Inset door hinge that clears opening completely

10/28/20       
Peter M.

Hey folks, we have a design we are working on where we need a door hinge that works in an inset configuration that will allow a pullout at close proximity to the edge of the face frame. Our face frame is flush with the cabinet side wall. I was kinda shocked to hear that Blum does not make a hinge like this. Have any of you found an alternate hinge source that will allow an 7/8" thick inset door to open completely clear of the door opening? Open to suggestions...

Assuming you have room to open them all the way back, you may need to drop back to something older than the euro type like butt or knife hinges, like in the link.

The Blum 155º no protrusion hinge won't work for you?

Gentlemen,

Put your thinking caps on for a moment. What you are asking is impossible for an inset door with any hinge brand. The door would have to first open, then somehow magically move forward, then sideways (7/8+) to clear the opening.

Spacing the slides, with something like the Century Components X-Bracket, for the rollouts to clear the door would be your only (reasonable) option. Building a faux-inset design may be another option.

Best of luck,

Would a 175 degree euro hinge work ?

Thank you for the comments, I had considered the zero protrusion non bore hinge but had not done an inset thick door setup this way. I have not looked at the 175 degree hinge but I will. I spoke again to Blum and they said that the only way to make it work is with the straight arm 71B9550 euro hinge and the 173H7100 zero plate in a reverse configuration with the cup machined 7mm back on the cabinet face frame/sidewall to edge of 35mm hole, and the plate mounted on the door 37mm from the edge of the door to the screw holes apparently. I have ordered these hinges and will make a quick mock up to see how it works/looks. Aside from that our only other option is some of the sugatsune mortised adjustable concealed hinges like the HES3D-70DC or similar which are like the tectus style door hinges only smaller. We have ordered a set of these now and will see which works and looks better. Open to any further options as we have to fix this issue before we can install these cabinets. Thank you for the assistance.

I would agree that putting the hinge in backwards would work. I have seen this done on some individual pieces of furniture but never an entire kitchen.

Thanks guys, we are waiting on delivery of the sugatsune and will be mocking up a solution. This is not for a kitchen it is just two cabinet doors in a sort of strange setup but we still need to get it right.

Thank you Peter M. for your solution above! For anyone finding this thread in the future, I want to share my experience doing this:

Using a straight arm hinge backwards (cup on the cabinet instead of the door) absolutely DOES work.

I believe that any straight arm hinge and 0mm mounting plate will work. I used a standard 110 degree Blumotion hinge (71B3550) and plate 173L6100.

The location of the cup is SUPER important and sensitive. If the cup is set too far back in the cabinet, then the hinge arm will not clear the frame. If the cup is too close to the frame, then the door will stick out from the frame when closed. Thank goodness the hinge itself allows minor adjustments, but it is still critical that the cup is very close to 7mm from the frame edge (cup center is 24.5mm from frame edge).

The end result is basically zero protrusion. The hinge protrudes maybe 1/4 or 3/8" from the cabinet side. If you want to install a pull out drawer, I would plan for 1/2" clearance to be safe. This is much less protrusion than if you installed them normally.

Thanks man but it was not my idea as I said Blum told me that it would work and it did. You are correct however about the precise placement it is critical there is not much adjustment this way it seems. Good luck my friend.

  • WOODWEB is a professional industrial woodworking site. Hobbyist and homeowner woodworking questions are inappropriate.
  • Messages should be kept reasonably short and on topic, relating to the focus of the forum. Responses should relate to the original question.
  • A valid email return address must be included with each message.
  • Advertising is inappropriate. The only exceptions are the Classified Ads Exchange, Machinery Exchange, Lumber Exchange, and Job Opportunities and Services Exchange. When posting listings in these areas, review the posting instructions carefully.
  • Subject lines may be edited for length and clarity.
  • "Cross posting" is not permitted. Choose the best forum for your question, and post your question at one forum only.
  • Messages requesting private responses will be removed - Forums are designed to provide information and assistance for all of our visitors. Private response requests are appropriate at WOODWEB's Exchanges and Job Opportunities and Services.
  • Messages that accuse businesses or individuals of alleged negative actions or behavior are inappropriate since WOODWEB is unable to verify or substantiate the claims.
  • 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.
  • Responses that initiate or support inappropriate and off-topic discussion of general politics detract from the professional woodworking focus of WOODWEB, and will be removed.
  • Participants are encouraged to use their real name when posting. Intentionally using another persons name is prohibited, and posts of this nature will be removed at WOODWEB's discretion.

    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.
