One of the Most Important Parts of Your Cabinet
Without hinges, no kitchen cabinet can be complete. And whether you opt for decorative hinges that complement the rest of your kitchen’s hardware, or hinges that are concealed within the cabinet, you need to know that your cabinets will function the way they were meant to. That’s why we carry such a wide selection of hinge types and styles. From self-closing hinges that prevent slamming to demountable hinges that allow you to remove the doors easily for cleaning, we have the hinge styles you’re looking for.
Finish and Appearance or Function and Style
Cabinet hinges are often overlooked by most homeowners. With the many options for finish, style, and function available, however, they don’t need to be.
When it’s time to purchase your hinges, find the ones that will complement your cabinets the best. From strap and H-style hinges on beadboard and Country-style doors, to concealed, clip-on hinges in contemporary kitchens, your new cabinet hinges should blend into the rest of the design.
Shop for your hinges by style first; choose from H-style, full and partial wrap hinges, face mount and flush mount hinges, demountable hinges, butt hinges, and strap hinges. Once you’ve selected your style, go deeper by function. Look for features like self-closing hinges, clip-on hinges, and anti-slam hinges to improve the function of your cabinets. Finally, look at the finish of your hinges. Match your surface, flush, face mount, H, and strap hinges to your cabinet knobs and pulls for the most cohesive looking cabinet design. And just because your concealed hinges don’t show doesn’t mean that their finish shouldn’t matter either; match this finish to the rest of the metal in the kitchen, whether your appliances, sink, faucet, or knobs so nothing clashes when the cabinets open.
If your cabinet hinges don’t function the way they should, your cabinets won’t get the kind of use you need. Give them the focus they deserve and choose the hinges that best match your cabinets, needs, and design so they work as part of your whole kitchen.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between overlay and inset hinges?
An overlay hinge lets the door sit over the cabinet opening, and the listing states how much of the frame the door covers, such as 1/4 inch or 1/2 inch. An inset hinge sits the door flush inside the opening. Check how your doors sit now, and measure the overlay on the hinge you are replacing before you order.
Do I need face-frame or frameless hinges?
Face-frame cabinets have a solid frame around the opening, and their hinges mount to that frame. Some are visible face mount styles and some are concealed. Frameless, European-style cabinets have no frame, so their concealed hinges mount inside the box. Check the front edge of the cabinet box to see which you have, then choose a hinge listed for it.
What are demountable hinges?
Demountable hinges let you remove a cabinet door without unscrewing the hinge from the frame, which makes cleaning or refinishing the door easier. Match the type to how your doors sit, overlay or inset, and to the amount of overlay. Demountable is separate from self-closing, which is the feature that pulls the door shut for you.
