Salice Series 200 155 Degree Soft Close Hinge

Salice Series 200 155 degree hinge is a concealed cabinet hinge designed for doors where wide opening and soft close action are both required. This hinge is a 1/2 inch overlay model in the Salice 200 Series, so it suits cabinet layouts built around that overlay size. The hinge is part of the Salice Silentia soft-close family, which means the soft-close mechanism is integrated into the hinge cup, keeping the hardware hidden when the door is closed. The hinge has a 155 degree opening angle, giving doors a wide swing for better interior access on face-frame or frameless cabinets. As a Silentia plus hinge, it uses a soft-close system designed for a perfect and constant closing of any door in any condition, so closing behavior stays consistent across different door sizes and weights. The hinge is finished in nickel, matching other nickel-plated cabinet hardware commonly used in professional shops.

Key Salice 200 Series Silentia Plus Details

• The integrated Silentia plus soft-close system provides a perfect and constant closing of any door in any condition, which helps installers deliver predictable door behavior without adding separate dampers.
• A built-in activation switch on the Silentia plus hinge delays the decelerating action, allowing the door to reach the ideal decelerating strength so closing speed can better match the specific door application.
• The soft-close mechanism is completely hidden within the hinge cup, keeping the external hardware appearance clean while still controlling door motion on every close cycle.
• The hinge has a cup depth of 13.5 mm, making it compatible with most cabinet door profiles that are bored for a standard European concealed hinge cup depth.
• The hinge cup edge drilling distance can range from 3 mm to 9 mm, giving flexibility in drilling patterns and helping installers adapt the hinge to different door layouts.
• The patented parallel side-to-side adjustment of plus 4.5 mm to minus 1.5 mm through the hinge arm screw allows precise lateral door alignment after mounting, supporting cleaner reveals.

Hinge Mounting, Overlay, And Adjustment Setup

This Salice 1/2 inch overlay hinge is designed as a concealed long arm hinge for cabinet doors where a 1/2 inch overlay layout is specified. The hinge belongs to the concealed cabinet hinges class, so it mounts inside the cabinet and on the back of the door, keeping hinge components out of sight when the door is shut. The hinge uses a dowel press-in cup fastening design option, which lets installers set the cup into pre-bored holes and press the dowels into the door for a secure mechanical connection. The hinge offers parallel side-to-side adjustment from plus 4.5 mm to minus 1.5 mm via a hinge arm screw, allowing the door reveal to be tuned horizontally after installation. This adjustability supports tight alignment across multiple doors on residential and commercial cabinet runs.

Where The Salice Silentia Hinge Performs Best

This Salice Silentia soft close hinge is designed for both residential and commercial cabinets where soft close action is desired, so it can be specified across kitchen, bath, and casework projects that share a 1/2 inch overlay plan. The Series 200 thick door soft-close hinge design provides a 13.5 mm cup depth, which suits many thicker door profiles that still use standard European hinge cup boring. With a 155 degree opening angle, the hinge allows doors to swing wide, which is useful on cabinets where interior access or pull-out hardware benefits from a larger opening. The hinge is part of the European concealed long arm hinge category, so it fits into modern cabinet constructions that rely on clean exterior lines and internal hardware. Being the original cabinet hinge in the Silentia line with integrated soft close, it consolidates closing control and pivot support into a single hinge body on the door.

How Salice 200 Series Details Support Consistent Results

The Series 200 Silentia hinges are designed as the original cabinet hinge with an integrated soft close feature, which reduces dependence on external dampers and simplifies planning for door motion control. Because the soft-close mechanism is completely hidden from view within the hinge cup, the door exterior and cabinet face remain visually consistent across all openings. The Silentia plus system uses a controlled decelerating action, and the activation switch enables the deceleration to start later in the closing cycle, so the door can move freely and then slow in a controlled way, which supports quieter operation in busy cabinet runs. The hinge cup edge drilling distance range of 3 mm to 9 mm gives drilling flexibility, which helps standardize boring patterns across different door widths and overlays in the same project. Lateral adjustment of plus 4.5 mm to minus 1.5 mm through the hinge arm screw lets installers correct reveals without re-boring, helping reduce rework once doors are hung. As a concealed cabinet hinge in nickel finish from Salice America, the C2RKDE9 part number provides a defined configuration that can be repeated across multiple jobs where the same motion profile and overlay are required.
