Nickel Self-Close Hinge for Wide-Swing Partial Overlay Doors

This Salice Series 200 concealed hinge is built for 1/2 inch overlay doors on face-frame or frameless cabinets, with a 165 degree opening arc and a self-close spring that draws the door shut automatically.

Key Features

• 165 degree wide-angle opening sweeps the door almost flat with the cabinet side for unobstructed interior access.
• Self-close spring pulls the door shut over the last few degrees of travel without a separate catch.
• 1/2 inch overlay, half-crank arm positions the door correctly for partial-overlay applications, including two doors sharing a center partition.
• Screw-on mounting fastens securely to the cabinet using standard wood screws, no system holes required.
• Nickel finish on steel blends with chrome and brushed-metal hardware in residential and light commercial work.
• Side and height adjustment lets you square doors to an even reveal after the cabinet is set.

Where the Wide Swing Makes the Difference

A 165 degree opening is the right choice when cabinet placement, appliance proximity, or open-plan layouts call for a door that clears the way almost entirely. At that arc the door swings to within a few degrees of parallel with the cabinet side, so nothing blocks access to the interior. This is the geometry to specify for corner cabinets where a standard 110 degree door would still obstruct the adjacent run, for accessible-design projects requiring maximum clearance, or anywhere a tall and heavily loaded cabinet needs the door fully out of the way while the user works inside.

The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door at the standard depth, and the arm connects to a Salice base plate mounted to the cabinet. That plate is a separate purchase; use Salice plates matched to this series, since plates are brand-specific and will not interchange with other manufacturers.

Steel Build in a Finish That Works Across Hardware Families

The hinge body is steel with a nickel finish. Nickel reads as a neutral mid-tone that coordinates with chrome faucets and pulls, brushed stainless appliances, and satin bar hardware without requiring an exact match. In a cabinet shop running mixed finish specifications across a job, this finish travels well. The 45mm boring pattern aligns with the standard pattern used across most of the cabinet industry, which simplifies replacement work and integrates cleanly into production lines.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet shops building face-frame kitchens with a wide-swing specification will find this hinge moves efficiently through a run: screw-on mounting goes to any cabinet regardless of whether 5mm system holes were bored, and the adjustment range corrects minor door placement after hanging. It also suits remodelers replacing hinges in existing face-frame boxes where preserving a partial-overlay door position is the job. For frameless work, the same hinge mounts to a Salice frameless plate and delivers the same 165 degree opening. Standard doors in the 16 to 22mm thickness range are the right fit here.

This is a self-close hinge, not a soft-close hinge. The spring pulls the door shut, which is the right behavior for utility and pantry cabinets where automatic closing matters and a cushioned close is not the priority. For a damped, quiet close on the same wide-angle swing, the Silentia+ soft-close version of the Series 200 is the correct upgrade.
