Help finding a hinge please.

10/18/18       
BH Davis  Member

I need to find some sort of rear mounted cabinet hinges with no to minimal face exposure for the doors in the attached drawing.

These are inset doors but do not have the standard 3/8" x 3/8" edge rabbet detail.

Anyone have any ideas? Or perhaps it doesn't exist.

Thanks,
BH Davis

What would happen if you tried using blums half-cranked special application hinge. Maybe change the boring distance and hinge plate setback? Just throwing it out there.

Thanks Eddie. That's exactly the type of suggestion I was hoping to receive.

Salice makes a different articulating hinge that does odd things. I used them on a similar rebated door 15 years ago.

Hey BH,

Adam is correct. We do indeed have a hinge specifically designed for this application. This is the B Series hinge for profile edge doors.

Your local distributor should have them in stock.

Here is a copy of our catalog page showing this and an example of an application similar to yours.

Please let us know if we can be of assistance.

Best of luck,

Dennis

Dennis,

I realized after the fact that I neglected to mention this is a face frame situation. Does that make it a dead end for using your hinge?

Thanks,
BH

You're not at a dead end yet if you are able to block our behind the face frame flush then hinge the door like a frameless cabinet.

Dennis,

That probably isn't going to fly as some of the doors hinge to a center vertical stile. I don't think adding a vertical backup board the same width of that stile is going to be acceptable........but I'll check it out.

Thanks,
BH

I think Rockler still makes a mounting plate that you dont have to block out flush for but they are very expensive. I always wondered why Salice did not make a plate like this?? Dennis?..

Can you use a hospital tip hinge with the barrel exposed?

I did think about that rear-mount face frame hinge but the ones I'd seen were even bigger than the one at the link below. And it turns out it is a Salice hinge/base setup.....at least this one.

Dennis.........do you think that would work with the larger edge rabbet ?

Pat.......thanks for the hospital tip hinge suggestion. Perhaps I'm not finding the right thing but it looks like you need a full inset / flush door for those. That is what is in place now and the owner wants to go to the 3/8" inset look.

I've figured out how to pull this off IF the owner is willing to compromise somewhat.

1) Youngdale hinge if they are willing to have a 5/8" thick exposed door edge instead of the typical 3/8" thick edge.

2) Not really what they were looking for but a full overlay if they are willing to have a 1" thick square door edge.

Both these IF options are dependent upon the amount of existing counter overhang above these cabinet doors. I'll be checking with them on that.

Thanks everyone.

I've been away from my computer for a few days. Regarding the Rockler platform, they have that piece made exclusively for them and only sell it as part of a kit that includes our B series hinge and a 6mm mounting plate.

We did look at producing this but the quantities to produce this efficiently are too large compared to the possible number of customers who would be using it. We simply suggest building the side flush with the frame.

Question #2: Larger end rabbet? I don't think that would help. It's not the rabbet that is an issue.

Pat,

Thanks for the photo. Now that I see it I recall that I have run into those in the past.

I saw the owner over the weekend and have been given the go ahead to do whatever is needed. That resolves the problem as I can now work out a plan that uses standard face frame hidden hinges.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

  • Posts with the intent of soliciting answers to surveys are not appropriate. Contact WOODWEB for more information on initiating a survey.
  • Excessive forum participation by an individual upsets the balance of a healthy forum atmosphere. Individuals who excessively post responses containing marginal content will be considered repeat forum abusers.

    WOODWEB's forums are a highly regarded resource for professional woodworkers. Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums.

    Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top).

    Libel:   Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous.

    Improper Decorum:   Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top).

    Advertising:   The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top).

    Repeated Forum Abuse: Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages.

    There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).

    The staff of WOODWEB assume no responsibility for the accuracy, content, or outcome of any posting transmitted at WOODWEB's Message Boards.
