10 Pairs Short Arm Cabinet Hinges 105 Degree Soft Close - 20 Pack

In this review the Ravinte 20 pack of short arm cabinet hinges is evaluated for homeowners and DIY installers who need reliable soft-close hinges for 1/2 in overlay face frame doors. The bottom line: these hinges deliver solid, quiet closing and broad compatibility for many kitchens and bathrooms thanks to a 105 degree opening angle and a 35mm cup that fits common predrilled doors; they are best for anyone replacing multiple hinges at once and who values a discreet, adjustable soft close action.

Key Features

• 105 degree opening: Allows wider access to cabinet interiors while remaining within standard overlay hinge ranges for face frame doors.
• 35mm cup size: The common cup diameter and 11.6mm cup depth fit many predrilled doors for a straightforward replacement.
• Press-in installation: The dowel-style press-in hinge and included extra mounting screws speed up installation for full-cabinet projects.
• Solid steel construction: Heavy-duty materials and a strong damping spring provide a smooth, durable closing motion that resists sag over time.
• Soft self-closing: Built-in damping prevents slamming and gives a controlled close, useful in kitchens, bathrooms, and storage areas.
• Full kit included: The 20-piece hinge pack comes with 40 screws plus two extra mounting screws so you can replace multiple hinges without sourcing hardware.

Who It's For

This kit is ideal for homeowners, cabinet makers, and renovators replacing multiple face frame doors or refitting an entire room, since it supplies 10 pairs of matching concealed hinges and the screws needed for installation. The product suits kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms where quiet, reliable closure matters.

Those who should look elsewhere include people with nonstandard hinge hole spacings or unusual door thicknesses; the manufacturer specifically asks customers to double check existing hole distances (45mm screw hole spacing) and cup size before ordering to ensure compatibility.
