HENCH HARDWARE HJ816 clip-on soft closing furniture kitchen hinge
The clip on hinge is the easiest and quickest to fit, without any tools. It is ideal for doors requiring multiple hinges to be fitted – large storage cupboards for example - this is because you simply line the hinge up with the mounting plate and push it on in one simple movement, it will then clip on to be connected to your mounting plate. They require very little alignment and make the job much easier when you have a few hinges to fit. One thing to remember is to line all your hinges up before clipping the first one in place.
Full overlay concealed hinge
A full overlay is the hinge needed when the cabinet/cupboard door sits flush over the front of the unit when it’s closed. This style of hinge is very popular with furniture manufacturers as it completely conceals the cabinet which the doors are attached to.
The hinge will have a straight arm and it allows your cupboard door edge to be completely in line with the edge of your cabinet. One major advantage of a full overlay concealed hinge is that is fully adjustable due to three little screws which it has. They can be fine-tuned to ensure the door frame is totally concealed and fits together perfectly.
Half overlay concealed hinge
A half overlay hinge is very similar to the full overlay hinge however it allows for a door to be mounted either side of a central carcass panel therefore it covers only half of the carcass, allowing a 2nd hinge to cover the other half. The half overlay hinge will have a bend in the arm which will allow the cupboard door edge to cover half of the side panel, leaving the other exposed. You will usually find this sort of hinge in bedroom wardrobes.
Inset concealed hinge
The inset concealed hinge looks very different to the half overlay and full overlay hinges. When the door is closed it sits inside the carcass, as appose to in front of, like the full/half overlay options do. It has a large crank/bend in the arm and this will allow the cupboard door to be inset within the cupboard. The usual place in which you will find this particular hinge would be on solid wood furniture; they will expose the wooden frame around the cupboard door. They are also used on glass doors which you usually see in kitchen display cabinets.
