Motion features like soft closing hinges are becoming increasingly popular because they reduce noise from slamming and make closing a door as easy as a tap, even with full hands in the kitchen. Here are the most popular motion features: Now, what is a full overlay hinge? Before we get to the description, remember that there are three types of hinges that you can choose from when you’re assembling your cabinet and doors. It’s essential to know these three types of hinges as they provide efficient use of your entries. Exposed hinges, like butt hinges, are visible and often intentionally so. They are extremely common in traditional American styles of cabinets and vintage styles. On the other hand, concealed hinges offer a clean exterior look and more contemporary style.

Blind Corner - 95° hinge used where doors open inline with the panel it attaches to, used in corner cupboards. Surface mount hinges act exactly as they sound—they sit on top of the surface of the cabinet material and do not require a hole or mortise to be drilled. Mortise hinges however are recessed into the cabinet and require boring a hole to install. 4. Decide if you want motion featuresFace-Frame: A style of hinge used for doors which are surface mounted onto frontals where 90 degree cabinet sides are not present. Self-open: Simply press the drawer front to pop open the door. Good for modern styles that do not have external cabinet hardware. Wedge the door with even gaps at all sides. The hole should be at least 1/16 inches in measurement. Professional carpenter Ken DeCost prefers the European type of hinge, which is installed on the interior of the cabinet and concealed when the door is closed. European style hinges (designed for frameless cabinets popular in Europe) come in a range of sizes made to fit inset, partial, and full overlay style doors. They offer greater room for adjustments and can support heavier doors.

These hinges are invisible from the outside of the cabinet and can only be seen when you open the cabinet door. They are easy to install, operate reliable, do not alter the look of your cabinets, and are inexpensive. All of these attributes make them very popular, and in fact, they are the most commonly used types of hinges for cabinets in the United States. When choosing the right hinge for your doors and cabinets, the options are limitless. Hinges vary from style to functionality which may widen your options when choosing the right one. Fortunately, your door and cabinet type will immensely help you choose amongst the different varieties of hinges.

A full overlay hinge is suitable for a single cabinet door that covers the whole of its individual cabinet frame. These hinges attach to both the inside of the cabinet door and the inside of the cabinet frame. They cannot be seen from the outside of the cabinet. 8. Pivot Hinge In addition to the most common hinge types, there are many hinges made specifically for restoration projects, more ornate decorative styles, and even hinges just for piano lids. 1. European hinges Pivot hinges are great on cabinets that have inset doors, and you don’t want any of the hinges to be visible. They are commonly found on smaller cabinets or on freestanding pieces of furniture with doors, such as TV units.

Decide if you want hinges concealed or exposed Hidden hinges, as you may have predicted, are those that cannot be seen from the outside of the cabinet. There are various types of hinges that can fit into this category, and the one you need will be decided by your cabinet type. Some hidden hinges will be completely invisible when the door of the cabinet is closed, while some will be low profile and discreet, though not entirely removed from view. C. Heavy Duty

Full overlay cabinet hinges are an excellent choice if you have a furniture cabinet whose front largely covers the front edge of the cabinet's side. This type of furniture hinge will also work when you want to freely open the cabinet door so that it gently slides over the line of the frame. Moreover, the vast majority of full overlay cabinet hinges are known for their durability and reliability. The many types of cabinet hinges vary in size and application but there are two main categories: traditional and European. An inset hinge is typically quite decorative. This is because their design means that one half of the hinge gets fitted to the outside of the cabinet, and therefore can be seen when the door is closed. Inset hinges have one narrow side, and it is this part that will be seen. The other side of the hinge is wide and rectangular or square-shaped and fixes to the inside of the cabinet door. This is a more old-fashioned type of hinge that is commonly seen on kitchen cabinets in older homes. If you choose an inset hinge, pay careful attention to the decorative portion of the hinge because it will be on display. 6. Half Overlay Hinge From the hinge, take out the mounting plate and make sure that the three screw holes are lined up in the middle of the marks you’ve placed, then drill the holes with a self-centering bit. This hinge is so-called because it looks like a long strap, a little like a bandage that attaches the cabinet door to the frame. These are great for larger cabinets or cabinets made from heavy materials because they are able to support a lot of weight. They have two long wings that are joined in the middle. These are common on garden gates and other large doors due to their ability to hold a lot of weight, but they can also work well on cabinets. They come in various designs to suit different styles, as they can be seen from the outside of the cabinet. 12. Wraparound Hinge

Self-close: Available in some concealed hinges. Similar to soft close hinges and draws the door in with even less effort from the user. Full overlay cabinet doors can be used with either face frame or frameless cabinets. These doors cover the entire cabinet box opening, as well as the wood end of the cabinet box. Partial overlay cabinet doors are best with face frame cabinets, though it's not impossible to use partial overlay doors with frameless cabinets. These doors cover the entire cabinet box opening, but the wood edge of the cabinet box is exposed.

If you don’t have these items in your garage, then it’s okay. Call your carpenter and let him do the dirty work for you. But if you do have these items, then it’s time to assemble your whole overlay hinges. Step 1: Place a mark on the door where you will place the hinge base for the cabinet Soft closing hinges are becoming more popular on kitchen cabinets, especially as a feature in high end or modern kitchens. This type of hinge requires the door to be manually pushed close by the user, but just before the cabinet reaches the fully closed position, the hinge itself will take over and slow down the closing process. This results in a ‘soft close,’ preventing the cabinet door from being slammed close, and inhibiting any sound you might usually hear when closing a cabinet door. F. Self-Closing These hinges are fairly inexpensive and should be easy to find in the hardware section of any home store. Take into consideration that some of this hinge will be visible on your cabinet even when the door is closed, so choose a color and finish of metal that you are happy with. 2. Barrel HingeCreate marks going over the line 3 inches away from both the edges at the bottom and top part. This will act as the center for your hinge cup. However, you must remember that the overlay doors and overlay hinges cover slightly less than half of the side of the furniture. This is the reason why full overlay cabinet hinges are mostly used in single kitchen units. By mounting these hinges to a cabinet that consists of a pair of doors, we may have more difficulty in controlling the vertical gap between the two parts of the furniture fronts. A half overlay cabinet is where two doors sit over the top of a frame and meet in the middle. Behind the closing edge of the two doors, at the point where they meet, will be a central post or partitioning wall. These types of cabinet doors require a half overlay hinge, which is attached to the partitioning wall, and allow both doors to open and close snugly against each other without hitting each other. These hinges need to be small to allow them to both fit on the central partition. The look of these hinges is not considered to be important because they won’t be seen when the doors are closed. 7. Full Overlay Hinge Once you’ve finished drilling the holes, situate the cups into the designated holes and secure the screws on each side with a drill bit that has a self-centering feature. The main feature of this type of mounting accessories is that they guarantee a greater extension of the furniture front while keeping it tightly closed when closing the cabinet. As the name suggests, this mechanism works like an overlay. You will notice that the front of the cabinet will slide more forward when opened compared to using the standard, simplest hinges.
