Product Information
Full details
These B&Q 165-degree soft close hinges are ideal for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to upgrade their kitchen cabinetry, wardrobes, or sideboards with a premium, silent-closing action. They offer a significant upgrade in convenience and longevity thanks to their robust hydraulic damping system, though they are specifically engineered for frameless cabinet designs, which may limit their compatibility with traditional face-frame structures.

FAQs
Are these hinges suitable for face-frame cabinets?
These hinges are specifically designed for frameless cabinets. Using them on face-frame cabinetry may require additional mounting plates or spacers.
Do these hinges come with the mounting plates?
Yes, the pack includes the necessary components for a standard installation.
Can I adjust the speed of the soft close?
The soft close speed is preset via the internal hydraulic buffer and is not user-adjustable.
Are they rust-resistant?
Yes, the nickel plating provides a protective layer against rust and oxidation in normal household environments.
How many hinges are in a pack?
Each pack contains two hinges.
Troubleshooting
Door does not close completely
Check the rear adjustment screws to ensure the hinge is correctly positioned and not obstructed by the cabinet frame.
Door is hitting the cabinet frame
Use the lateral adjustment screws to move the door away from the cabinet side until the gap is even.
Hinge makes a clicking noise
Ensure all mounting screws are fully tightened and check that the hinge arm is properly seated on the mounting plate.
Pros and Cons

- Extra-wide opening for better interior access

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard woodworking tools, including a drill and a hinge boring bit if the door is not pre-drilled.
- Mark the hinge position according to your cabinet design.
- Drill the required hole for the hinge cup.
- Secure the hinge cup into the door using the provided screws.
- Mount the hinge plate to the cabinet interior.
- Adjust the door alignment using the rear adjusting screws until the gap is uniform.
To ensure longevity, wipe the hinges clean with a damp cloth periodically to remove dust or grease. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can strip the nickel plating. Check and tighten the mounting screws once a year to ensure the door remains secure.
