What Are The Types Of Cabinet Door Hinges

Sep 13, 2021

The types of cabinet door hinges are: large bend, middle bend, straight hinge

The difference between hinges (large bending, middle bending, straight hinge)

Fully-covered (straightly curved) door panels completely cover the side panels of the cabinet, with a gap between the two so that the door can be opened smoothly.

 

In this case, the two doors share one side panel. There is a required minimum gap between them. The covering distance of each door is correspondingly reduced, requiring the use of hinges with bent arms.

Built-in (big bend) In this case, the door is located inside the cabinet, next to the cabinet side panel. It also needs a gap so that the door can open smoothly. A hinge with a very curved arm is required.

 

To put it simply, the full cover is also called a straight arm, which means that you cannot see your side panels when the door is closed. The middle bend is also called a half cover type. It is generally used for opening the door on the left and right. When the door is closed, half of the side panels are visible. It is called embedded, or without cover, and the side panel can be seen when the door is closed. This is determined according to the location of your cabinet, that is to say, it is determined by the person or carpenter you design.
