Salice Series CU 2 Cam Soft-Close Silentia 1/2" Overlay Face-Frame Hinges Nickel, 106° Screw-On - CUP37D9

Salice Series CU Soft Close Hinge For Face Frames

Salice Series CU soft close hinge is a concealed cabinet hinge designed for 1/2 inch overlay face-frame doors, giving a clean look while controlling door motion. This hinge belongs to the Silentia Excentra line, so it uses an integrated decelerating mechanism in the hinge arm to slow the door. The hinge offers a 106 degree opening angle, allowing doors to swing wide enough for comfortable cabinet access in most standard layouts. An 11 mm (7/16 inch) cup depth is used across the line, so boring depth on the door stays consistent from one hinge position to the next. The hinge is made from nickel plated steel, providing a durable metal body with a neutral finish that fits typical cabinet hardware combinations. With its soft-close action and face-frame design, it suits both shop production runs and serious retrofit projects where a controlled close is required.

Key Salice Silentia Hinge Details For Pros

• The integrated soft close mechanism works directly on the hinge, so the door slows near the closed position and reduces slamming during everyday use.
• A clearly visible activation switch on the front of the unit allows the soft close function to be deactivated, so closing force can be tuned to door size or user preference.
• The 2 cam adjustment design gives additional adjustment points, allowing refined door alignment after mounting to help get consistent reveals along the face frame.
• The possible drilling distance on the door of 2.5 mm to 6.0 mm (3/32 inch to 1/4 inch) provides flexibility in boring location, which helps adapt the hinge to various door layouts and edge profiles.
• The 106 degree opening angle provides generous access into the cabinet while keeping the door travel controlled, which is useful for most kitchen and bath configurations.

Screw-On Face Frame Mounting And Cup Boring

This hinge uses a screw-on mounting method, so the hinge fastens directly to the face frame and door with screws for a secure mechanical connection. The screw-on style suits typical shop drilling patterns where hinges are set and then fastened without special press-in hardware. An 11 mm (7/16 inch) cup depth is specified for all hinges in this Silentia Excentra line, keeping drill setup straightforward when boring multiple doors. The allowed drilling distance of 2.5 mm to 6.0 mm (3/32 inch to 1/4 inch) from the door edge gives room to position the cup to match overlay requirements. With a design for 1/2 inch overlay face-frame applications, the hinge works in standard North American face-frame cabinet construction when that overlay is required.

Using Salice CUP37D9 Hinges In Cabinet Work

Where This CUP37D9 Hinge Is Typically Applied

This hinge is specified as a 1/2 inch overlay face-frame hinge, so it is suited to cabinets where the door overlays the face frame by that amount. In kitchen, bath, or built-in cabinetry using face frames, this overlay is common, and the hinge geometry supports that layout. Being part of the Salice Series CU Silentia Excentra group, the hinge fits applications where soft-close action is desired but may need to be adjusted for heavier or lighter doors. The 106 degree opening angle allows doors on base or wall cabinets to open widely without requiring an extreme swing, which helps when cabinets are set near walls or adjacent cabinets. Because the hinge is a concealed cabinet hinge, it keeps hardware hidden when the door is closed, which supports clean looking installations in residential or commercial millwork.

Why Its Adjustable Soft Close And 2 Cams Matter

The integrated soft close mechanism can be deactivated using the activation switch on the front of the unit, which lets installers respond if a particular door closes too slowly or needs a lighter closing feel. By using a 2 cam adjustment system, the hinge offers more adjustment options at the hinge, giving room to fine-tune door position after fastening. This can help dial in margins between doors and along the face frame without redrilling. The specified drilling distance range on the door of 2.5 mm to 6.0 mm (3/32 inch to 1/4 inch) adds another layer of control, allowing boring position to support the planned overlay while maintaining hinge performance. Nickel plated steel construction gives the hinge a familiar metal feel when adjusting cams and working with the activation switch, which supports repeatable adjustments during installation runs. With these combined details, the CUP37D9 hinge supports consistent alignment and soft-close behavior across multiple cabinet openings.
