Nickel Soft-Close Hinge for 1/2" Overlay Doors on Face-Frame and Frameless Cabinets

This Salice Series 700 Silentia hinge brings integrated soft-close to 1/2 inch overlay doors, in a nickel finish, on both face-frame and frameless cabinet boxes.

Key Features

• Silentia soft-close damps the door over the final arc of closing so it settles quietly without impact.
• 1/2 inch overlay, half crank arm positions two doors on a shared partition without arm collision.
• 110 degree opening delivers standard everyday swing for cabinet access.
• Expanding dowel mount (RAPIDO) presses into pre-bored dowel holes for a fast, screw-free cup installation.
• 35mm cup, 45mm bore pattern fits the standard door boring used across production and custom shops.
• Nickel finish on steel blends with the hardware already in the run.

Where This Hinge Earns Its Place

Half-overlay work almost always means two doors sharing a center partition, each door overlapping the cabinet side by about half an inch so the pair leaves an even reveal. That shared-partition geometry is exactly what the half crank arm is built for: it pulls the door back enough that two arms can sit side by side on one divider without binding. This hinge handles that application on both frameless box cabinets and face-frame cabinets, so it fits a wide range of production runs and custom builds without switching to a different part.

The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the hinge connects to a Salice base plate mounted to the cabinet, ordered separately. Use Salice plates; plates are brand-specific and a plate from another manufacturer will not connect to this hinge.

Nickel Finish and a Quiet Everyday Close

The hinge is steel with a nickel finish, a neutral tone that sits well alongside nickel pulls, slides, and catches in a coordinated run. Series 700 is Salice's premium concealed line, and the Silentia soft-close built into this hinge reflects that: the damper slows the door through the closing arc so contact is absorbed rather than slammed. On a set of doors opened and closed dozens of times a day, that quiet close is what keeps both the door and the finish looking right over time.

The Right Spec for Production Shops and Custom Installs

Cabinet shops running face-frame boxes, builders working frameless, and contractors finishing multi-door kitchens all reach for this hinge when the spec calls for 1/2 inch overlay with soft-close. The expanding dowel mount speeds up the door-side installation in a CNC-bored environment, pressing into pre-drilled dowel holes without separate cup screws. For doors in the standard 16 to 22mm thickness range, this is a direct fit. Doors over 22mm call for a thick-door hinge instead.
