Hinges for Thick Cabinet Doors
Question
Forum Responses
From contributor D: Just curious - why would you build inset 1 3/4" thick cabinet doors? From the original questioner: I didn't build the doors. The customer wants us to use some antique windows he already has as glass doors and they happen to be 1 3/4" thick. Routing out would be a last resort as it might look a little tacky. From contributor A: Hettich offer several thick door hinge models. The one you are looking for has a 40mm cup and will handle profiled doors to 43mm. Model Intermat 9935 I believe. From contributor E: Salice also has the "F" series for doors up to 1-1/2 inches thick. It is offered in both free swinging and self closing with arm cranks for full overlay doors, partial overlay doors or for inset doors. For a 1 3/4" thick door you would still need to route the back of the door down to 1-1/2". This works well. Also, as with any thick door concealed hinge, the required gap between two doors will increase as the door thickness increases. Salice offers a chart defining the required gap for your door thickness. Thicker doors are very popular in kitchen designs today; especially on the west coast.
