Nickel Soft-Close Hinge for 1/2 Inch Overlay Doors on Face-Frame and Frameless Cabinets

This Salice Series 100 Silentia hinge brings soft-close performance to 1/2 inch overlay doors on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, finished in nickel and mounted with standard screws.

Key Features

• Silentia soft-close damps the door through the final closing arc so it settles quietly without slamming.
• 1/2 inch overlay, half crank arm positions the door at a partial overlay, the geometry used when two doors share a center partition.
• 105 degree opening angle delivers practical everyday access on partial-overlay doors.
• Screw-on mounting fastens the hinge directly to the cabinet with wood screws, no system holes required.
• Works on face-frame and frameless cabinets when paired with the correct Salice base plate, sold separately.
• Steel construction in a nickel finish coordinates cleanly with satin and brushed metal hardware throughout the cabinet interior.

Where This Hinge Belongs

The 1/2 inch overlay, half crank geometry is the right pick for partial-overlay doors and especially for pairs of doors that meet on a single center partition, where each door overlaps the cabinet side by about half an inch rather than covering it fully. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the arm connects to a Salice base plate mounted on the cabinet side or stile. That plate is a separate purchase, matched to your cabinet construction. Because screw-on mounting works directly into wood without requiring pre-drilled 5mm system holes, this hinge fits production frameless boxes and traditional face-frame cabinets alike.

Steel Build and a Nickel Finish That Travels

The hinge body is plated steel. The nickel finish is a practical neutral: it reads as satin metal in the cabinet interior, so it sits comfortably alongside brushed nickel pulls, satin nickel hinges on adjacent doors, and most contemporary hardware palettes without calling attention to itself. The Silentia soft-close mechanism is integrated into the hinge, not added on, so there are no separate damper clips to source or replace later. Height and side adjustment let you bring doors back to an even reveal as the cabinet settles.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet shops running face-frame work, remodelers updating kitchen boxes, and contractors fitting out multi-unit projects will find this hinge straightforward to specify. Screw-on mounting means no dependency on system holes, which simplifies the job on older or custom-built cabinets. The Series 100 is Salice's lighter-door line at 105 degrees, a good match for standard-weight doors where the full 110 degree swing of the Series 200 is not a requirement. For heavier doors or projects where a cushioned close at a full swing is the priority, the Series 200 Silentia+ is the natural next step in the Salice range.
