Thick Door Inset Hinge With Soft-Close for Face-Frame and Frameless Cabinets

This Salice Series 200 hinge is built for inset doors on thick cabinet fronts, bringing Silentia soft-close and a 94-degree swing to both face-frame and frameless applications where a standard cup depth would not seat correctly.

Key Features

• Thick door cup geometry seats the 35mm cup at a 13.5mm depth, the extra clearance a heavier door panel needs.
• Silentia soft-close damps the door over the final closing arc so it settles quietly without impact.
• Inset overlay positions the door flush inside the cabinet opening with an even reveal on all sides.
• 94-degree opening angle is the correct swing for a thick inset door clearing the cabinet front without binding.
• Expanding dowel mount presses into bored dowel holes for a firm, screw-free plate connection.
• Works on both face-frame and frameless cabinets when paired with the matching Salice base plate, sold separately.

The Right Hinge for a Thick Inset Door

An inset door sits flush inside the cabinet opening, framed by a narrow, even reveal on every edge. Getting that look right on a thick door panel requires a hinge that accounts for the extra mass: a deeper cup seat, modified arm geometry to keep the door from binding as it swings, and a reduced opening angle that lets the door arc clear without catching the cabinet face. The 94-degree swing here is the correct engineering for that condition, not a shortcoming. The 35mm cup bores into the door at a 13.5mm depth, and the arm connects to a Salice base plate mounted to the cabinet. That plate is a separate purchase, matched to your cabinet construction and the Salice Series 200 system.

Steel Build With Silentia Damping

The hinge is plated steel in a nickel finish. The Silentia soft-close mechanism is integrated into the hinge body, so no separate add-on damper is needed. On an inset door, where the tolerances are tight and the door face sits close to the cabinet frame, soft-close earns its place: it absorbs the energy at the end of the closing arc so the door settles into its reveal rather than snapping shut against it. The expanding dowel mount anchors the base plate with a mechanical press-fit into bored dowel holes, giving a solid connection without relying on screws alone.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

This hinge suits cabinet shops and finish carpenters working on projects where thick door stock and a flush inset look appear together, whether on a frameless euro box or a traditional face-frame case. It covers both cabinet types, so the same hinge works across a mixed run. If your door is standard thickness in the 16 to 22mm range, a standard concealed hinge is the right pick. This one is for the thicker panels that need the deeper cup and the modified swing geometry to close correctly.

Flush Inset Results on Thick Stock, Without the Slam

When the design calls for flush inset doors on thick panels, this hinge delivers the geometry, the damping, and the plate connection to make it work cleanly on either cabinet type.
