FAQs
What does '1-inch overlay' mean?
A 1-inch overlay means that the cabinet door covers the cabinet face frame by one inch on the side where the hinge is mounted.
Are these hinges suitable for frameless cabinets?
No, these hinges are specifically designed for face frame cabinets. Frameless cabinets require different types of hinges.
How do I adjust the hinge?
The hinges feature 3-way adjustability. Look for screws on the hinge body that control the door's height, side-to-side position, and depth.
Can I use these hinges outdoors?
These hinges are designed for indoor use only and may not withstand outdoor environmental conditions.
What is the opening angle of these hinges?
These hinges have a 105° opening angle, providing a wide range of access to your cabinet contents.
How many hinges come in a pack?
DecoBasics offers these hinges in packs of 10, 20, 40, or 50 to suit various project sizes.
Do I need special tools for installation?
You will typically need a screwdriver (Phillips head likely) and potentially a drill for pilot holes. Measuring tape is also recommended for accurate placement.
Troubleshooting
Cabinet door does not close softly.
Check if the damper mechanism is properly engaged. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the full range of motion. Verify that the hinge is correctly installed according to the overlay and frame type.
Door is crooked or does not align properly.
Use the 3-way adjustment screws on the hinge to correct the door's position. Adjust height, side-to-side, and depth settings as needed.
Hinge squeaks during operation.
Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to the hinge pivot points. Avoid oil-based lubricants, which can attract dust.
Screws do not tighten securely.
Ensure you are using the correct size screws for the pre-drilled holes. If the holes are stripped, consider using wood filler or slightly larger screws.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Attach the other side of the hinge to the cabinet face frame, aligning it with your desired door position.

- Suitable for indoor use in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and other indoor cabinetry.
Care:
- Clean hinges with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the nickel plating.
- Periodically check that screws remain tight to ensure optimal performance.
