Knape and Vogt SH Series hinge is a self-closing concealed scissors hinge designed for sink tip out trays in kitchen and bath cabinets. The hinge fits both traditional frame cabinets and frameless cabinets, so one part number covers common construction styles on a job. As a self-close hinge, it pulls the tray shut at the end of travel, which helps keep fronts tight and aligned without constant adjustment. Being concealed keeps the hardware out of sight when the tray is closed, which preserves the clean cabinet appearance while still delivering access to small-item storage behind the false front.
This SH-40 hinge is part of the Knape and Vogt sink tip out trays and accessories line, so it is built for that specific application rather than general-purpose use. That application focus gives installers a predictable opening action and stop angle that matches typical sink-front tray layouts, simplifying repeat installations across multiple units on the same project.
This self-closing concealed scissors hinge works with both framed and frameless cabinets, so installers can mount the SH-40 in typical sink-front locations regardless of the cabinet box style in the job. A 1mm minimum reveal is required at the top and bottom, which means the door or tray front must be spaced off the cabinet opening by at least that amount at both edges. That reveal gives the hinge clearance to operate through its motion without binding, supporting smoother opening and closing over repeated use. Because the hinge has an internal stop, the installer does not need to add separate limiting hardware to control the opening angle of the sink tip out tray.
The SH-40 self-closing concealed scissors hinge is specified for sink tip out trays within the kitchen and bath cabinet accessories category. That focus aligns the hinge geometry with the shallow tray and limited space behind a sink-front false panel, so the tray can tip forward while clearing bowls and hardware inside the sink base. Because it fits both traditional frame and frameless cabinets, the same SH-40 hinge model can be applied across mixed cabinet runs, such as framed kitchen bases and frameless bath vanities on a combined project. The required 1mm minimum reveal at the top and bottom means the front sits slightly off the face, giving enough clearance for the scissor arms to operate without scraping adjacent surfaces.
This hinge is described as a 40 degree tip-out scissor hinge, and that opening range works well for accessing smaller items in a tip out tray without swinging the front excessively into the room. With the internal stop built into the hinge body, the tray consistently stops at that angle, which keeps the motion uniform from cabinet to cabinet and helps avoid over-rotation against adjacent fronts or hardware. For installers working with Knape and Vogt sink tip out trays and accessories, keeping to the SH Series hinge maintains predictable clearances and relationships between the tray, the cabinet front, and the sink base interior. That compatibility of geometry and motion helps reduce layout adjustments and speeds repeat installations across multiple identical bases.
The self-closing feature on the SH-40 hinge pulls the tray shut at the end of its swing, which helps keep sink fronts seated against the cabinet face so lines stay consistent across the run. This reduces callbacks related to tray fronts drifting open or appearing slightly ajar over time. Because the hinge is concealed, the mechanism does not visually interrupt the finished cabinet when the tray is closed, which suits jobs where the trim details around the sink are meant to remain the visual focus.
The internal stop integrated into the SH-40 hinge body means the opening limit is controlled by the hinge itself, simplifying layout compared to using separate stop devices. That integrated stop helps maintain a consistent tip-out angle, which keeps items in the tray more predictable to reach and reduces the risk of the front impacting other components. The stated 1mm minimum reveal at the top and bottom offers a clear installation target during layout, so installers can set the front gap precisely to give the concealed scissors mechanism the operating clearance it needs. Using the Knape and Vogt SH Series hinge with its intended sink tip out trays and accessories helps keep hardware selection aligned, giving a consistent motion profile across all sink bases fitted with this SH-40 model.
The SH-40 is a self-closing concealed scissors hinge, so the mechanism stays hidden when the tray is shut while still pulling the front closed at the end of travel.
The SH-40 hinge is part of the sink tip out trays and accessories product class, so it is intended for use on sink-front tip out tray installations in kitchen and bath cabinets.
The SH-40 hinge fits both traditional frame cabinets and frameless cabinets, allowing the same hinge to be used across different cabinet box constructions.
The self-closing action on the SH-40 hinge pulls the tray front tightly shut, which helps maintain even reveals and reduces fronts that sit partially open along the sink run.
The SH-40 hinge has an internal stop that limits the opening angle, so the tray consistently tips out to a controlled position without needing separate stop components.
The SH-40 hinge requires a 1mm minimum reveal top and bottom so the concealed scissors mechanism has clearance to move, helping prevent binding during opening and closing.
The SH-40 self-closing concealed scissors hinge from Knape and Vogt is designed specifically for sink tip out trays within both framed and frameless cabinets. With its internal stop, self-close action, and 1mm minimum reveal requirement, it offers a defined motion profile that suits typical sink-front tray layouts. For projects using Knape and Vogt sink tip out trays and accessories, choosing the SH Series SH-40 hinge keeps the motion, clearances, and appearance consistent across multiple sink bases, supporting efficient, repeatable installations.
