FAQs
What type of cabinet doors are these hinges best suited for?
These hinges are designed for full overlay applications, meaning the cabinet doors completely cover the cabinet frame. They are ideal for modern cabinet designs where a seamless look is desired.
Can I use these hinges on frameless cabinets?
These hinges are primarily designed for framed cabinets with a full overlay. Using them on frameless cabinets would require significant modifications and may not yield the intended results.
What is the recommended door thickness for these hinges?
The Emuca Full Overlay Hinges X91 are compatible with cabinet doors that have a thickness ranging from 14mm to 26mm.
How do I adjust the door alignment?
Door alignment is achieved using the three-dimensional cam adjustment located on the hinge arm and the eccentric adjustment screws on the mounting plate. These allow for adjustments in height, depth, and lateral positioning.
What is included in each set?
Each set includes two (2) full overlay soft-close hinges, two (2) screw-on mounting plates, and all the necessary fixing screws for installation.
How do I clean the hinges?
Clean the hinges using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the nickel-plated finish.
What does the 165° opening angle mean for usability?
The 165° opening angle provides a much wider range of access to the cabinet interior compared to standard hinges. This makes it easier to store and retrieve items, especially from deeper cabinets.
Troubleshooting
Door does not close softly.
Ensure the soft-close mechanism is properly engaged. Check if there are any obstructions preventing the mechanism from functioning. If the issue persists, the hinge might be faulty and may need replacement.
Doors are misaligned.
Utilize the three-dimensional cam adjustment on the hinges and the eccentric adjustment on the plates to fine-tune the door position. Refer to the adjustment instructions in the 'Setup' section.
Hinge won't clip onto the plate.
Verify that the plate is securely mounted and that the hinge cup is correctly seated. Ensure there are no debris or damage on the clip-on components of both the hinge and the plate.
Hinge feels loose or wobbly.
Check that all fixing screws for both the hinge and the mounting plate are tightened securely. Ensure the door thickness is within the specified range (14-26mm).
