typical sink faucet and drain hardware. Each hinge runs 2-7/8 inches long, 1-7/8 inches deep, and 3-13/16 inches tall, proportions suited to the shallow drawer fronts common in sink base cabinets. The pair format means the set ships together, sized and matched for left and right mounting on a single tray.
This is the hinge for a kitchen sink base where the false front is already in place and the goal is to add functional storage without a full cabinet retrofit. It also works in a bathroom vanity run where a narrow false front covers otherwise unused depth. Cabinet shops building new sink bases and contractors retrofitting existing kitchens both reach for this part when a tip-out tray is on the plan. The self-close feature makes it the better call in high-use kitchens where a manual-release hinge would be left open more often than not.
No. The hinge pair is sold on its own. Tip-out trays are a separate purchase and are available in several widths to match common sink base openings.
The tab stop holds the tray open at the full 40-degree position so it stays forward while you reach in, rather than closing against your hand.
Yes. A standard tip-out tray uses one hinge on each side of the false front, so a single pair covers the install.
Plastic is a practical material choice for this location. It does not corrode from incidental moisture exposure the way bare metal can, which is why it is commonly specified for sink-base tip-out hardware.
Fit these hinges to turn a sink base false front into a self-closing tip-out tray, adding accessible storage without touching the cabinet box.
