Pacta hinge system is a compact hinge system for drop down doors without the need for additional cables or flap stays, so it streamlines the hardware layout when you are building or upgrading casework. This Pacta Type W soft close, Smove gray version comes from Salice America, aligning with jobs where consistent motion and a clean look are critical. The hinge is designed for use on drop down doors that need controlled movement, which helps keep fronts aligned with interior components in everyday use. In the fully open position, the door and cabinet bottom panel are aligned for a smooth surface, giving you a continuous work edge or shelf with no height change at the joint. The system is a down stay within the lid supports and stays family, so it supports drop down fronts in standard cabinet and furniture applications.
The hinge system is intended for drop down doors with a minimum door height of 11 inches and a maximum door height of 16 inches, so it targets small to mid-size fronts commonly used in upper cabinets, consoles, and similar units. Within this height window, the soft-opening action can work with the door weight and geometry to give consistent motion. A center hinge can be added on cabinet widths 30 inches or wider, which extends support across wider runs without changing the basic opening behavior. The 50 lb. load rating interacts with both door size and construction so you can select materials and door layouts that operate within that stated capacity.
The compact hinge system for drop down doors without the need for additional cables or flap stays is well suited to projects where interior space and clean lines are priorities. It is indicated as ideal for use in kitchens, bathrooms, closets, and commercial applications, so it fits wall cabinets, tall storage modules, and service units in those environments. In kitchen runs, the aligned door and cabinet bottom panel in the fully open position create a smooth surface that can serve as a landing or access shelf at appliance or storage height. In bathrooms and closets, the controlled and gradual soft-opening movement helps keep fronts from swinging abruptly into nearby fixtures or doors. In commercial applications, the compact down stay format supports drop down access panels or storage fronts while keeping the interior free from extra stays or cables.
The hinge system offers soft-opening for a controlled and gradual opening, which manages the speed and feel of the drop down motion for repeated daily use. It is available in soft-opening with self-close, or soft-opening with push-to-open for handle-less doors, giving two motion profiles that can match the cabinet front design. Soft-opening with self-close serves projects where users pull the front open and then rely on a defined closing action, while still benefiting from the same controlled opening behavior. Soft-opening with push-to-open for handle-less doors supports touch-activated fronts, so the hardware lines up with minimalist designs where no pulls are present. Covers in a variety of finishes are offered to complement and blend with any interior, allowing you to keep visible elements in line with surrounding panels and fittings. Across these options, the 50 lb. load rating supports repeated opening and closing cycles on doors within that capacity.
