Nickel Finish and Flush-Door Fit for Inset Cabinetry

The Salice 100 Series Silentia hinge hangs inset doors on face-frame and frameless cabinets, bringing integrated soft-close and a clean nickel finish to doors that sit flush inside the opening.

Key Features

• Silentia soft-close damps the door through the final closing arc so it settles quietly without slamming.
• Inset overlay geometry positions the door flush within the cabinet opening with an even reveal on all sides.
• 105 degree opening angle delivers reliable access on a close-fitting inset door.
• Full crank arm carries the inset door position relative to the cabinet box.
• Screw-on mounting fastens the hinge directly to the cabinet with wood screws, no plate-to-cabinet system holes required.
• Three-way adjustment brings height, side, and depth into alignment after the door is hung.

Where Inset Doors Demand Precision

An inset door sits inside the cabinet opening rather than over it, framed by a narrow, even gap on all sides. That reveal is the whole visual point, and it depends on the hinge holding the door in exactly the right position. The full crank arm in this Salice 100 Series hinge is built for that placement. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door and the hinge arm screws to a base plate on the cabinet, which is ordered separately. Because the mount is screw-on, it goes straight into the cabinet side or face-frame stile with wood screws, making it a practical fit for both frameless boxes and face-frame cabinets without requiring pre-drilled system holes. The 45mm boring pattern lines up with the door's standard side-hole layout.

A Nickel Finish Built for Visible Work

Inset hardware is more visible than overlay hardware, because the gap around the door frames the hinge rather than hiding it. The nickel finish on this steel hinge holds up in that exposed position and coordinates with nickel knobs, pulls, and other visible hardware in the same kitchen or case piece. Salice's Silentia soft-close is integrated into the hinge body, so there is no add-on damper to install or lose, and the door settles quietly every time it closes, which matters when the fit is tight and repeated contact is a real risk to the reveal.

The Right Choice for Precise Inset Work

This hinge suits cabinet shops, furniture builders, and contractors running inset work on either frameless or face-frame construction. The screw-on mount is especially useful when the cabinet lacks pre-drilled 5mm system holes, since it does not depend on them. Doors in the standard 16 to 22mm thickness range are the target. For doors thicker than 22mm, a thick-door hinge is the correct choice. Two or three hinges per door is typical depending on door height and weight, with the exact count set by the manufacturer load table for the door's dimensions.

Common Questions

Quiet, Precise Closes on Every Inset Door

Specify this hinge when the project calls for flush inset doors that close without slamming, sit square in the opening, and carry a nickel finish that holds up in plain sight.
