Blind Corner Geometry and Inset Fit, With Silentia Soft-Close

This Salice Series 700 blind corner hinge mounts inset doors on face-frame and frameless cabinets that meet at a corner, using dowel attachment and integrated Silentia soft-close to keep the door quiet and square in a tight space.

Key Features

• Blind corner arm geometry restricts the swing so the inset door clears the adjacent cabinet without collision.
• Inset overlay configuration seats the door flush inside the opening with an even reveal on all sides.
• Integrated Silentia soft-close damps the door over the final degrees of closing so it settles quietly every time.
• Dowel mount cup presses into pre-bored dowel holes in the door for a clean, screw-free door-side connection.
• Works on both face-frame and frameless cabinets when paired with the appropriate Salice base plate, sold separately.
• Height and side adjustment lets you dial in an even reveal after the doors are hung.

Built for the Blind Corner Challenge

A blind corner cabinet sits where two cabinet runs meet at a right angle, and the door on the corner unit has almost no clearance to swing before it hits the adjacent cabinet face. This hinge is engineered for exactly that condition: the arm geometry limits the opening arc to 110 degrees, which is the angle that lets the door clear the neighboring cabinet without the restricted swing working against daily use. The inset configuration adds another layer of precision, placing the door flush inside the opening rather than overlapping it, so the tight corner stays clean and uncluttered when the door is closed.

The 35mm cup bores into the door and the hinge body connects to a Salice base plate mounted to the cabinet, ordered separately. Because plates are brand-specific, use Salice plates matched to this series and your cabinet construction. The dowel mount attaches the cup to the door through pre-bored dowel holes, skipping the cup screws entirely for a faster, cleaner door-side connection on CNC-prepared doors.

Series 700 Finish and Silentia Performance

The hinge is steel in a nickel finish, consistent with the Series 700 standard for corrosion-resistant plating. The Silentia soft-close mechanism is built into the hinge body, so no separate add-on damper is needed. It slows the door through the final closing arc and brings it to rest without a slam, which matters most on inset doors where the tight reveal leaves little tolerance for repeated impact. Height adjustment of plus or minus 2mm and side adjustment of plus 4.5mm and minus 1.5mm let you correct an uneven reveal after installation without touching the door or the bore.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet shops working on corner units with inset doors will find this hinge handles the geometry that a standard inset hinge cannot: the controlled swing for the clearance-challenged corner position. It suits face-frame and frameless construction equally, making it a single part number that crosses both cabinet types on a mixed job. Contractors finishing a kitchen with a blind corner run can specify this alongside the matching Salice plates for a consistent install. For standard inset doors away from the corner, a non-blind-corner inset hinge in this series is the right pick.

Corner Clearance, Flush Fit, Quiet Close

Specify this hinge when the corner unit calls for an inset door that clears its neighbor cleanly, closes without slamming, and pairs with the same plate system across the rest of the job.
