Salice Series 100 105 Degree Hinge Performance

Salice Series 100 105 degree hinge performance centers on a hinge that uses the Silentia+ system, so the soft-close function is built directly into the hinge cup and stays protected during cabinet use. The Silentia+ system relies on twin silicone-oil dampers housed in the hinge cup, which control door movement and support a controlled closing motion even as doors gain weight from hardware or storage. An adjustable integrated soft-close mechanism is part of the design, giving installers a way to tune closing behavior to the door application. The Silentia+ hinge is equipped with an innovative switch to delay the decelerating action, so the closing force can be tailored when a door needs a different deceleration profile. The 105 degree opening angle gives doors wide swing while still keeping the motion within typical cabinet clearances, helping doors open comfortably for access.

Key Silentia Hinge Details For Cabinet Projects

• The 12 mm hinge cup boring depth matches standard European drilling, so boring setups and drilling jigs remain straightforward across many cabinet runs.
• The edge bore distance (K) from 3 mm to 6 mm gives flexibility in cup position, so fabricators can adapt to face-frame or frameless layouts while staying within Salice parameters.
• Compatibility with all Series 200 mounting plates ties this hinge into the broader Salice plate program, so installers can select plates that match their preferred reveal and construction style.
• A standard 45 mm x 9.5 mm Salice boring pattern is specified, which keeps drilling patterns consistent and speeds repeat projects, templating, and line-boring workflows.
• The hinge is rated to exceed ANSI/BHMA A156.9-2010, so it is built for the performance levels expected in ANSI/BHMA-tested cabinet applications.
• Design for door thickness up to 25 mm allows use on thicker doors, enabling flexibility in material selection and decorative fronts within that range.

Rapido Inset Hinge Setup And Fit Details

This Silentia hinge is identified as an inset overlay face-frame;frameless hinge, so it is designed for inset door applications across both face-frame and frameless cabinet construction. The Rapido designation in the hinge name identifies it as part of the Rapido line, linking it to that specific Salice inset hinge family. A 105 degree opening angle is specified, giving doors a defined sweep for planning adjacent cabinets and wall clearances. An edge bore distance (K) from 3 mm to 6 mm is supported, so door drilling can be set within that K-range while still matching the intended geometry. The hinge relies on a 12 mm hinge cup boring depth, and that depth aligns with common hinge boring equipment used in cabinet shops. A standard 45 mm x 9.5 mm Salice boring pattern is called out, supporting predictable drilling layouts.

Using The Silentia Rapido Hinge In Cabinet Work

Where This Salice C176PE9 Hinge Fits Best

This hinge is specified as an inset overlay face-frame;frameless hinge, so it is aligned with projects where doors sit flush within the opening on both face-frame and frameless casework. A 105 degree opening angle supports cabinet layouts that need doors to open beyond 90 degrees while still respecting nearby cabinets and walls. Door thickness up to 25 mm is supported, so it works with a range of panel materials and applied fronts within that thickness range. The Silentia+ soft-close system uses twin silicone-oil dampers housed inside the hinge cup, so the closing control is internal to the hinge and suited to kitchen, bath, or other interior cabinet installations. Compatibility with all Series 200 mounting plates expands its use across various mounting heights and setbacks that follow the Salice plate system. Exceeding ANSI/BHMA A156.9-2010 positions this hinge for cabinet installations that call for performance matching that standard.

How Silentia+ Details Support Consistent Results

The Silentia+ adjustable integrated soft-close mechanism is engineered so the closing action can be tuned to the installed door, which supports consistent motion when doors differ in width or weight but share the same hinge type. An innovative switch to delay the decelerating action is built into the Silentia+ design, giving control over when damping engages and helping minimize slamming for a range of closing speeds. Imperviousness to temperature extremes is specified for Silentia+, so the silicone-oil dampers and mechanism are intended to maintain similar performance in varied interior conditions. Uniform closing action regardless of door size is a stated characteristic, so the hinge is meant to keep closing behavior similar from smaller doors up to its door-size capacity. The standard 45 mm x 9.5 mm Salice boring pattern and 12 mm cup depth help repetitive drilling produce repeatable hinge geometry, which in turn supports accurate reveals and alignment across multiple openings.

Salice Silentia Hinge Questions For Cabinet Installers

Choose This Silentia Hinge For Inset Door Control

The Salice 100 Series Rapido Silentia hinge pairs an inset overlay face-frame;frameless design with a 105 degree opening angle, so it targets inset cabinet doors that need wider access. The Silentia+ adjustable integrated soft-close system with twin silicone-oil dampers and a deceleration switch offers controlled closing behavior for varied door sizes. A 12 mm cup depth, K-range from 3 mm to 6 mm, and the standard 45 mm x 9.5 mm Salice boring pattern support efficient drilling and consistent geometry. Compatibility with all Series 200 mounting plates ties this hinge into the Salice plate range for different cabinet layouts. Exceeding ANSI/BHMA A156.9-2010 positions it for applications calling for that level of hinge performance.
