1. What Is a concealed hinge?

On entry and interior doors, cabinets, and furniture, concealed hinges, also known as invisible, hidden, and European, are employed. They've existed for quite some time. For more than a century, Soss, a well-known brand, has been producing them.

2. What Are Their Benefits?

They offer a smooth, unbroken appearance that is aesthetically pleasant because they are not visible from the outside. Because they can't be tampered with from the outside, they also give security. Additional advantages of European-style hinges, which are commonly used in cabinetry and furniture, include: Because you can modify the way a door hangs after installation, they're more forgiving than standard hinges because minor construction flaws may be accommodated. Soft-close hinges are also available on several European-style hinges. They also contain a mechanism that allows cabinet doors to be removed without removing the hinge.

3. When Should You Use concealed hinges?

When you want a cleaner look for your cabinets, furniture, and doors, choose concealed hinges. The European style, which can be utilised on frameless or face-frame cabinets, is popular in kitchens and bathrooms. For beauty and security, concealed hinges are also utilised on entry and interior doors. However, their allure comes at a cost. Because they're more expensive than ordinary hinges (ranging from $5 to hundreds of dollars depending on the application), they're only utilised when the finished appearance of a door or cabinet is critical.

4. Which Hidden hinge Should I Pick?

The sort of hidden hinge you require is determined on the application.

The European-style concealed hinge you choose for cabinets (or furniture) is determined by the cabinet's construction:

• Full overlay hinge: For single cabinets or cabinets at the end of a row.

When two doors share the same partition, a half overlay hinge is used.

• Inset hinge: For cabinet doors that are flush with the cabinet face
