Facades for hinged corner cabinets. Furniture equipment. Mortise hinges with closers

Ease of use of kitchen furniture, its reliability and even design is largely determined by kitchen fittings. Manufacturers are constantly offering new types in addition to existing ones. furniture hinges, handles, lifting and pull-out mechanisms, baskets and other most useful gadgets, improving the functionality and increasing the level of comfort of furniture. We hope our review of kitchen fittings will be useful to those readers who are faced with the design problem. kitchen furniture and selection of accessories.

For installation kitchen cabinets the lower row and column cabinets use height-adjustable supports, this allows you to align the furniture strictly horizontally, regardless of the floor level. There is a free space under the furniture where communications can be placed. Depending on the level at which the work surface should be, use supports of various heights, from 100 to 170 mm. Relative to the nominal height, the support can be adjusted by 10 mm plus (higher) or minus (lower). As a rule, this is enough to compensate for the curvature of the floor, if any.

Size range of supports for kitchen cabinets

The supports also serve to fix the plinth. Fasten the plinth panel on quick-release latches.

Adjustable foot kit includes fasteners for plinth panels of various types

In the case when the space under the cabinets remains open, use supports with a more attractive appearance.

Chrome-plated adjustable legs without fixings are suitable for the kitchen without plinth panel

For wall-mounted dining tables, bar counters and kitchen islands that do not rest on the cabinets of the lower row, adjustable supports are also often used. They are distinguished by an improved design, a larger footprint and a large adjustment range, 2-4 cm in each direction.

Among supports for countertops and bar counters, three heights are more common: 710 mm for dining table, 820 mm for working surface(low bar) 1100 mm for high bar

Furniture ties

To connect the external elements of the cabinet and stationary shelves, a furniture euro screw (euro screw, confirmation, screw screed) is used. It is good because it is quickly and easily installed, including at an angle. Yes, and it's inexpensive. The negative point is that the screw screed is not designed for repeated disassembly and assembly of furniture, which, however, for home cooking, as a rule, does not matter.

Confirmation screed is installed at the ends of the side walls of the cabinet

You can not drill holes for euro screws conventional drill, for this, only a special one is used, with an expansion of the diameter at the base, repeating the configuration of the confirmation.

For the installation of euro couplers, you will need a special drill and a nozzle for a screwdriver or a hex key

It is necessary to interconnect not only the cabinet elements, but also the cabinets themselves (modules, sections). Both lower and upper, combining them into a connected structure. This is done with the help of intersection screeds, which connect adjacent cabinets through holes drilled in the walls.

Intersection screed - a connecting screw of adjustable length, it can be used to fix elements (in our case side walls modules) of different thicknesses

Fixing wall cabinets to the wall

The upper cabinets of a modern kitchen are hung on a common mounting rail (bar) using special devices- hanging. The rail, the length of which is equal to the length of the entire top row of cabinets, is fixed securely and strictly horizontally.

A mounting rail common to all cabinets greatly simplifies their installation.

The mounting rail has special holes for hooks, which are available on the hinges. In upper cabinets modern kitchens, as a rule, hinges are already installed. If not, it’s easy to put them on, you just need to make a small hole in the back wall. The design of the hinge allows you to adjust the pressure of the locker against the wall, makes it possible to raise or lower it by a few millimeters.

When using rails and hinges, it is desirable that in the upper cabinets back wall was inserted into the grooves with a slight depth, and not fixed over the back of the case.

Upper cabinets, in which the fiberboard back wall is slightly shifted inward (on the right), will be pressed against the wall more tightly

Furniture hinges

The hinges on the facades of cabinets, which ensure their opening to the side, are the kitchen fittings that we deal with all the time. In an average family, kitchen doors open and close up to a hundred times a day. Hinges intended for kitchen furniture must have a high resource, open with minimal effort and silently. Of all existing types hinges for the kitchen are best suited mortise four-hinged.

Four-hinged furniture hinges

The vast majority of modern kitchens are equipped with four articulated furniture hinges. The presence of several hinges ensures that the movement of the hinge is shifted relative to the axis of rotation. When opening, the door goes forward a little and to the side, towards the center of the cabinet. Due to this, it does not touch the edge of the neighboring one, even if the distance between adjacent facades in the closed state is minimal - 3-4 mm. A flat spring in such a hinge provides not only automatic closing of the door at a small opening angle, but also its tight clamping in the closed state.

