Nickel Soft-Close Hinge for Half Overlay Doors on Face-Frame and Frameless Cabinets

This Salice 700 Series Silentia hinge brings integrated soft-close to half overlay doors on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, with a dowel-mount cup and a half crank arm sized for the partial overlay position.

Key Features

• Silentia integrated soft-close damps the door over the final closing arc so it settles quietly without slamming.
• Half overlay, half crank arm sets each door to a partial overlay, the geometry for two doors sharing a center partition.
• 110 degree opening delivers standard everyday access on a partial-overlay door.
• Dowel-mount cup presses into pre-bored dowel holes for a fast, screw-free door attachment suited to CNC and production workflows.
• Height and side adjustment lets you dial in an even reveal after the cabinets are set.
• Nickel finish on steel holds up to daily use and coordinates with nickel pulls and other hardware in the same run.

Where This Hinge Belongs

Half overlay is the configuration for doors that cover part of the cabinet side rather than nearly all of it. It is most common where two doors share one center partition, each door overlapping roughly half the stile or panel edge. This hinge carries the half crank geometry that makes that layout work, and the 35mm cup bores into the back of the door at a 45mm bore pattern. The arm connects to a Salice base plate mounted to the cabinet, purchased separately. Plates are Salice-specific, so pair this hinge with a plate from the same series.

Nickel Finish and Quiet-Close Performance

The hinge is steel with a nickel finish, a neutral tone that pairs cleanly with brushed or polished nickel pulls and knobs across a kitchen or bath run. The Silentia soft-close mechanism is built into the hinge body, so no separate damper add-on is needed. It slows the door over the last few degrees of travel, protecting both the door and the cabinet face from repeated impact. On shared-partition double doors, that cushioned close is especially noticeable: both doors settle quietly at the same time rather than one swinging free while the other stops hard.

Built for Production and Renovation Work

The dowel-mount cup fits directly into CNC-bored dowel holes in the door panel, skipping cup screws and keeping door prep consistent across a run. That makes this hinge a natural fit for cabinet shops processing doors on a CNC router, as well as remodelers replacing hinges in an existing layout that already carries dowel boring. It suits face-frame and frameless boxes alike, so one part number covers both cabinet styles on a mixed job. Standard doors in the 16 to 22mm thickness range are the right match for this hinge.

Consistent, Quiet Doors Across Every Cabinet in the Run

Specify this hinge when the job calls for half overlay doors that close softly, sit square, and wear a finish that holds its look alongside the rest of the hardware.
