94-Degree Thick Door Hinge for 1/2 Inch Overlay Applications

This Salice Series 200 concealed hinge is engineered for thick cabinet doors on face-frame and frameless cabinets, with a 1/2 inch half-overlay geometry, dowel mounting, and a 94-degree opening angle sized to keep a heavy door from overswinging or binding.

Key Features

• Thick door geometry accommodates doors that exceed the standard 16 to 22mm range where a conventional hinge cup will not seat correctly.
• Self-close spring pulls the door firmly shut over the last few degrees of travel without requiring a push to the latch.
• 94-degree opening angle controls the door swing to protect adjacent surfaces and prevent a heavy door from stressing the hinge arm.
• Dowel mounting presses the cup into pre-bored dowel holes in the door for a fast, screw-free door-side installation.
• 1/2 inch half-crank overlay positions the door at a partial overlay, the geometry shared by two doors meeting on a center partition.
• Height and side adjustment lets you align doors after mounting without removing them from the cabinet.

What the 94-Degree Angle and Thick Door Design Actually Do

A standard concealed hinge is built for doors in the 16 to 22mm range, and its cup will not seat cleanly in a thicker door. This hinge uses modified arm geometry and a deeper cup to carry the added door mass without distortion at the bore. The 94-degree opening is not a shortcoming; it is the correct engineering choice for a thick, heavy door. The reduced swing limits the leverage a swinging door puts on the arm and helps the door clear the cabinet front without collision. If your layout has a thick door on a face-frame or frameless box that opens toward a wall, appliance, or adjacent run of cabinets, a controlled opening angle like this one protects the door, the hinge, and whatever is nearby.

The hinge mounts to a Salice base plate on the cabinet side, ordered separately. The plate is Salice-specific, so pair it with a matching plate from this series. The arm connects to the plate with Salice's slide-on engagement, which locks with a set screw rather than a tool-free clip.

Steel Build and a Nickel Finish

The hinge body is steel, finished in nickel. On thick doors, where the hardware carries more weight and the swing exerts more force on every component, the steel construction provides the rigidity the application calls for. Nickel is a neutral finish that coordinates with a broad range of cabinet hardware, from pulls and knobs to drawer slides and catches. Height adjustment of plus or minus 2mm and side adjustment of plus 4.5mm and minus 1.5mm let you bring a run of thick doors to an even reveal without shimming or re-boring.

Where This Hinge Belongs

Specify this hinge for thick cabinet doors on face-frame or frameless cabinets where a 1/2 inch overlay is the design and two doors may meet on a shared center partition. It suits kitchen cabinet shops building raised-panel or slab doors in thicker stock, custom furniture makers working with solid-wood door panels, and contractors replacing hinges on existing thick-door installations. The dowel mounting is well matched to CNC-bored doors where the dowel holes are already in the machining program. For doors in the standard 16 to 22mm range, a standard Series 200 hinge is the right pick. For a fully damped, cushioned close instead of a spring pull, look at the Silentia+ soft-close version within the Salice Series 200 range.

Common Questions

A Thick Door Hung Right, Every Time

When the door is heavy, the stock is thick, and the layout calls for a controlled swing, this hinge delivers the geometry, the strength, and the adjustment to get the job done cleanly.
