Nickel Soft-Close Inset Hinge for Face-Frame and Frameless Cabinets

This Salice Series 700 Silentia hinge is built for inset doors on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, delivering quiet, damped closing in a nickel finish and a screw-on mount that locks the hinge firmly in place.

Key Features

• Silentia soft-close cushions the door over the final closing arc, 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 gives standard everyday swing clearance for inset cabinetry.
• Screw-on mounting fastens the hinge directly to the cabinet for a firm, stable connection.
• Works on face-frame and frameless cabinets, covering both construction styles with one part.
• Height and side adjustment lets you dial in an even reveal after installation.

Hanging Doors Flush in the Opening

Inset doors sit inside the cabinet opening rather than over it, which means the fit is tighter and the reveal has to be even on every edge. This hinge carries the full crank arm geometry that places the door at the inset position, and the 35mm cup bores into the back of the door at a 45mm hole spacing. The hinge arm connects to a base plate mounted to the cabinet, which is sold separately. Because inset doors close into a tight frame, the Silentia soft-close does real work here: it brings the door to rest gently rather than letting it contact the opening at speed, which protects both the finish and the fit over years of daily use.

Steel Construction in a Nickel Finish

The hinge body is steel with a nickel finish, a pairing that suits the hardware tone of traditional face-frame kitchens as well as cleaner contemporary frameless builds. Nickel reads as a warm neutral, coordinating well with brushed hardware pulls, bin cups, and other visible accessories in the same space. The screw-on mount anchors the plate mechanically to the cabinet side or face, which makes it a dependable choice wherever a clip-on or tool-free system is not in use or not preferred. Height adjustment of plus or minus 2mm and side adjustment of plus 4.5mm to minus 1.5mm are available after mounting, so the reveal can be trued up without re-boring.

Where This Hinge Belongs

This is the right pick for cabinet shops, designers, and finish carpenters specifying inset doors on face-frame or frameless boxes and matching the hardware finish across the project. It suits kitchens and bath cabinetry where the flush, furniture-style look of an inset door is the design intent, and where the installer wants the security of a screw-on connection rather than a press-in tool-free mount. Standard doors in the 16 to 22mm thickness range are the target. For doors thicker than 22mm, a thick-door hinge is the appropriate choice. A matching Salice base plate, sold separately, is required to complete the installation.
