1-1/2 in Overlay 3D Soft Close Concealed Hinge 105 - Smooth Self Close

In this review the 20 pack 1-1/2 in overlay 3D soft close concealed hinge is assessed for common kitchen and bathroom cabinet updates; it is best for homeowners or installers who need a reliable soft close hinge that fits standard 35mm cup holes and provides a full 105 degree opening. The single biggest reason to buy is the built-in POM damper that produces a quiet, controlled close and protects doors and fingers from slamming, while the included dowels and self-tapping screws simplify retrofit installations.

Key Features

• Installation specification: The 35mm cup diameter with 11.5mm cup depth and 45mm screw hole spacing matches widely used face frame doors for straightforward fitting.
• Soft close damper: A built-in POM damper reduces closing speed and noise, extending door life and offering a safer small soft close angle to protect fingers.
• 3D adjustability: Up, down, left, right and depth adjustments let you align doors precisely to prevent sagging and ensure smooth operation.
• Durable finish: Double electroplated steel with a satin nickel look and brass-plated bottom improves corrosion resistance and gives a clean cabinet appearance.
• Complete hardware: Each hinge includes 2 easy-on dowels and 3 self-tapping wooden screws for a near-complete retrofit kit per hinge.
• Quality standards: Built to industry tests for longevity and salt spray resistance, giving confidence for long-term use in kitchens and baths.

Who It's For

This hinge set is aimed at DIYers, cabinet makers, and remodelers replacing or upgrading face frame cabinet doors who want a smooth soft close and fine adjustment. The 35mm cup size and 105 degree opening make it suitable for shaker, frameless and many face frame doors when a concealed hinge is needed.

Those who should look elsewhere include people with nonstandard cup sizes or door designs that require specialized mounting plates or zero-gap European style hinges; also large commercial installations with custom duty-cycle requirements may prefer heavy duty commercial hinges.
