Thick Door Hinge For Flush Inset Doors on Face-Frame and Frameless Cabinets

This Salice Series 200 hinge is engineered for inset doors built from thick stock, where a standard concealed hinge cannot seat properly and the door must sit flush inside the cabinet opening. It runs on both face-frame and frameless cabinets with a screw-on mount and a self-close spring.

Key Features

• Thick door cup geometry accommodates doors beyond the standard 16 to 22mm range where a standard cup would not seat correctly.
• Inset arm configuration positions the door flush inside the cabinet opening with an even reveal on all sides.
• Self-close spring pulls the door shut automatically over the last few degrees of travel.
• 94 degree opening angle is the correct swing for a thick door, giving it full clearance without binding on the cabinet face.
• Screw-on mounting fastens directly to the cabinet side or stile for a solid mechanical connection.
• Works on face-frame and frameless cabinets, covering both construction types with one hinge.

Built Around the Demands of Thick Inset Work

Hanging an inset door from thick stock puts two constraints on the hinge at once: the cup must be deep enough to seat in the door without perforating the face, and the arm geometry must position the door flush inside the opening rather than over it. This hinge addresses both. The 35mm cup is paired with thick-door arm geometry, so the hinge seats correctly and the door clears the cabinet front as it swings through its 94 degree arc. That restricted opening angle is the correct engineering for a thick door, not a shortcoming: it prevents the door from clocking into the cabinet face on the return swing. A separate Salice base plate, ordered to match your cabinet construction, is required to complete the installation.

Steel Construction in a Nickel Finish

The hinge is plated steel in a nickel finish. Screw-on mounting means the arm anchors to the base plate with screws rather than a clip or snap mechanism, which suits shops and contractors who prefer a locked-down connection over a tool-free one. Post-install adjustment runs to plus or minus 2mm in height and plus 4.5mm or minus 1.5mm side-to-side, enough to bring an inset door to an even reveal after the cabinet is set.

Where This Hinge Belongs

Reach for this hinge when a project calls for thick doors fitted flush inside the opening on either frameless or face-frame boxes. It suits furniture builders and cabinet shops working with heavier solid wood or veneered panels that exceed the standard door thickness window, and designers specifying an inset look on traditional face-frame cabinetry. The self-close spring is the right choice where a clean automatic close matters but a cushioned, damped finish is not required. For doors in the standard 16 to 22mm thickness range, a standard concealed inset hinge is the correct pick instead.

Common Questions

The Right Fit for Thick Inset Doors

When the door is thick, the look is flush, and the cabinet is face-frame or frameless, this Salice hinge covers all three constraints in one part.
