Are you confident enough to bore hinge pockets into your brand new cabinet doors? If you’re not sure about any of it, or if you just want to save yourself some time and worry, Cabinetdoors.com can make the hinge installation process easier. With any cabinet door order, we can bore the hinge cups for concealed cabinet door hinges for you before delivery, ensuring they’re in the correct location. And we can save you even more time and money by supplying hinges with your order too.

Why Should You Order Concealed Cabinet Door Hinges?

When you order new cabinet doors for your space, it’s often a good idea to order new hinges for your cabinet doors as well. If your doors are out of date or worn out, chances are that your hinges are as well. Additionally, older hardware might not work as well—functionally or aesthetically—with your brand new doors. So why not replace them with top quality, modern soft-close concealed hinges?

Blum Soft-Close Hinges are ideal for installation by professionals and homeowners alike because these hinges don’t require tools or screws. The hinge is simply placed in the hinge pocket and aligned. The expansion mechanism expands inside the door to lock the hinge securely into the hinge pocket.

Typically, two hinges are used per cabinet door, though larger cabinet doors may require three concealed hinges. Any cabinet door over 48″ tall may have a third hingepocket bored in the door center point as three hinges are recommended for doors over 48″ in height.

To mount the door onto your cabinets, you’ll use one mounting plate per hinge used on your cabinet door. These mounting plates, included with your hinges, can be installed using the provided screws to attach the mounting plates to your cabinet face frame. An adapter plate can be provided for face-frame cabinets with an 1/2″ overlay.

Once your cabinet doors are installed, you can enjoy the soft-close function of the Blum concealed hinges. You won’t ever have to worry about family members slamming cabinet doors or get frustrated by doors that won’t close properly again. Instead, these hinges will catch the door as it closes to bring it slowly and softly into contact with the cabinet frame face.
