These hinges rest in a simple-to-cut groove and stay almost completely hidden from view, helping preserve the natural look of a wide variety of cabinetry, boxes, furniture, and more. The spring-action, snap-closing mechanism utilizes exclusive double nylon washers for smooth, soundless open-and-closing action. This unique design ensures tightly closed doors, while included cork stoppers guarantee quiet and gentle operation. These solid steel hinges mount easily to either frameless or face frame cabinets, and are available in beautiful popular finishes for both overlay and inset doors.
