Inset Cabinet Hinges

Unlike overlay hinges (where the door covers the cabinet face frame), inset hinges allow doors to sit completely inside the cabinet frame — producing a clean, tailored aesthetic and often a more premium look. Inset hinges require precise alignment but deliver a seamless, built-in appearance when installed correctly.

Our lineup includes a variety of inset-hinge styles: traditional exposed hinges, concealed hinges where available, and soft-close or standard pivot options. We also offer multiple finishes — matte black, satin nickel (brushed nickel), oil-rubbed bronze, polished chrome, satin brass, and more — so you can match hinges to door hardware, cabinet knobs/pulls, or overall décor.

These hinges are built to support standard and heavy-duty cabinet doors — from light vanity or wall-cabinets to heavy solid-wood cabinet doors, pantry units, or built-ins. Many include robust pivot mechanisms, adjustable tension, and durable metal construction for long-lasting performance.

Installation is designed to be straightforward: hinges mount with standard screw-hole patterns, and many are compatible with pre-drilled holes or standard inset-door templates. Whether you’re building new cabinetry or retrofitting existing furniture, these hinges offer reliable performance and clean looks.

Inset cabinet hinges are ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, closets, furniture, built-ins, or specialty cabinetry — wherever a flush-mount, high-end appearance is desired. Paired with matching hardware, they help deliver a cohesive, professional finish.

An inset cabinet hinge is a hinge designed for cabinet doors that sit flush inside the cabinet frame (instead of sitting over it). The door fits entirely within the cabinet opening, producing a flat, built-in look when closed.

Inset hinges give a clean, flush, and custom-built appearance — often preferred in high-end cabinetry and furniture. They produce tighter gaps, smoother lines, and a more architectural finish than overlay hinges, which can enhance the overall quality and aesthetic of cabinetry.

Installation requires precise alignment and often a well-measured mortise, but most of our inset hinges use standard screw patterns, making them compatible with pre-drilled holes or standard installer templates. With proper measurement and basic tools (drill, screwdriver, chisel if needed), installation is manageable by DIYers or professionals.

Yes — many of our inset hinges are constructed from durable metal with robust pivot systems, making them suitable for both light and heavier cabinet doors including solid wood, pantry units, or built-in cabinetry. Always verify door weight and hinge specs before installation.

Inset hinges work great in kitchens, bathrooms, closets, built-ins, furniture, vanities, and custom cabinetry projects — anywhere a clean, flush, and premium cabinet appearance is desired. They’re especially popular in custom cabinetry, high-end remodels, and furniture-grade builds.
