FAQs
What is a full-overlay hinge?
A full-overlay hinge is designed so that the cabinet door completely covers the cabinet frame when closed. This provides a clean, seamless look.
Do I need a special tool to install this hinge?
Basic tools such as a screwdriver are typically required for mounting plates and fixings. The snap-on system for attaching the hinge to the plate simplifies installation.
What is the purpose of the Glissando technology?
Glissando technology refers to the integrated soft-close system that ensures doors close smoothly and quietly, preventing them from slamming shut.
Can I use this hinge for face-frame cabinets?
Yes, this hinge is suitable for both frameless and face-frame cabinet installations, provided the correct mounting plate and installation methods are used.
How do I adjust the door alignment?
Door alignment is adjusted using the screws on the compatible cam adjustable mounting plate, which allows for changes in side, height, and depth.
Where can I buy the compatible mounting plate?
The compatible mounting plate and necessary fixings are typically available from hardware suppliers or specialized cabinet component retailers. Please refer to the product information for the recommended model number (700-0KC0-068).
What are the dimensions of the hinge cup?
The hinge cup has a diameter of 35mm and a depth of 11.7mm.
Troubleshooting
Hinge does not close softly.
Ensure the soft-close damper is correctly engaged and not obstructed. If adjustable, verify the damper setting is appropriate for the door weight.
Door is misaligned.
Use the three-way adjustment screws on the compatible mounting plate to adjust side, height, and depth until proper alignment is achieved.
Hinge feels stiff or difficult to open/close.
Check for any obstructions around the hinge or door. Ensure the hinge is properly seated on its mounting plate. Confirm the door is not warped or binding against the cabinet frame.
Hinge squeaks.
While unlikely with this model, check for any debris or potential friction points. A very small amount of appropriate lubricant might be applied to the pivot points if the issue persists, but consult manufacturer guidelines first.
