Salice Series 100 105 Degree Hinge Function
Salice Series 100 105 degree hinge uses an integrated Silentia+ soft-close mechanism operated by twin silicone-oil dampers in the hinge cup, so doors decelerate in a controlled way and avoid slamming during everyday cabinet use. The Silentia+ system has an innovative switch to delay the decelerating action, letting installers tune closing strength so different door sizes reach a consistent, predictable shut. A 105 degree opening angle gives enough swing for normal cabinet access while keeping the door within a controlled arc, which helps maintain alignment on face-frame and frameless jobs. The hinge belongs to the concealed cabinet hinges class, so the hardware stays hidden when the door is closed, supporting a clean cabinet appearance while still providing full European-style functionality. The product is branded by Salice America, giving tradespeople a clearly identified Series 100 solution for integrated soft-close needs.
Key Silentia Hinge Details For Cabinet Work
- Silentia+ adjustable integrated soft-close mechanism lets installers set decelerating strength so doors of different sizes close with similar speed and reduced impact.
- Twin silicone-oil dampers in the hinge cup control motion throughout the swing, which stabilizes closing action even under repeated use.
- New soft-close adjustment switch changes the decelerating phase, so closing can be fine-tuned at the hinge rather than at the door or case.
- Hinge design offers smooth opening with little resistance, helping doors feel light to operate while still benefiting from soft-close on the return.
- Construction is impervious to temperature extremes, so the soft-close function remains consistent in varied shop or building conditions.
- Standard 45 mm x 9.5 mm Salice boring pattern keeps cup drilling predictable, supporting repeatable casework setups and jig use.
Mounting Geometry And Overlay Control In Use
This hinge provides a 12 mm hinge cup boring depth, which keeps cup drilling shallow enough for typical cabinet door constructions while still seating the Silentia+ mechanism securely. An edge bore distance (K) from 3 mm to 6 mm gives flexibility in cup location, so installers can adjust reveal and overlay relationships while using familiar boring equipment. The hinge supports up to 21 mm overlay, allowing it to serve 1/2 inch overlay layouts within its overlay range on appropriate cabinets. It is specified for door thickness up to 25 mm, so thicker doors stay supported within the hinge geometry, helping prevent binding at full 105 degree opening. Compatibility with all Series 200 mounting plates means this hinge integrates into existing Salice plate setups, simplifying plate selection when standard plates are already in stock or in past projects.
How This Salice C176DE9 Hinge Works On Jobs
Where This Silentia Soft Close Hinge Performs Best
The Salice C176DE9 hinge is identified as a 105 degree Silentia+ hinge with 1/2 inch overlay capability, so it fits cabinet runs that need soft-close control on overlay doors within its overlay limit. Being part of the concealed cabinet hinges category, it suits projects where exposed hardware is not desired and a European concealed long arm layout is preferred. The hinge uses a 12 mm hinge cup boring depth and the 45 mm x 9.5 mm Salice boring pattern, so it aligns with standard European drilling processes often used in production or shop-built casework. An edge bore distance (K) from 3 mm to 6 mm lets the hinge adapt to variations in door design and frame or side thickness while keeping a consistent reveal line. With door thickness supported up to 25 mm, the hinge can handle many contemporary cabinet door designs that use thicker materials without changing to a different hinge family.
Why These Hinge Adjustments Support Consistent Results
The Silentia+ integrated soft-close mechanism with twin silicone-oil dampers keeps the closing action uniform, so doors shut in a controlled way across a bank of cabinets and reduce the risk of inconsistent behavior between openings. The innovative switch that delays deceleration allows installers to match soft-close performance to door weight and width, which helps maintain alignment of gaps because doors do not rebound or bounce at the frame. A 105 degree opening angle balances access and control, letting doors open wide enough for storage access while keeping hinge stresses in a proven operating range. Being impervious to temperature extremes, the Silentia+ system maintains similar damping even when room conditions change, which supports long-term performance in varied environments. Compatibility with all Series 200 mounting plates ties this Series 100 hinge into an established plate system, helping maintain consistent cup-to-plate geometry and reducing layout surprises on repeat jobs.
Common Questions About Salice Series 100 Hinge
What opening angle does the Salice C176DE9 hinge provide?
The Salice C176DE9 hinge provides a 105 degree opening angle, giving ample cabinet access while keeping the door movement controlled for standard face-frame and frameless layouts.
How does the Silentia+ soft-close mechanism work on this hinge?
The Silentia+ mechanism uses twin silicone-oil dampers inside the hinge cup with an adjustable switch, so door deceleration can be tuned for smoother, quieter closing.
What door thickness range is supported by this hinge?
The Salice Series 100 C176DE9 hinge supports door thickness up to 25 mm, allowing use on many modern cabinet doors without changing hinge families.
What overlay can this Salice 100 Series hinge handle?
The hinge supports up to 21 mm overlay, so it can serve 1/2 inch overlay applications that fall within this overlay range on suitable cabinet constructions.
Which mounting plates work with the Salice C176DE9 hinge?
The C176DE9 hinge is compatible with all Series 200 mounting plates, tying into existing Salice plate systems used on many cabinet projects.
What boring pattern does this Salice hinge require?
The hinge uses the standard 45 mm x 9.5 mm Salice boring pattern with a 12 mm cup depth, supporting repeatable drilling setups in cabinet shops.
Choose This Hinge For Controlled Overlay Closures
The Salice Series 100 105 degree hinge with Silentia+ soft-close, 12 mm cup depth, and up to 21 mm overlay capacity gives cabinet builders an integrated solution for smooth, controlled overlay doors. With compatibility across Series 200 mounting plates, the C176DE9 model simplifies planning when projects rely on standard Salice patterns. For overlay cabinet runs needing concealed European function plus adjustable soft-close behavior, this hinge provides the defined geometry and damping features to support consistent alignment and repeatable casework.
