1 1/2 in Overlay 105 Degree Soft Close Hinges for Face Frame - Quiet

Our review looks at the 20 pack of 1 1/2 in overlay 105 degree concealed hinges designed for face frame kitchen cabinets. The bottom line: this set is best for DIYers, cabinet refits and contractors who want a cost-effective, adjustable soft-close solution that fits original holes and delivers quiet, smooth closing when it works as intended. The biggest reason to buy is the combination of soft close functionality and 3D adjustability, which together make door alignment straightforward and give a professional finish at a modest price.

Key Features

• 1 1/2 in overlay, 105 degree opening: Provides ample swing for most face frame cabinet doors while matching common overlay requirements.
• 35mm hinge cup: The standard cup diameter and 11.8mm cup depth make these hinges compatible with typical cabinet drilling and replacement jobs.
• Soft Close Damper: Built-in damper mechanism slowly pulls doors closed for quiet operation and reduces slamming.
• 3-way adjustment: Fine-tune door position after installation so doors sit even and gaps are consistent without re-drilling.
• Cold rolled steel, nickel plated: A durable finish that improves strength and offers corrosion resistance in household environments.
• 20-pack with hardware: Includes dowels and matching screws so a full kitchen run can be completed without sourcing extra fasteners.

Who It's For

These hinges suit homeowners doing a cabinet refresh, contractors replacing a large number of hinges, or handyman shoppers who need an economical soft-close upgrade that fits standard hinge cups. The included dowels and screws and the fact many users report a direct fit into original holes make this a practical choice for replacing common face frame hinges.

Shoppers who need commercial-grade hinges for heavy or oversized doors, or who require proprietary OEM matching with exact factory tolerances, should look elsewhere. Also, if flawless soft-close action is critical for every single door without any adjustment, budget hinges can occasionally require tweaking or replacement to achieve perfect performance.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good value: twenty hinges and hardware provide a cost-effective way to update multiple doors.
• Adjustable and forgiving: 3D adjustment makes aligning doors much easier during installation.
• Quiet operation: the soft close damper reduces slamming and feels premium when it works.
• Durable finish: nickel plating on cold rolled steel improves longevity and resists corrosion in normal home use.

Cons

• Some users report inconsistent soft-close action on a small number of hinges, which can require individual adjustment or replacement.
• Not intended for very heavy or custom doors where heavy-duty commercial hinges are required.
