Salice 100 Series Soft-Close Hinge Function
Salice 100 Series soft-close hinge uses the Silentia+ system to control door closing, which lets doors decelerate in a controlled way so cabinets shut smoothly instead of slamming. Silentia+ is an adjustable integrated soft-close mechanism operated by twin silicone-oil dampers housed in the hinge cup, so the damping action stays inside the hinge and does not interfere with the cabinet interior. This Silentia+ system is equipped with an innovative switch to delay the decelerating action, which lets the door travel more freely before soft-close engages so you can tune the feel for different doors. The activation of this switch allows doors to obtain the ideal decelerating strength, which helps match closing speed to door weight for more consistent results across a run of cabinets.
Key Salice 100 Series Hinge Advantages
- Silentia+ is an adjustable integrated soft-close mechanism operated by twin silicone-oil dampers housed in the hinge cup, which keeps the closing control built into the hinge so there is no extra device on the cabinet.
- Silentia+ is equipped with the innovative switch to delay the decelerating action, which lets you shift when the braking starts so light and heavy doors reach an ideal decelerating strength.
- Integrated soft-close motion is built into the hinge, which simplifies hinge selection on jobs that call for soft-close action because you do not add separate dampers.
- The new soft-close adjustment switch gives you a simple on-hinge adjustment point, which saves time when you need to fine-tune closing behavior after doors are hung.
- Smooth opening with little resistance lets the door swing easily, which makes larger or heavier doors more comfortable to operate in everyday cabinet use.
- Silentia+ is impervious to temperature extremes, which supports consistent soft-close action in typical kitchen and shop environments where temperatures can vary.
Installation And Interface Details For This Hinge
This Salice America concealed cabinet hinge has a 105 degree opening angle, which provides a wide swing for cabinet access while maintaining controlled movement for the soft-close action. The hinge uses a 12 mm hinge cup boring depth, which defines the cup drilling depth needed in the door for proper seating. It is designed for an edge bore distance (K) from 3 mm to 6 mm, which gives a defined range for cup position from the door edge when setting up boring jigs. This hinge supports up to 21 mm overlay, which sets the maximum overlay that can be achieved in your layout. It is specified for door thickness up to 25 mm, which covers thicker doors within that range while still maintaining the designed closing performance.
Using This Salice Concealed Hinge In Cabinet Work
Where This Salice 100 Series Soft-Close Hinge Fits
This product is a Salice 100 Series hinge in the concealed cabinet hinges class, which suits European-style concealed applications where hardware is hidden behind the door. It is part of the European concealed long arm hinges category, which supports standard European cabinet construction where a long arm hinge links cup and mounting plate. The hinge offers a 105 degree opening angle, which makes it suitable where a wide but not extreme opening is needed, such as many kitchen and casework doors. It uses the standard 45 mm x 9.5 mm Salice boring pattern, which matches setups based on that Salice pattern for repeatable cup drilling. The hinge is compatible with all series 200 mounting plates, which lets it work with those plates in cabinet assemblies that already use Salice series 200 interfaces.
Why These Salice Hinge Details Support Repeatable Results
The uniform closing action regardless of door size helps maintain consistent feel across a bank of cabinets, which reduces adjustment passes when mixing narrow and wide doors on the same run. Silentia+ uses twin silicone-oil dampers housed in the hinge cup, which supports stable damping behavior over time because the oil-based system is integrated within the cup. The innovative switch to delay the decelerating action allows doors to obtain the ideal decelerating strength, which helps you tailor the soft-close response to differences in door width and weight while keeping the hinge model consistent. This hinge is impervious to temperature extremes, which supports predictable closing speed in normal cabinet environments where temperatures change from cooking, seasonal shifts, or shop conditions. The product exceeds ANSI/BHMA standards A156.9-2010, which signals that it meets defined performance criteria for cabinet hinges in that standard. A lifetime warranty is specified, which ties the hinge performance to long-term service expectations on cabinetry built with this component.
Common Questions About The Salice C1P6PE6 Hinge
What type of hinge is the Salice C1P6PE6 model?
The Salice C1P6PE6 is a Salice 100 Series concealed cabinet hinge, so it mounts as a European concealed long arm hinge where the hardware is hidden when the door is closed.
How does the Silentia+ soft-close system work on this hinge?
The Silentia+ system on this hinge uses twin silicone-oil dampers in the hinge cup with an integrated adjustment switch, so you can control when and how strongly the soft-close action engages.
What opening angle does this Salice 100 Series hinge provide?
This Salice 100 Series hinge provides a 105 degree opening angle, so the door swings open widely for access while staying within the designed soft-close motion range.
What door thickness and overlay can this hinge support?
This hinge is specified for door thickness up to 25 mm and supports up to 21 mm overlay, so layouts within those limits align with its designed geometry.
Which boring pattern and cup depth does this hinge require?
The hinge uses a 12 mm hinge cup boring depth and the standard 45 mm x 9.5 mm Salice boring pattern, so drilling setups matching that pattern align with the hinge cup and arm.
Which mounting plates work with the Salice C1P6PE6 hinge?
The Salice C1P6PE6 hinge is compatible with all series 200 mounting plates, so it fits cabinet projects already using Salice series 200 plate systems.
Selecting This Hinge For Your Cabinet Project
The Salice 100 Series soft-close hinge with Silentia+ integrates an adjustable soft-close mechanism into a concealed cabinet hinge, which gives you controlled, uniform door closing in a European concealed long arm format. Its 105 degree opening angle, 12 mm cup depth, edge bore distance (K) from 3 mm to 6 mm, and support for up to 21 mm overlay and door thickness up to 25 mm define the working envelope for cabinet layouts built around this hinge. Compatibility with all series 200 mounting plates and the standard 45 mm x 9.5 mm Salice boring pattern ties directly into Salice-based casework systems where repeatable drilling and mounting geometry matter.
