Nickel Soft-Close Concealed Hinge for 1/2" Overlay Doors

This Salice 100 Series hinge brings soft-close damping to 1/2 inch overlay doors on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, with a nickel finish that coordinates with stainless pulls, brushed hardware, and other cool-toned accents throughout the kitchen or bath.

Key Features

• Silentia soft-close damps the door over the final degrees of closing so it settles quietly without slamming.
• 1/2 inch overlay, half-crank arm sets the door to a partial overlap, the correct geometry for two doors sharing a center partition.
• 105 degree opening delivers practical daily access on partial-overlay doors.
• Expanding dowel mounting anchors the hinge cup in the door bore for a firm, screw-free connection on the door side.
• Works on face-frame and frameless cabinets when paired with the appropriate Salice base plate, sold separately.
• Nickel finish on steel blends naturally with brushed and satin metallic hardware families.

Where This Hinge Fits the Job

Half-overlay geometry is the right call whenever two doors meet at a shared center partition, each overlapping the partition by roughly half an inch, or when a design calls for a partial reveal rather than a full-cover look. This hinge carries the half-crank arm that positions the door at that offset, so the two doors on a shared partition sit evenly without the arms colliding inside the cabinet.

The expanding dowel on the door side presses into the bored hole and locks the cup mechanically, without relying on cup screws for retention. For production runs or CNC shops boring doors in volume, this mounting method keeps the install consistent from door to door. The 35mm cup bores to a standard 13.5mm depth, and the 45mm boring pattern fits existing jigs used across most concealed hinge setups in this segment.

A separate Salice base plate mounts to the cabinet and accepts the hinge arm. Salice plates are proprietary to the Salice system, so use Salice plates matched to your cabinet construction and desired overlay. The plate is not included and must be ordered separately.

Nickel Finish and Steel Build

The steel body in a nickel finish holds up to the repetitive open-and-close cycle of a working kitchen or bath. Nickel reads as a neutral, slightly warm cool tone that pairs well with stainless appliances, brushed nickel pulls, and chrome fixtures without competing with them. It is the finish to specify when the hardware family is built around satin or brushed metallic tones rather than a warmer brass or a high-contrast matte black.

The Silentia damping mechanism is integrated into the hinge body. There is no separate clip-on damper to order or lose, and the damping engages consistently on every close without adjustment over time.

Right for Production Shops and Renovation Work

The expanding dowel mounting suits shops running CNC-bored doors where consistency matters more than field adjustability on the door side. The three-way adjustment after installation, height and side, lets the installer dial in the reveal and get two shared-partition doors sitting level without shimming or re-boring.

This is a 100 Series hinge, Salice's standard-duty line rated for everyday residential cabinet doors in the standard 16 to 22mm thickness range. For doors outside that window, match the hinge to the appropriate series. Contractors renovating kitchens with an existing partial-overlay layout will find this hinge straightforward to specify: confirm the overlay, match the cabinet type, pair it with a Salice plate, and it installs the same way across the whole run.

Common Questions

Consistent, Quiet Closes Across the Whole Run

Specify this hinge when the project calls for partial-overlay doors that close quietly, sit evenly on a shared partition, and carry a finish that coordinates with a brushed or satin metallic hardware palette.
