Salice 200 Series Soft-Close Hinge Function

Salice 200 Series soft-close hinge uses the Silentia+ integrated soft-close mechanism operated by twin silicone-oil dampers, so the door closing is controlled at the hinge instead of at the cabinet edge for a more predictable motion. The soft-close mechanism is completely hidden within the hinge cup, so the hinge installs like a standard concealed model while keeping the damping components protected during regular use. Silentia+ is designed to give a perfect and constant closing of the door in any condition, so the closing speed remains consistent on doors of different sizes and weights within its range. This hinge is part of the Silentia Series 200 thick door soft-close line, so it is built for applications where door thickness and overlay require a long-arm concealed hinge solution.

Key Salice Silentia Features For Cabinet Work

• The Silentia+ mechanism uses twin silicone-oil dampers inside the hinge, which controls the last part of the swing so doors settle reliably without relying on external devices.
• The soft-close system is fully integrated into the hinge cup, keeping the damping components out of sight and protected, so the hinge maintains a clean concealed look while still providing controlled closing.
• This hinge is suitable for doors up to 1-1/4 inch thick, allowing use on thicker fronts while still maintaining the concealed European hinge layout used on many higher-end cabinet builds.
• Large overlays up to 24 mm are supported, which helps when covering wider face frames or frameless sides while holding minimal gaps between adjacent doors.
• The hinge cup depth of 15.5 mm and cup edge drilling distance of 3 mm to 9 mm give predictable boring parameters, helping setups stay consistent across multiple doors.
• The hinge follows the Salice Series 200 design that works with Salice mounting plates, so the hinge and plate are matched as a system for the intended cabinet layouts.

Installation Details For 94 Degree Dowel Hinge

This Salice Series 200 94 degree hinge uses a dowel mounting style at the cup, which suits production boring patterns where the hinge is pressed into predrilled holes rather than secured with alternative cup fasteners. The 94 degree opening angle defines how far the door swings from the cabinet front, so layouts can be planned around this movement when setting corners or adjacent cabinets. A hinge cup depth of 15.5 mm and an edge drilling distance between 3 mm and 9 mm provide fixed drilling parameters, so boring machinery or jigs can be set up once and repeated across doors. The design as a half overlay hinge for face-frame and frameless thick doors ties the geometry to both frame-front and panel-front cabinet construction styles.

Using This Half Overlay Thick Door Hinge

Where This Salice 200 Series Hinge Fits

This hinge is specified as a Salice 200 Series soft-close Silentia half overlay face-frame and frameless thick door hinge, so it is intended for cabinet doors that cover only part of the opening on frame-front or panel-front cases. Suitability for doors up to 1-1/4 inch thick means it can be used on heavier or thicker door constructions while still working within European concealed hinge boring practices. Large overlays possible up to 24 mm allow the door edge to cover more of the cabinet front, which helps when designing tighter reveals or hiding the frame edges. Being a concealed cabinet hinge in the European thick door hinge category, it sits inside the cabinet and door, keeping hardware hidden while providing the functionality of a long arm hinge. The stated 94 degree opening angle sets the swing range for planning clearances near walls, adjacent cabinets, or interior components.

Adjustment And Performance For Repeatable Results

Silentia Series 200 thick door soft-close hinges feature a patented parallel side-to-side adjustment of plus 4.5 mm to minus 1.5 mm via the hinge arm screw, which gives lateral movement at the door without reboring so reveals can be fine-tuned after mounting. This parallel adjustment happens at the hinge arm, allowing installers to realign doors across a run of cabinets while keeping the cup and plate locations unchanged. The all steel hinge is nickel plated for corrosion resistance, helping the hinge maintain its function and appearance in typical cabinet environments where moisture or cleaners may contact the hardware. The hinge is permanently self lubricating using environmentally safe lubricants, so the moving parts are treated for long-term motion without separate lubrication steps during normal service. The soft-close mechanism operated by twin silicone-oil dampers is integrated into the hinge cup, so the damping action remains consistent every cycle while staying protected inside the hinge body. Series 200 hinges are designed to work with Salice mounting plates, so door alignment and overlay control follow the plate options intended for this system.
