Nickel Soft-Close Concealed Hinge for Flush Inset Doors

This Salice Series 700 hinge brings Silentia soft-close to inset doors on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, finished in nickel and mounted with an expanding dowel for a firm, vibration-resistant seat.

Key Features

• Silentia soft-close cushions the door over the final degrees of closing so it settles quietly without slamming.
• Inset geometry with full crank arm positions the door flush inside the cabinet opening with an even reveal on all sides.
• 110 degree opening angle delivers standard everyday access from an inset door.
• Expanding dowel mount anchors the hinge directly into the door's bored holes for a secure, rattle-free connection.
• Works on both face-frame and frameless cabinets when paired with a compatible Salice base plate, sold separately.
• Nickel finish on plated steel resists wear and coordinates with a broad range of hardware finishes.

Built for the Precision of Inset Work

An inset door sits fully inside its opening rather than over it, held to tight tolerances with a consistent reveal on every edge. That fit demands a hinge whose geometry keeps the door positioned correctly through every open-and-close cycle. The full crank arm on this hinge carries that inset geometry, and the 35mm cup bores into the back of the door to register the position reliably. The hinge arm connects to a Salice base plate mounted to the cabinet, which is a separate purchase matched to your cabinet construction and the door position you need. Because plates are specific to the Salice system, use Salice plates with this hinge.

Nickel Finish and an Expanding Dowel Foundation

The hinge body is plated steel in a nickel finish, a neutral tone that sits alongside chrome, brushed nickel, and satin metal pulls without competing. The expanding dowel mounting method sets this hinge apart from screw-cup versions: the dowels expand inside the bored holes rather than relying on cup screws alone, which means the hinge resists the small movements that can cause rattle over time. That stability matters on inset doors, where any shift in the door's position reads directly as a change in the reveal.

Where This Hinge Belongs

This is the hinge for cabinet makers and installers working on inset doors in kitchens, furniture pieces, and built-ins where a flush face is the design goal. It suits both face-frame and frameless construction, which makes it practical across a range of project types without swapping to a different hinge family. Standard door thickness of 16 to 22mm is the right range here. For doors outside that window, a thick-door or thin-door hinge is the correct tool. If the project calls for a partially overlapping or full-overlay door instead of an inset, an overlay hinge in this same series is the better fit.
