Key Features

• 3-way adjustment: The hinges allow fine alignment after fitting so doors sit flush and gaps are corrected without removing the hardware.
• Solid steel construction: Concealed steel bodies and a strong spring are designed for long-lasting operation and steady performance under daily use.
• Compatibility: Designed specifically for a 1/2 in overlay face frame cabinet with a 105 degree opening angle, making selection straightforward for that common cabinet type.
• Value pack: Twenty hinges (10 pairs) give enough hardware for larger jobs at a per-hinge cost that customers noted as good value for money.
