Nickel Soft-Close Hinge for Face-Frame and Frameless Cabinets

This Salice Series B Silentia hinge brings integrated soft-close to overlay doors on both face-frame and frameless cabinets, finished in nickel for a clean, hardware-forward look that holds up in daily use.

Key Features

• Silentia integrated soft-close cushions the door over the final closing arc so it settles without slamming.
• 110 degree opening delivers the standard swing for everyday cabinet access.
• Screw-on mounting fastens directly to the cabinet with wood screws, no system holes required.
• Works on face-frame and frameless cabinets, giving one hinge choice across mixed project conditions.
• Side and height adjustment lets you dial doors to an even reveal after the cabinet is in place.
• Nickel finish on steel coordinates with brushed and satin hardware across the room.

Thin Doors, Quiet Close, Two Cabinet Types

The SAP designation points to 8mm door stock, making this the right hinge when you are working with thin cabinet doors that a standard-depth cup would perforate. The 35mm cup bores into the door at a 9mm depth, preserving the face of a thinner panel. From there, the arm connects to a base plate mounted to the cabinet, ordered separately, and the Silentia damper takes over at the end of the closing arc. On a face-frame box the plate fastens to the stile; on a frameless box it goes to the side panel. Either way, the screw-on mounting means no pre-drilled 5mm system holes are needed, which makes this hinge practical on custom shop work and site-built cabinets alike.

Nickel Finish and a Build Sized for Thin Stock

Steel construction gives the hinge the rigidity the closing cycle demands. The nickel finish sits in the middle of the hardware spectrum, pairing cleanly with satin nickel pulls, bar knobs, and brushed steel appliances without competing for attention. Because the finish and the soft-close mechanism are doing different jobs, the hinge works well in kitchens and baths where the visible hardware is nickel and the cabinet doors are on the thinner side of the standard range.

Who Reaches for This Hinge

Cabinet shops specifying a nickel soft-close hinge for a thin-door run will find the shallow cup depth here is not an afterthought. Designers coordinating a nickel hardware package across face-frame and frameless boxes in the same kitchen can use one SKU throughout. Contractors working on renovation installs where the existing cabinet boxes are a mix of framed and frameless will appreciate screw-on mounting that does not depend on the cabinet having a line-bore grid. For doors in the standard 16 to 22mm thickness range, the full-depth Series 200 or 700 Silentia line is the better starting point.
