Product Information

Full details

These Loops Soft Close Cupboard Hinges are designed for cabinet doors requiring a wide 170-degree opening angle and a smooth, controlled closing action. Ideal for DIY enthusiasts and cabinet makers looking to upgrade kitchen, bathroom, or utility room cabinetry, they offer a durable bright nickel-plated finish. A key benefit is the soft-close mechanism, preventing slamming and reducing wear. The primary caveat is that they are sold individually and a pack contains four hinges; ensure you order the correct quantity for your needs.

FAQs

What is the opening angle of these hinges?

These hinges offer a wide opening angle of 170 degrees, providing maximum access to your cabinet interiors.

Are these hinges sold as a set?

This product is sold individually, but each pack contains four hinges, suitable for one standard cupboard door (usually requiring two hinges per door, meaning one pack covers two doors).

What finish do these hinges have?

The hinges feature a bright nickel-plated finish, which is durable and resistant to corrosion.

What is the diameter of the hinge cup?

The hinge cup has a standard diameter of 31mm.

How do I install these hinges?

Installation involves fitting the hinge into a pre-drilled 31mm cup on the door and attaching the mounting plate to the cabinet frame. Precise alignment and secure fastening are key. Refer to detailed installation guides or consult a professional if unsure.

Can I adjust the closing speed?

While the soft-close mechanism is integrated, some models allow for minor adjustments to damping. Check the specific product details or manufacturer's instructions for adjustment screw locations.

Are matching hinges and handles available?

Loops offers a wide range of door handles, knobs, hinges, latches, and accessories in various finishes. Matching sets are often available, and bespoke packages can be put together upon request.

Troubleshooting

Hinge does not close softly

Check that the hinge is correctly seated and that the closing arm is not obstructed. Ensure you have purchased the correct soft-close variant and that it is installed in the correct orientation. Some hinges have an adjustment screw for damping strength; consult specific hinge documentation if available.

Door is not aligned correctly

Most hinges have adjustment screws for up/down, left/right, and in/out movement. Carefully adjust these screws to align the door with the cabinet frame. Ensure all screws securing the hinge and mounting plate are tightened.

Hinge squeaks or is stiff

Ensure the hinge is clean and free from debris. If the issue persists, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant may be applied to the moving parts, avoiding the soft-close mechanism itself.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Wide 170-degree opening angle allows full access to cabinet contents.
  • Soft-close feature protects doors and reduces noise.
  • Durable and attractive bright nickel-plated finish.
  • Designed for standard cabinet installations.

Cons

  • Sold individually, so ensure sufficient quantity is purchased (pack contains four).
  • Requires precise installation for optimal soft-close function.
  • May require existing hinge cups to be compatible with 31mm diameter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation typically involves fitting the hinge into a pre-drilled 31mm diameter cup on the cabinet door and then attaching the mounting plate to the cabinet frame. Ensure the hinge arm is parallel to the cabinet side when closed. Adjustments can often be made via screws on the hinge to fine-tune door alignment.

Compatibility: These hinges are designed for standard cabinet door construction with a 31mm diameter hinge cup. Compatibility with existing cabinets depends on whether the original hinge size and mounting hole configuration are standard. Please measure your existing hinge cups before purchase if replacing old hinges.

Care: Clean the bright nickel-plated surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying thoroughly.
