Salice Series CU 3 Cam Soft-Close Silentia 1" Overlay Face-Frame Hinges Nickel, 106° Screw-On - CUP32D9R
Description
Salice Series CU Soft Close Hinge For Face Frames
Salice Series CU soft close hinge is a concealed cabinet hinge designed for face-frame applications where a 1 inch overlay is required. This hinge uses the Salice Silentia soft-closing system to control door movement, which helps cabinet doors close gently in everyday use. As a 106 degree opening hinge, it lets doors open to a wide, workable angle, giving easy access to cabinet interiors during installation and later adjustments. The hinge is built as a screw-on model, so it mounts to the cabinet using standard screw fastening, which supports straightforward hinge replacement on jobs using screw-fixed hardware. An 11 mm, or 7/16 inch, cup depth applies across this hinge line, so cup drilling setups can stay consistent across doors using the same series. The hinge is made from nickel plated steel, providing a hard metal body with a plated finish suited to normal cabinet environments. The integrated soft close mechanism can be deactivated using a visible activation switch on the front of the hinge, which lets installers tune closing strength on individual doors.
Key Salice Silentia Overlay Hinge Details
- The hinge belongs to the Salice Series CU Silentia line, so it provides the Silentia soft-closing action on face-frame cabinet doors where controlled, quiet closing is preferred in kitchens, baths, and built-in projects.
- This 3 cam adjustment hinge uses three cam points, giving the installer structured adjustment capability at the hinge, which supports fine-tuning door position relative to frames for consistent reveals across multiple doors.
- The hinge provides a 106 degree opening angle, allowing doors to swing open beyond a right angle, which improves access during cabinet loading and hinge adjustment without requiring the door to open excessively wide.
- An 11 mm, or 7/16 inch, cup depth is specified for all hinges in this line, so a single boring depth setup can serve the entire run of doors using Series CU hinges, streamlining drilling operations on site or in the shop.
- The integrated soft close mechanism can be deactivated by an activation switch clearly visible on the front of the unit, so closing force can be reduced on specific doors, such as smaller or lighter doors, while maintaining soft close elsewhere.
- The hinge is made of nickel plated steel, giving a steel substrate with nickel plating that supports use in typical cabinet interiors where a hard metal hinge with a plated finish is standard.
Face Frame Hinge Mounting And Cup Setup
This concealed cabinet hinge is built for face-frame cabinets with a 1 inch overlay, so the door edge will cover 1 inch of the cabinet frame when correctly positioned. The hinge mounts as a screw-on model, which means it fastens to the cabinet using screws through the hinge plates, allowing it to be secured to wood cabinet frames and doors that accept screw threads. Door preparation uses an 11 mm, or 7/16 inch, cup depth, so the hinge cup seats in a shallow bored hole set to that depth, helping the hinge sit flush in the door. The product supports a possible drilling distance on the door of 2.5 mm to 6.0 mm, or 3/32 inch to 1/4 inch, giving flexibility in boring distance from the door edge so door overlays and reveals can be set within that range.
How This Concealed Hinge Works In Use
Where This Salice 1 Inch Overlay Hinge Fits
This concealed cabinet hinge is intended for face-frame cabinets that use a 1 inch overlay, so it fits projects where doors are designed to overlap the face frame by that dimension. The 106 degree opening angle means doors can open past 90 degrees, which gives users room to access interior storage without the door edge crowding the opening. Because the hinge belongs to the Salice Series CU Silentia line, it serves installations where a controlled soft-closing action is part of the hardware specification, such as residential kitchens or commercial casework needing quieter door closure. The possible door drilling distance of 2.5 mm to 6.0 mm, or 3/32 inch to 1/4 inch, allows the boring location to be chosen within that range to suit the intended reveal and overlay geometry on face-frame jobs. Nickel plated steel construction places a plated steel hinge inside the cabinet, which aligns with standard concealed hinge expectations for interior cabinet hardware using metal bodies with a protective plated surface.
Adjustment And Soft-Close Control For Consistent Results
This 3 cam adjustment hinge uses three cams to adjust hinge settings, so installers can refine door alignment at the hinge to correct small shifts in door position relative to the frame. That cam-based adjustment capability helps maintain consistent gaps and overlays across a bank of cabinet doors when framing or door sizes vary slightly. The Silentia soft-closing mechanism is integrated into the hinge, providing a decelerating action that moderates the final closing of the door, which helps reduce door slamming when cabinets are used repeatedly through the day. The mechanism can be easily deactivated by an activation switch located on the front of the unit, so closing resistance can be reduced on doors where less soft-close strength is desired, such as narrow or lighter doors that benefit from a lighter closing force. Because the switch is clearly visible on the hinge front, adjustment of soft close behavior can be performed at the hinge without dismounting the door, supporting quick tuning after doors are hung. Together, the 3 cam adjustment and switch-controlled Silentia mechanism let installers set door position and closing behavior directly at the hinge, which supports efficient fine-tuning during punch-out and future service visits.
Common Questions About CUP32D9R Face Frame Hinges
What type of cabinet application suits this hinge?
This hinge is for face-frame cabinets using a 1 inch overlay, so it suits jobs where the door is planned to overlap the cabinet frame by that dimension on each hinged side.
