A cabinet hinge is a type of hardware used to connect the door of a cabinet to the body of the cabinet. The hinge consists of two plates, one attached to the door and the other to the cabinet body, which are connected by a pin or a rod. The hinge allows the door to swing open and closed, while also providing support to the weight of the door. There are many different types of cabinet hinges, including concealed hinges, surface-mounted hinges, and overlay hinges. The choice of hinge will depend on the design of the cabinet, the weight of the door, and the desired level of visibility for the hinge. Concealed hinges are typically used for modern or minimalist cabinets where the hinge is hidden from view when the door is closed. Surface-mounted hinges are more visible and are typically used for traditional cabinets. Overlay hinges are used when the door is larger than the cabinet opening, as they allow the door to overlap the cabinet opening. When selecting a cabinet hinge, it is important to choose a high-quality hinge that is strong enough to support the weight of the door and durable enough to withstand frequent use. Hinges should also be properly installed to ensure they function correctly and to prevent damage to the cabinet or door.
