Nickel Soft-Close Concealed Hinge for Flush Inset Doors

This Salice Series 100 Logica hinge mounts inset doors that sit flush inside the cabinet opening on face-frame and frameless cabinets, with Silentia soft-close built in and toolless arm engagement.

Key Features

• Silentia integrated soft-close damps 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 opening with an even reveal on all sides.
• 105 degree opening angle delivers practical everyday access for a flush-fitted inset door.
• Toolless Logica arm engagement clips the hinge to the base plate without a screwdriver for fast installation and door removal.
• Fits face-frame and frameless cabinets when paired with the appropriate Salice base plate, sold separately.
• Nickel finish on steel blends with pulls, knobs, and other hardware in a coordinated nickel palette.

Putting Inset Doors in Their Place

An inset door lives inside the cabinet opening rather than over it. The result is a clean, furniture-like face where the gap between door and frame is the visual feature. That look demands precise geometry, and this hinge supplies it: the full crank arm holds the door back so it clears the opening as it swings and returns to a consistent reveal when closed. The 35mm cup bores into the back of the door, and the arm clips to a Salice base plate fastened to the cabinet side or frame. That plate is a separate purchase and must be a Salice plate matched to your cabinet construction. Plates from other brands will not connect to this hinge.

Because inset tolerances are tighter than overlay work, the side and height adjustment built into this hinge matters. After the plates are set, small cam-screw turns bring every door to an even reveal without resetting the plate position.

Steel Build in a Nickel Finish

The hinge body is steel with a nickel finish. Nickel sits in the middle of the hardware palette, warm enough to read as traditional and refined enough for contemporary kitchens and baths. On an inset application, the hinge is fully hidden when the door is closed, so the finish shows only during installation and adjustment. What nickel does here is coordinate: specify it when the pulls, knobs, or other exposed hardware on the same project are nickel, and the hardware reads as a considered set rather than a collection of parts.

The Silentia soft-close damper is integrated into the hinge body, not an add-on clip. That means no extra parts to source and nothing to come loose over the life of the door.

The Right Fit for This Hinge

This hinge is the right call on face-frame and frameless cabinets where a flush inset door is the design intent and the project hardware is in a nickel finish. It suits cabinet shops fitting premium kitchens and furniture pieces, as well as remodelers replacing worn inset hinges and wanting to match existing nickel hardware without switching the look. Standard doors in the 16 to 22mm range are the right thickness window. For doors thicker than 22mm, a thick-door hinge with a deeper cup is the appropriate choice. The Logica toolless clip makes it easy to pull a door during finishing or countertop work and rehang it cleanly.

If the project calls for a door that covers the cabinet side rather than sitting inside it, an overlay hinge is the correct pick. And if the close needs to be a spring pull rather than a cushioned settle, the self-close version of this series is available instead.
