Salice Silentia Hinge For Thick Full Overlay Doors
Salice 200 Series Soft-Close Silentia hinge gives cabinet builders a concealed, soft-closing hinge solution for full overlay applications on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, so thick doors close in a controlled way without exposed hardware. The hinge belongs to the Salice Series 200 family of concealed cabinet hinges, which keeps the mechanism hidden while supporting precise alignment in modern casework. A 94 degree opening angle lets the door swing wide enough for everyday cabinet access while still protecting door edges from over-travel in tight runs. The hinge design suits doors up to 1-1/4 inch thick, allowing heavier, thicker fronts to be used while maintaining consistent reveals. Large overlays up to 24 mm are supported, so wide face coverage on frames or panels can be achieved without crowding adjacent doors.
Key Salice 200 Series Silentia Hinge Advantages
- The adjustable integrated soft-close mechanism uses twin silicone-oil dampers, so every door movement is controlled at the hinge cup, which helps cabinets close smoothly under varied loading and usage.
- Soft-close components are completely hidden within the hinge cup, which preserves a clean interior appearance and keeps the damping system protected inside the hinge during daily use.
- The hinge is suitable for doors up to 1-1/4 inch thick, so thicker door constructions can be specified while still maintaining minimal gaps between neighboring doors on a run.
- Large overlays up to 24 mm are supported, allowing doors to cover more of the cabinet face and frame while still coordinating with Salice mounting plates for consistent alignment.
- An all steel hinge body is nickel plated for corrosion resistance, which helps the concealed mechanism perform consistently in typical cabinet environments over extended service.
- The hinge is permanently self lubricating with environmentally safe lubricants, so the moving parts remain smooth through repeated cycles without separate lubrication steps.
Hinge Mounting And Adjustment Details That Matter
This Salice Silentia Series 200 hinge uses a cup depth of 15.5 mm, giving drill operations a defined target that matches the hinge geometry. A hinge cup edge drilling distance of 3 mm to 9 mm allows some flexibility in boring layout while staying within the intended working range of the arm. The patented parallel side-to-side adjustment of plus 4.5 mm to minus 1.5 mm is managed through a hinge arm screw, so installed doors can be shifted horizontally without redrilling the cabinet. Series 200 hinges are designed to work with Salice mounting plates, linking the hinge arm to a plate system that supports repeatable mounting positions on both face-frame and frameless cases.
Using This Salice Hinge In Cabinet Projects
Where This Thick Door Concealed Hinge Fits
Silentia Series 200 thick door soft-close hinges are suited to cabinet doors where a concealed hinge is needed and the door thickness approaches 1-1/4 inch, so heavier fronts stay supported while gaps remain tight. Full overlay applications benefit from overlays up to 24 mm, because doors can visually cover frames or panel edges while still clearing neighboring fronts. The hinge works on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, giving shops one hinge style that can be applied across different construction methods without changing the basic drilling geometry. With a 94 degree opening angle, the hinge provides normal cabinet access while managing swing in installations where deeper openings could interfere with walls or adjacent cabinets.
Why Silentia Adjustments Support Repeatable Results
The patented parallel side-to-side adjustment of plus 4.5 mm to minus 1.5 mm allows lateral tuning by turning the hinge arm screw, so alignment changes happen at the hardware instead of at the cabinet. This range supports correcting small drilling tolerances while keeping reveals consistent across a door bank. The adjustable integrated soft-close mechanism operates through twin silicone-oil dampers inside the cup, letting the closing speed be controlled at the hinge in a way that stays protected from dust and handling. Because the soft-close system is fully integrated and hidden, the cabinet exterior remains uncluttered and the damping response comes directly from the hinge rather than separate devices. The all steel nickel plated construction with permanent self lubrication means the motion of the arm and cup remains smooth under repeated opening and closing cycles.
Common Questions About Salice C2RBAE9 Hinge Use
What cabinet doors suit the Silentia Series 200 hinge?
The hinge suits doors up to 1-1/4 inch thick, so it supports thicker cabinet fronts while maintaining minimal gaps between doors on both face-frame and frameless cabinets.
How far does the Salice 94 degree soft close hinge open?
The hinge opens 94 degrees, which allows everyday cabinet access while helping control door swing where wider opening angles could contact nearby cabinets or walls.
How does the Silentia integrated soft close mechanism work?
The hinge uses an adjustable integrated soft-close mechanism with twin silicone-oil dampers, so door closing is slowed and controlled directly at the hinge cup.
What horizontal adjustment does the Salice C2RBAE9 hinge provide?
The hinge offers patented parallel side-to-side adjustment from plus 4.5 mm to minus 1.5 mm via a hinge arm screw, allowing fine tuning of door reveals.
Why is nickel plating useful on this concealed cabinet hinge?
The all steel hinge is nickel plated for corrosion resistance, so the concealed mechanism stays protected in typical cabinet environments over time.
What drilling details apply to the Silentia hinge cup?
The hinge uses a 15.5 mm cup depth and a hinge cup edge drilling distance of 3 mm to 9 mm, guiding boring operations for proper fit.
