Hinges for thin doors
Hinges for thin doors
Hinges for thin doors are designed for furniture and cabinets where the limited thickness of the door prevents the use of a conventional concealed hinge. Here you will find hinges for both thin wooden doors and doors made from materials such as MDF, HDF, HPL and other special materials.
The range includes Salice Series 100 with an extra-shallow hinge cup for thin wooden doors, as well as Salice Universal for very thin doors and special materials. Depending on the model, features include self-closing and integrated soft close.
Choose the hinge according to door material and thickness
When selecting a hinge, the thickness and material of the door are particularly important. For thin wooden doors, models are available with a shallow Ø 35 mm hinge cup that requires less drilling depth than a conventional concealed hinge. Salice Series 100, for example, has a cup depth of only 8 mm and can be used on wooden doors from 10 mm thick.
For extra-thin doors made from special materials, Salice Universal is available. Its special fixing system allows the hinge to be installed on doors from 8 mm thick and is suitable for materials including HPL, HDF, MDF, metal, ceramic and various composite materials.
Soft-close hinges for thin doors
For applications where smooth and controlled closing is required, models with integrated soft close are available. The damping mechanism is built directly into the hinge and slows the door during the final stage of closing.
Check drilling depth and mounting plate
Because thin doors provide less space for the hinge cup, the correct drilling depth is essential. Always check the product's technical dimensions and recommended minimum door thickness before machining. The hinges are combined with a suitable mounting plate depending on the required door position and cabinet construction.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hinges for Thin Cabinet Doors
Which hinges are available for thin cabinet doors?
The category includes Universal hinges for thin doors made from special materials and Salice Series 100 hinges with a cup drilling depth of only 8 mm for thin wooden doors.
How thin can the door be?
Salice Universal hinges can be fitted to doors made from special materials with a minimum thickness of 8 mm. Series 100 hinges with an 8 mm deep cup can be used on wooden doors from 10 mm thick. Always check the dimensions of the selected model.
What does an 8 mm cup drilling depth mean on Series 100?
It means that the recess for the hinge cup only needs to be 8 mm deep. This makes Series 100 suitable for thin wooden doors where a hinge with a deeper cup cannot be used.
Which materials can Universal hinges be used with?
Universal hinges are designed for thin doors made from special materials such as metal, ceramic, cement-based materials, quartz composites, HPL, HDF and MDF.
Can a standard concealed hinge be used on a thin door?
Not always. A standard concealed hinge often requires a deeper recess for the hinge cup. For a thin door, the drilling depth and fixing system must suit the thickness and material of the door.
Are the hinges available with soft close?
Yes, models with integrated soft close are available. The function varies between Universal hinges and Series 100 models, so always check the individual product description.
What opening angle do the hinges provide?
Universal hinges have a 110° opening angle, while Series 100 hinges open to 105°. A compatible opening angle restrictor is available for certain models.
Which mounting plate should be used?
The mounting plate depends on the hinge model, door position and required overlay. Universal hinges are compatible with traditional Salice Series 200 mounting plates and Domi snap-on mounting plates.
Is the mounting plate included with the hinge?
No. A mounting plate is never included when purchasing a hinge and must always be ordered separately.
What should be checked before installation?
Check the door thickness and material together with the hinge drilling depth, drilling pattern, fixing method and opening angle. Always follow the installation instructions for the selected model.
