The Hardware Resources Hinges 500 Series is a concealed European cabinet hinge program built around a self-closing, cam-adjustable mechanism. The 500 Series is functional hardware, chosen by cabinet builders for fit and motion rather than for the door pull it sits behind, and its breadth of angles is what defines the line.
What identifies the 500 Series
These are cup-style concealed hinges with a self-close action and cam adjustment for aligning doors after install. The range covers full overlay, partial overlay, and inset applications, plus corner versions: pie corner, blind corner inset, and corner overlay. Opening angles run from 45 and 90 degrees through 105, 110, 125, and a wide 170-degree option for cabinets that need the door to clear fully. Dowel options include press-in 8mm dowels, easy-fix dowels, or no dowels for screw-on mounting, so the same hinge family suits different boring setups.
Buying considerations
The 500 Series fits frameless and face-frame cabinetry across kitchens, baths, and built-ins where consistent door motion and quiet closing matter to the finished job. Match the overlay type to your cabinet construction first, then pick the opening angle the layout needs, using the 170-degree hinge where a drawer or pull-out sits behind the door and must clear. Choose the dowel style to suit your boring setup, since press-in dowels speed repeatable installs on a production run. Cam adjustment lets you true the doors after hanging, so plan for that fine-tuning step rather than expecting perfect alignment off the bench. This is a function line, not a decorative one, so pair it with whatever visible hardware the design calls for and size hinge count to door weight and height.

Frequently Asked Questions
What overlay types and opening angles does the Hardware Resources 500 Series cover?
The 500 Series includes full overlay, partial overlay, and inset hinges, plus corner variants such as pie corner, blind corner inset, and corner overlay. Opening angles span 45, 90, 105, 110, 125, and 170 degrees, so the line covers everything from standard cabinet doors to layouts where the door must swing completely clear of a pull-out or drawer behind it.
How does the 500 Series differ from decorative exposed hinges for cabinet doors?
The 500 Series is a concealed European cup hinge that mounts inside the cabinet and is invisible when the door is closed, making the hinge itself irrelevant to the room's visual design. Decorative exposed hinges, such as surface-mount butt or strap hinges, are visible on the door face and contribute directly to the cabinet's style, but typically do not offer the same cam-adjustment or self-close mechanism that cup hinges provide.
What is cam adjustment on the 500 Series, and why does it matter during installation?
Cam adjustment is a built-in tuning mechanism on the hinge plate that lets an installer shift a door left, right, up, or down after it is hung, without removing and re-drilling the hinge. This matters because cabinet boxes and doors rarely come off the bench in perfect alignment; cam adjustment absorbs those small tolerances so doors sit flush and gaps are consistent across a run of cabinets.
Which dowel mounting option should a cabinet builder choose for production installs?
The 500 Series offers press-in 8mm dowels, easy-fix dowels, and a screw-on no-dowel option. Press-in 8mm dowels are the fastest choice for production runs because they drop into standard 8mm boring patterns and seat consistently without additional fasteners, whereas screw-on mounting suits shops that do not use a dedicated boring machine or are retrofitting hinges to an existing cabinet.
