Salice Series CU 3 Cam Soft-Close Silentia 1" Overlay Face-Frame Hinges Nickel, 106° Dowel - CUR32D9R

Salice Series CU Silentia Hinge For Face Frames

Salice Series CU Silentia hinge gives a 1 inch overlay face-frame solution with concealed hardware, so doors cover the frame cleanly while keeping the hinge hidden for a finished cabinet look. This hinge belongs to the Salice Series CU line, which standardizes geometry across the range so doors in the same project share the same motion profile. The hinge is classified as a concealed cabinet hinge, so it integrates into modern cabinetry where accessible hardware is not desired. The integrated Silentia soft-close function controls the final part of the closing cycle, reducing door impact on the frame and supporting quieter cabinet operation in kitchens, baths, or shop-built casework. Because this hinge is identified by manufacturer part CUR32D9R, it can be specified accurately on drawings or cut lists, helping installers match replacements or order consistent hardware across multiple openings.

Soft-Close Hinge Details That Support Daily Use

• The integrated soft close mechanism slows door travel at the end of the swing, so the door settles against the face frame more gently and reduces stress on the cabinet over repeated cycles.
• The soft close mechanism can be deactivated using the activation switch on the front of the unit, giving installers a way to tune closing strength on individual doors where lighter or heavier panels behave differently.
• A 106 degree opening angle lets the door swing past a standard right angle, giving better access to the interior of the cabinet while keeping the door clear of adjacent surfaces in many layouts.
• An 11 mm, or 7/16 inch, cup depth is consistent across all hinges in this line, so door drilling setups stay the same from door to door, improving drilling repeatability on larger cabinet runs.
• The possible drilling distance on the door ranges from 2.5 mm to 6.0 mm, or 3/32 inch to 1/4 inch, allowing flexibility in boring position so fabricators can balance overlay, edge strength, and reveal.
• Nickel plated steel construction provides a metal finish compatible with many interior hardware schemes, while the steel base supports a robust hinge body for frequent opening and closing.

Face-Frame Mount Hinge Setup And Adjustment

This Salice 1 inch overlay hinge is designed specifically for face-frame cabinets, so it matches builds where a front frame defines the cabinet opening instead of full-overlay frameless construction. The hinge provides 3 cam adjustment, which allows fine-tuning of the door position after mounting, helping align reveals when frames or doors vary slightly. The decelerating mechanism sits directly on the hinge, keeping both the pivot and soft-close control in a single unit so adjustment and motion originate at the same point. An activation switch on the front of the hinge controls the soft-close mechanism, so the closing action can be changed without removing the door from the cabinet. With a consistent 11 mm cup depth across the line, fabrication jigs for cup boring can stay fixed while installers use the cam adjustments and drilling distance range to bring doors into alignment at the jobsite.

Using Salice CUR32D9R Hinges In Cabinet Projects

Where This CUR32D9R Hinge Works Best

The CUR32D9R face frame hinge is built for 1 inch overlay cabinet doors, so it works in layouts where the door covers most of the face frame but still reveals a defined edge. As part of the Salice Series CU Silentia hinges family, this model brings soft-close performance to concealed face-frame applications where visible hardware is not desired. The 106 degree opening capability helps when cabinets are installed in runs with adjacent cabinets or walls, because the extra swing creates more open access to shelves. A dowel mounting style on the cup side supports machine-bored production doors, where dowel insertion can speed assembly and keep locations consistent. For woodworking shops using a single hinge family across a project, the shared 11 mm cup depth and consistent drilling distance window from 2.5 mm to 6.0 mm help standardize boring patterns across door sizes.

Adjustment Details That Support Repeatable Results

The 3 cam adjustment design gives three separate adjustment points on the hinge, letting installers refine the door position in multiple directions to compensate for cabinet or door variation. Because the cams sit in the hinge body, adjustments can be performed with the door hung, tightening alignment without disassembly. The integrated soft-close silent decelerating mechanism is built directly into the hinge arm, so every adjustment of the hinge position keeps the closing control aligned with the door pivot. The activation switch positioned clearly on the front of the hinge lets users change from soft-close to free-swing behavior using only the visible control surface. This on-hinge switch allows a single hinge model to cover doors of different sizes or weights within a run, because the soft close function can be active on some doors and deactivated on others according to how each door behaves. Since the drilling distance range spans from 2.5 mm to 6.0 mm, fabricators have room to position the cup to suit overlay needs and edge conditions while relying on the cam system to finalize reveals on installation.

Common Questions About Salice Silentia CUR32D9R

Selecting This Salice Hinge For Your Project

The Salice Silentia face frame hinge with 1 inch overlay, 106 degree opening, and 3 cam adjustment gives cabinet builders a concealed option that balances access, alignment, and controlled closing. Its 11 mm cup depth and 2.5 mm to 6.0 mm drilling distance window support consistent boring practices in the shop while leaving adjustment range on site. By using the CUR32D9R part number when ordering, projects can repeat the same hinge across multiple cabinets, keeping motion, overlay, and finish aligned from one opening to the next.
