Wide-Swing Soft-Close Hinge for Half Overlay Doors in Nickel

This Salice Series 200 Silentia hinge opens to 155 degrees and brings integrated soft-close to half overlay doors on face-frame and frameless cabinets, finished in Nickel.

Key Features

• Silentia integrated soft-close damps the door through the final closing arc so it settles quietly without slamming.
• 155 degree opening angle swings the door nearly flat, giving wide clearance to the interior.
• Half overlay, half crank arm positions the door at a partial overlay, the correct geometry for two doors sharing a center partition.
• Screw-on mounting fastens directly to the cabinet side or face-frame stile with wood screws, no system holes required.
• Works on face-frame and frameless cabinets when paired with the matching Salice base plate, sold separately.
• Nickel finish on plated steel coordinates with brushed and satin metal hardware throughout a cabinet run.

Maximum Access on Shared-Partition Doors

The 155 degree opening sets this hinge apart from the standard 110 degree range. Where a standard hinge stops the door at roughly a right angle, this one swings it almost parallel to the cabinet side, clearing the full width of the interior and letting drawers and shelves behind the door open without the door blocking access. That clearance matters most on base and pantry cabinets, on appliance garages, and anywhere the door path runs close to an adjacent cabinet or a wall that a standard-angle hinge would nearly reach.

The half crank arm sets the door at a partial overlay, covering about half the cabinet side. That is the position two doors use when they meet on a single center partition, each overlapping its half without the arms colliding. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the arm connects to a Salice base plate on the cabinet. The base plate is sold separately and must be a Salice plate matched to this series; plates are not interchangeable across brands.

Nickel Finish and Silentia Damping

The hinge body is plated steel in a Nickel finish, a neutral tone that reads as brushed silver against most cabinet interiors and aligns with satin nickel pulls, knobs, and slides elsewhere on the job. The Silentia soft-close mechanism is built into the hinge, requiring no add-on damper. It engages over the last few degrees of travel, taking the impact out of daily closing and protecting the inlay and finish at the door edge over time.

Where This Hinge Belongs

This is the hinge for projects where a wide opening angle and soft-close are both on the spec list, and where the finish needs to match a Nickel hardware palette. It suits kitchen base cabinets with heavy or frequently used doors, pantry and utility cabinets where full interior access matters, and any run with two doors meeting on a shared partition. Screw-on mounting makes it straightforward on both frameless boxes and face-frame cabinets without requiring pre-drilled system holes. Cabinet shops fitting a run of shared-partition doors in Nickel and homeowners finishing a kitchen renovation with coordinated hardware both reach for this configuration.
