Cupboard Hinge Buying Guide

Which type of cupboard hinge do I need?

Concealed cabinet hinges, also known as European hinges, sit inside the cabinet and provide a clean appearance. They are commonly adjustable in three directions. Butt and H hinges are suitable for traditional and period furniture where the hinge remains visible.

What is the difference between inset, half-overlay and full-overlay hinges?

The correct hinge depends on how the cabinet door sits against the cabinet. Inset doors sit within the cabinet frame, while full-overlay doors cover the cabinet side panel. Half-overlay doors partially cover the panel and are commonly used where two doors share the same cabinet side.

Do I need soft-close cupboard hinges?

Soft-close cabinet hinges slow the door during closing to help prevent slamming. They are particularly popular for kitchen cupboards and frequently used furniture doors. Check whether the hinge includes soft-close or is compatible with a separate soft-close mechanism.

What are sprung cabinet hinges?

Sprung cabinet hinges use spring tension to assist with closing the door. They are available in different configurations, so check the hinge type and cabinet door construction before ordering.

What size cupboard hinge do I need?

For concealed hinges, check the required cup diameter, cup depth, overlay and fixing position. For butt and other visible hinges, check the hinge height, width, thickness and fixing dimensions against your existing cabinet door.

Which finish should I choose?

Brass cupboard hinges and polished finishes work well with traditional and period furniture, while nickel-plated and steel concealed hinges suit modern kitchens and cabinets where the hinge is designed to remain hidden.

Can I replace existing cupboard hinges?

Yes, but the replacement hinge must match the existing door preparation, mounting plate, fixing positions and overlay. For concealed hinges, check the cup size and drilling pattern carefully before ordering.
