Knape and Vogt SAMET soft-close hinge is a concealed cabinet hinge for face frame cabinets that controls door motion for a smooth close. The soft-close mechanism is integrated into the hinge, so door deceleration happens inside the hinge body, which keeps the hardware hidden while delivering controlled motion on everyday use doors. This model is part of the SAMET SUPREME Face Frame Hinge System, so it matches that product family when you need consistent operation across a run of cabinets. The hinge is a 1/2 inch overlay design, so it positions the door to overlap the face frame by that amount in typical face frame layouts. A 105 degree opening angle lets the door swing open wide enough for access while still working within standard cabinet reveals in kitchens, laundry rooms, or shop storage runs.
This hinge is specified for 1/2 inch overlay face frame cabinets, so the door edge is positioned to cover that dimension of the face frame once mounted, which helps achieve a uniform design line. The hinge uses a dowel configuration, so the cup side installs with dowels into the door, which speeds drilling and press-in workflows where that tooling already exists. A 105 degree opening angle gives enough swing to comfortably access cabinet interiors while still respecting the constraints of adjacent cabinets in standard runs. The advanced 6 way adjustment feature supports post-install fine tuning in multiple planes, which lets installers correct small drilling variances and quickly tighten up reveals after the run of doors is up.
This hinge is designed for face frame cabinets, so it fits projects built around a frame-and-panel carcass rather than frameless construction, which makes it a direct match for many North American kitchen and bath layouts. The 1/2 inch overlay model is specified for doors that partially cover the frame, so it suits layouts where visible frame faces are part of the design instead of full overlay faces. Because the hinge is concealed, it mounts inside the cabinet and on the door, which leaves the front elevation clean for painted, stained, or specialty door profiles. The 105 degree opening angle helps in wall and base cabinets where doors need to open generously without interfering as much with adjacent cabinets, appliances, or walls along a continuous run.
The integrated soft-close mechanism is built into the hinge body, so there is no separate damper mounted to the cabinet, which streamlines drilling patterns and keeps the installation focused on the hinge boring pattern. The unlock/lock soft-close system serves optional usage, so the soft-close can be switched according to preference, which lets installers tune door behavior room by room or cabinet by cabinet without changing hinge models. Advanced 6 way adjustment allows movement in several directions at the hinge, which means minor layout variations or drilling tolerance can be corrected quickly with a screwdriver instead of remaking doors. This hinge is described as saving valuable time during the installation of upper cabinets, which directly benefits installers working on ladders or scaffolds where quick adjustments reduce time overhead at height. As part of the SAMET SUPREME Face Frame Hinge System, the KVSHB SOFT 400 keeps motion characteristics, soft-close feel, and adjustment style consistent across large cabinet runs, which simplifies future service visits because the same adjustments apply throughout.
The hinge is designed for face frame cabinets, so it is suited to projects built with a traditional frame front where doors overlay the frame instead of mounting to a frameless side panel.
The hinge is specified as a 1/2 inch overlay model, so it positions the door to cover that amount of the face frame edge in normal cabinet installations.
The hinge has a 105 degree opening angle, so the door swings open widely for interior access while staying within typical clearances along cabinet runs.
The hinge uses an elegant integrated soft-close system to control closing speed, which provides silent and smooth furniture door closing performance during everyday use.
The hinge offers advanced 6 way adjustment, allowing fine tuning of door position in multiple directions, which speeds alignment of reveals and improves finished cabinet appearance.
The unlock or lock soft-close system serves optional usage, so the soft-close function can be set to suit different door closing preferences across a cabinet layout.
This hinge combines a 1/2 inch overlay layout, 105 degree opening angle, and integrated soft-close system, so it supports quiet, controlled motion on face frame cabinet doors. The advanced 6 way adjustment and dowel-based cup installation are designed to save valuable time during installation of upper cabinets and other face frame runs. For projects built around the SAMET SUPREME Face Frame Hinge System, choosing the KVSHB SOFT 400 keeps operation, feel, and adjustment style consistent from cabinet to cabinet.
