What Are Concealed Hinges?

Concealed hinges (also known as invisible hinges, hidden hinges, and Euro hinges) are hinges that are placed flush inside the cabinet door to conceal the position of the hinge. People like using hidden hinges because they can provide a smooth surface for the appearance of the kitchen cabinet. There are many different types of concealed hinges with various appearances and uses.

Advantages of Concealed Hinges

There are many advantages of concealed hinges when being used in cabinets. Apart from their purely aesthetic value, their main benefit is that it is easy to adjust the position of the cabinet door by turning the adjustment screws of the hinge. They are commonly used for entrance doors, interior doors, cabinets, and furniture. These types of hinges are used in almost every home. The significant advantages of concealed hinges are as follows.

• Invisible

As its name suggests, a concealed hinge has a perfect design to be “invisible.” When you close the cabinet, you will not see the hinge at all. The hinge is completely hidden and is not exposed to the outside of the cabinet, which avoids oxidation and keeps out dust.

• Self-closing

When selecting concealed hinge, professional hinge dealers or wholesalers will also consider the force structure of the hinge. In this perspective, cabinet door hinges can be divided into two common types: one-way and two-way. They are self-closing when the door is pushed to a certain angle without any additional effort. Some cabinet doors that are not fitted with these hinges will not close completely and won’t stay closed.

• Adjustable

There are three ways to adjust cabinet concealed hinges: the side-to-side adjustment, the up and down adjustment, and the in and out adjustment. To learn more, please refer to the guide on how to adjust self-closing cabinet hinges.

• Silent

As the BMW of hinges, the concealed hinge can be used in many places. It can not only be self-closing but also soft-closing. The way we distinguish the type is to see whether the hinge is equipped with a hydraulic mechanism. Hydraulic concealed hinges ensure that the doors close silently and prevent a bang. It is useful and necessary in homes with newborn children.

• Easy to install and remove

Are concealed hinges easy to install? How do you adjust the concealed hinge? How do you install a concealed hinge? As long as you have a screwdriver, you can solve all of them. After all, it will cost you a lot in developed countries like the USA to hire a professional staff.

What Are Concealed Hinges Used For?

As mentioned above, a concealed hinge can effectively prevent itself from oxidation and dust. If you want your cabinets to look clean, choose concealed hinges and you will save a lot of time cleaning. Concealed hinges are more popular in frameless or face-frame cabinets in European-style kitchens and bathrooms. However, if you are very concerned about the price, then it may not be an ideal option for you. It retails at a higher price than traditional hinges.

Of course, if you are a supplier, then the price is not a disadvantage of concealed hinges. You can get factory prices from a factory like Venace. The more your purchase volume is, the cheaper the price you can get.

Which Concealed Hinge Should You Use?

Following this guide, you can solve the confusion of which concealed hinge to choose in 2 steps.

(1) Consider the structure of your cabinet

There are two types of cabinets: face-frame cabinets and frame-less cabinets. A face-frame cabinet is also called an American cabinet. It is a type of cabinet with a frame fixed to the cabinets’ front edges. The face-frame hinges are mounted on the frame. Frameless cabinets, on the other hand, are cabinets with an open front. They are sometimes called European-style cabinets, inside which the hinges are mounted.

(2) Consider the type of cabinet door

There are three common types of cabinet door: Full Overlay, Half Overlay, Inset

• Full overlay

There will be a relatively large angle between the door panel and the side panel when the door is open. Such type of door can cover completely the cabinet box. For full overlay doors, one of the most common hinges is a full overlay concealed hinge.

• Half overlay

In half overlay, there is a visible gap between the door and the side of the cabinet. When the door is closed, a half overlay cabinet door covers most of the cabinet box. And it leaves the edge of the cabinet face frame exposed when the door is open. Half overlay cabinets are usually the cheapest type. For these doors, half overlay concealed hinges are the ideal options.

• Inset

An inset cabinet consists of an exposed inside cabinet face frame and a flush door. As with full overlay doors, there is no gap when the door is closed. It provides a smooth and “hidden” front when the cabinet door is closed. For inset cabinets, you can use an inset concealed hinge to fit the frame and the cabinet box.
