Choose cabinet door hinges for kitchen cabinets and furniture by starting with the door and cabinet construction. Concealed hinges sit inside the cabinet when the door is closed; face-fix hinges are fitted differently and suit designs that call for that style of attachment. Check each product's fitting details before ordering.

Choosing the right cabinet hinge

For a full-overlay door, the door covers most of the cabinet side. Half-overlay hinges suit doors sharing a central panel, while inset hinges position the door within the opening. Match the hinge's stated overlay and geometry to your cabinet, rather than choosing by appearance alone.

If a gentle, controlled close matters, browse our soft-close cabinet door hinges with integrated BLUMOTION. A standard sprung hinge does not automatically provide soft close; some models can take a separate damper, which must be checked and purchased separately where applicable. Compare the opening angle with the clearance needed beside adjacent doors and walls. Check the cup-fixing method too: screw-on and INSERTA versions require different door preparation and fittings.

Many concealed hinges need a compatible mounting plate. Match the hinge family, plate height and fixing method to the cabinet, and check each product listing for compatibility. A mounting plate is not assumed to be included with a hinge unless the listing says so.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between full overlay, half-overlay and inset hinges?

Full overlay covers most of the cabinet side, half overlay lets two doors share a panel, and inset positions the door inside the cabinet opening. Check the required overlay and fitting dimensions on the product page.

Are all soft-close cabinet hinges the same?

No. Some hinges have integrated BLUMOTION soft close, while standard hinges may need a separate compatible damper or may not support one. Check the individual listing before ordering.

How do I choose an opening angle and cup fixing?

Choose an opening angle that gives the access you need without striking nearby walls or doors. Match screw-on or INSERTA cup fixing to your door preparation and the specified hinge model.

Do concealed kitchen cabinet door hinges include mounting plates?

Not necessarily. Check the individual product listing and select a compatible plate when one is required; some products are sold with a plate, while others are not.
