This Amerock concealed bi-fold hinge is built for frameless cabinet doors that fold in two panels, with integrated soft-close to settle each fold quietly without slamming.
A bi-fold cabinet door folds at its center, with two panels that hinge together and swing as one unit. Getting a quiet, controlled close on that fold takes a hinge built for the geometry, and this one is. The 165 degree opening clears the full cabinet width when the panels fold flat, which is the clearance that makes bi-fold doors useful on appliance garages, pantry cabinets, and any box where a standard swing door would land in the way. The 35mm cup bores into the door panel, and the hinge connects to a separate base plate mounted to the cabinet side, ordered separately. Plates are brand-specific, so pair this hinge with a compatible Amerock plate.
The hinge body is steel with a nickel finish. Steel carries the mechanical load of a folding door through its full range of motion without flex, and the nickel finish holds up to the repeated contact of daily use. At a projection of just 1/16 inch, the hinge sits close to the door surface and stays unobtrusive even on doors where the hardware is visible when open.
This hinge suits frameless cabinet construction where the doors fold rather than swing. It is a practical specification for designers and cabinet shops working on appliance garages, compact pantry doors, and built-ins where the bi-fold format keeps door swing out of a tight walkway or work zone. Because it is screw-on, it anchors securely without relying on pre-drilled 5mm system holes, which is useful on frameless boxes that are not built on the 32mm system. Standard door thickness of 16 to 22mm applies here; for panels outside that range, confirm fit before specifying.
No. The hinge connects to a base plate that mounts to the cabinet side, and that plate is sold separately. Use a compatible Amerock plate; plates are brand-specific and will not interchange with other manufacturers.
Soft-close uses a built-in damper to slow the panels as they approach closed, so they settle quietly rather than snapping shut. Self-close uses a spring to pull the door shut. This hinge damps the close; it does not spring-pull it.
This product is sold as a pair, covering a single bi-fold door. For taller or heavier panels, consult the manufacturer load guidance to confirm the pair is sufficient or whether additional hardware is needed.
The 165 degree swing is the angle the panels reach when fully open. On a bi-fold door the panels fold against each other rather than swinging into the room, so wall clearance is less of a concern than with a standard swing door. Confirm the folded panel stack clears any adjacent obstruction before installing.
Specify this hinge when the project calls for bi-fold cabinet doors that open wide, close quietly, and stay out of the way.
