Furniware 1-1/2 in Overlay Soft Close Cabinet Hinges 105 - Smooth

In this review the Furniware 1-1/2 in Overlay Soft Close Cabinet Hinges are evaluated for homeowners and DIYers who need reliable face frame hinges with gentle closing action. The biggest reason to buy is the built-in soft close mechanism combined with 3-way adjustment, which makes aligning doors fast and prevents slamming without special skills. Installed as a set of 20, these hinges are geared toward kitchen runs or multiple cabinet doors where consistent, quiet performance and standard European-style cup dimensions are required.

Key Features

• 3-way adjustment: Vertical, horizontal and depth adjustments let you fine-tune door alignment for uniform gaps and a professional look.
• Soft close mechanism: The high-quality mechanism slowly pulls the door closed to eliminate slams and reduce wear on cabinet frames.
• Standard cup size: 35 mm cup diameter and 11.6 mm cup depth fit common European-style hinge holes for straightforward replacement.
• Face frame fit: 1-1/2 in overlay is designed specifically for face frame cabinets and pairs of doors in the middle of a cabinet run.
• Durable finish: Nickel-plated, cold-rolled steel construction resists daily wear and maintains consistent movement over time.
• Easy installation: Minimal carpentry skills are required, making the set practical for DIY kitchen, wardrobe or TV cabinet upgrades.

Who It's For

These hinges are best for homeowners, remodelers, and weekend DIYers who have face frame cabinets and need an affordable way to add soft close functionality across multiple doors. The pack of 20 fits larger projects such as kitchen cabinet runs, built-in wardrobes, or entertainment units where several matching hinges are required.

Those working with frameless cabinets, nonstandard hole patterns, or who require specialty finishes should look elsewhere, since these hinges are tuned to 1-1/2 in overlay face frames and standard cup dimensions rather than custom or decorative hinge styles.
