Salice Self-Close Hinge For Institutional Doors

Salice self-close full overlay institutional hinge gives casework builders a semi-concealed solution for heavy-use environments, combining automatic closing with a recessed or external knuckle look where specified. Series M hinges conform with FIRA level 5 and ANSI Grade 1 requirements and meets ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 environmental certification, so the hinge is built for demanding service where tested performance and documented manufacturing standards matter. This CMR3A99 model is a full overlay institutional hinge in nickel, providing a work-ready option when a 35 mm cup and dowel mounting are already part of the door drilling pattern. The semi-concealed design keeps the cup in the door while the knuckle remains accessible at the edge, supporting layouts where durability and visual access to the hinge joint are both important.

Key Salice Series M Hinge Working Advantages

• Series M hinges conform with FIRA level 5 and ANSI Grade 1 requirements, so they support institutional projects where tested performance levels guide hardware selection.
• The hinge meets ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 environmental certification, tying installation to a production process built around documented quality and environmental management systems.
• Nickel plated for corrosion resistance, the hinge maintains its function and finish in typical cabinet environments where moisture and handling can attack unplated surfaces.
• Independent, automatic three dimensional adjustment lets installers fine-tune door position without removing the hinge, which speeds alignment and reduces rework on fitted casework.
• Variable Overlay options - Full Overlay Recessed Knuckle, Full Overlay External Knuckle, Half Overlay Recessed Knuckle, and Inset Recessed Knuckle - give designers flexibility to match door coverage and knuckle style to the specific cabinet layout.

Mounting And Adjustment Details For Installers

This Salice Series M hinge uses a hinge cup boring pattern of 45 mm x 9.5 mm, so door drilling operations can be set up around a consistent pattern that repeats cleanly across runs. The hinge cup diameter of 35 mm matches common European-style boring equipment, simplifying integration into established shop workflows. A hinge cup depth of 12 mm keeps the bore relatively shallow, which helps when working with standard 19 mm thick doors where over-boring could weaken the panel. Independent, automatic three dimensional adjustment is built into the hinge, allowing precise tuning in side, height, and depth without disassembly, which supports tight reveals and consistent gaps across multiple doors.

Where This CMR3A99 Hinge Fits In Cabinet Work

Door Thickness, Opening Angle, And Overlay Use

This Salice self-close full overlay institutional hinge provides a 270 degree opening for 19 mm thick doors, which lets doors swing back along the case side so openings remain clear in institutional cabinets. For doors up to 24 mm, the hinge delivers a 180 degree opening, giving generous access while accounting for the thicker material, which is useful when using heavier or layered door constructions. Variable Overlay settings - Full Overlay Recessed Knuckle, Full Overlay External Knuckle, Half Overlay Recessed Knuckle, and Inset Recessed Knuckle - allow the same hinge line to address different face conditions, so shops can support multiple door overlays while maintaining consistent hinge geometry. Compatible with all Salice Series 200 hinge mounting plates: both clip-on and slide-on, the hinge ties into existing Salice plate inventories, which helps standardize bases while changing only hinge types as needed.

Workflow, Certification, And Adjustment In Use

Series M hinges conform with FIRA level 5 and ANSI Grade 1 requirements, so institutional buyers can align hardware selection with recognized performance grades when specifying cabinets for higher-traffic environments. Meeting ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 environmental certification connects the hinge to a manufacturing system focused on quality control and environmental processes, which matters on projects that reference these standards in their documentation. Nickel plating for corrosion resistance protects the working parts during daily use, helping the hinge maintain smooth action where cleaning, touch, and indoor humidity are present. Independent, automatic three dimensional adjustment supports fast field tuning during installation and later door adjustments, because installers can correct reveals and flush conditions directly at the hinge. The hinge carries a lifetime warranty, giving professional shops a defined long-term backing that supports institutional and commercial cabinetry commitments.
