Silentia Series 700 Blind Corner Hinge For Cabinets
Silentia Series 700 blind corner hinge is a concealed cabinet hinge designed for residential and commercial cabinets, so it handles typical kitchen or casework layouts where a clean exterior and consistent motion are critical. The soft-close mechanism is completely hidden within the hinge cup, so doors close quietly without adding visible hardware that could disrupt the cabinet face. As a concealed long arm hinge in nickel finish, it keeps the cabinet interior looking professional while delivering the functionality expected on modern builds. Being part of the Salice Silentia Series 700 family, it aligns with other Silentia hinges in a run, simplifying layout decisions when a project mixes straight runs and blind corners.
Key Silentia Hinge Details That Support Workflow
- The soft-close mechanism is completely hidden from view within the hinge cup, which keeps the hardware invisible from the front while still controlling door closing speed for a more controlled, consistent swing.
- These Silentia Series 700 positive and negative angle hinges are designed for use in both residential and commercial cabinets, so the same hinge spec can be carried across kitchen, office, or commercial millwork runs for easier standardization.
- A cup depth of 13.5 mm makes the hinge compatible with most cabinet door profiles, giving flexibility on door design while still keeping the concealed cup seated correctly in the door.
- A hinge cup edge drilling distance of 3 mm to 8 mm lets the cup location be set within that range, helping align reveals and overlays to the cabinet design without changing to a different hinge series.
- Patented parallel side-to-side adjustment of plus 4.5 mm to minus 1.5 mm via the hinge arm screw allows fine tuning of the door position after installation, which reduces rework time when dialing in consistent gaps across multiple doors.
- Series 700 hinges are designed to work with Salice mounting plates, which lets the hinge pair with matching plates in a system approach so hinge and plate geometry stay predictable across the job.
Press-In Dowel Cup Mounting For Cabinet Doors
This hinge uses a "Press-in" dowel cup fastening design, so the hinge cup is mounted in the door using dowels rather than screws, which speeds up installation in production or jig-driven drilling setups. The hinge cup depth of 13.5 mm works together with the 3 mm to 8 mm cup edge drilling distance, giving a clear drilling target that fits common boring patterns used on concealed cabinet hinges. Because the soft-close mechanism is completely hidden in the cup, there is no secondary component to place on the cabinet, which keeps the installation focused on standard cup boring and plate mounting.
Using This Blind Corner Hinge In Real Projects
Where This Soft-Close Blind Corner Hinge Fits
These Silentia+ Series 700 positive and negative angle hinges are designed for use in both residential and commercial cabinets, so they suit kitchen corners, office casework, or similar cabinetry that needs a blind corner solution. As a concealed cabinet hinge in the European blind corner hinge category, it fits applications where the hinge must operate at a positive or negative opening angle while staying hidden from the exterior. The cup depth of 13.5 mm makes the hinge compatible with most cabinet door profiles, which helps when switching between slab fronts and profiled doors in the same project. With a hinge cup edge drilling distance of 3 mm to 8 mm, the hinge supports different overlay or inset layouts within that drilling window while maintaining proper engagement in the door material.
Adjustment And System Components For Consistent Results
The patented parallel side-to-side adjustment of plus 4.5 mm to minus 1.5 mm via the hinge arm screw lets the installer move the door sideways without tilting it, which keeps reveals parallel while correcting small drilling or mounting variances. Because this adjustment is built into the hinge arm, it can be done after the door is hung, reducing time spent pulling doors off to correct minor alignment issues. Series 700 hinges are designed to work with Salice mounting plates, so once the correct plate is selected for the cabinet style, hinge and plate work together as a system to repeat settings across multiple openings. The soft-close mechanism hidden in the hinge cup means the closing action is controlled by the hinge itself, so once the arm and plate positions are set, the door motion remains consistent from cabinet to cabinet. With the press-in dowel fastening design at the cup, the hinge can be quickly seated in pre-bored doors, which supports production work where repeatable drilling and fast assembly are important.
Common Questions About This Silentia Cabinet Hinge
What type of cabinet applications is this hinge designed for?
The hinge is designed for use in both residential and commercial cabinets, so it works across kitchens, offices, and similar casework where a concealed soft-close hinge is required.
How does the 13.5 mm cup depth affect door design?
The 13.5 mm cup depth makes the hinge compatible with most cabinet door profiles, allowing a range of door thicknesses and edge treatments while still giving proper seating of the hinge cup.
What is the benefit of the 3 to 8 mm cup edge drilling distance?
The 3 mm to 8 mm hinge cup edge drilling distance lets you position the cup within that range, helping achieve the desired overlay or inset relationship to the cabinet face frame or side.
How does the parallel side-to-side adjustment help alignment?
The patented parallel side-to-side adjustment of plus 4.5 mm to minus 1.5 mm via the hinge arm screw lets the door shift sideways without tilting, improving reveals and reducing alignment time.
What does it mean that this is a positive and negative angle hinge?
Being a positive and negative angle hinge means it is intended for blind corner and angled cabinet applications, so it supports door opening at non-standard angles common in corner layouts.
How does the hidden soft-close mechanism affect cabinet appearance?
The soft-close mechanism is completely hidden within the hinge cup, so the cabinet exterior stays clean while the door closes in a controlled, quiet motion driven entirely by the concealed hinge.