Four-hinged hinges are not visible from the outside, so they do not affect the design of the furniture in any way. The design of the hinge allows you to adjust the position of the facades in all directions, correct horizontal and vertical deviations.

Four hinges allow you to adjust the position of the doors in all directions

Adjustable hinges make it possible to very accurately, with equal and minimal gaps, distribute the facades on the front surface of the furniture. Cases of cabinets are practically not visible.

Kitchen furniture in the European tradition: the doors completely close the cabinets, the gaps between the facades are minimal

It should be mentioned that in the North American tradition, a different principle is used for hanging facades on cabinets. Unlike the European system, where the door is superimposed on the cabinet, closing the ends of its walls, in the USA and Canada the facade is often inserted into the cabinet flush with its body.

Kitchen furniture in the European tradition: the doors are placed inside the cabinet, the ends of which are visible

When installing a mortise hinge on the side of the cabinet, a cruciform mounting platform is screwed, and a cup with a hinged spring mechanism is inserted into the door, into a pre-drilled blind hole with a diameter of 35 mm. In budget hinges, the base of the mechanism is inserted into the platform with a groove and screwed on.

Scheme of installation of four hinged hinges with mounting the mechanism in the groove

The more expensive hinges snap into place in one motion, removing them is just as easy.

In this loop, the body snaps into place, spring retainer and the hole for it are highlighted in red

As a rule, hinges are installed in production, but you can do it yourself. This will require a special drill and accuracy when marking.

Overlay of four-hinged loops

Depending on the degree of imposition on the cabinet body, mortise hinges are divided into three types:

• Overhead - designed for doors of standard cabinets that have a full-fledged body, closed on all sides. That is, the locker has side walls, a bottom and a plate or plank on top. Most modern kitchens are assembled from such cabinets. The facade should close the end of the side wall, so the influx of the door is the maximum possible, taking into account the gap between adjacent facades.

• The semi-laid-on loop closes only half of the end of the wall, again, taking into account the gap. It is intended for cases when they "saved" on one of the walls by mounting two (or more) cabinets on the same bottom and in one full-sized case, separating them with a partition. Accordingly, one wall-partition closes two doors. The solution is not typical, it is more common in furniture of individual design and manufacture.

• The inset hinge is designed for kitchen furniture made in the North American tradition, which we mentioned above. The door is placed inside the cabinet body without closing its ends.

Overhead, semi-overlay and inset hinges are designed for lockers various designs

Opening angles of four-hinged hinges for standard rectangular cabinets

The furniture hinge provides opening of a door on a certain corner. A standard rectangular kitchen cabinet in most cases is equipped with a hinge that opens perpendicular to the facade, at a right angle. To be more precise, a little more than a straight line - most manufacturers make standard hinges with a 95º opening.

The standard hinge ensures that the door opens at a right angle or a little more

Such an opening is suitable for typical lower-row cabinets, but not always convenient for the upper ones, especially those that are most often used. For example: freshly washed dishes are put into the dish dryer several times a day, while the doors often remain open all the time the dishes are washed. There is a risk that one of the owners will be injured by hitting his head on the edge of the facade sticking out forward.

But if the door is equipped with a full-opening hinge and rotates at an angle approaching 180º (165º if there are protruding handles on the facades), the open cabinet becomes safe from injury. Also, full disclosure hinges are used for cabinets with doors that have sliding elements.

The full opening hinge has an angle of rotation close to 180º, the open door will be parallel to the facade. At the same time, it is pushed forward and does not touch the adjacent door.

Opening angles of four-hinged hinges for custom-shaped cabinets

For cabinets of a non-standard shape, hinges that open the doors at a right angle are often not suitable. For example, it is much more convenient if the door of a corner trapezoid cabinet is on L-shaped kitchen will open to a larger angle (135º). In a rectangular corner cabinet with a “pocket”, the hinge is mounted on a wall (false panel) parallel to the facade, therefore it should open at an angle approximately equal to 270º.

Corner cabinet doors with a "pocket" will require hinges with an opening angle of about 270º

And for the folding door of the L-shaped corner cabinet, you will need two types of hinges of various designs

Folding doors require hinges with different opening angles

Fittings for custom-shaped kitchen cabinets should be selected in such a way that the opening angle of the facades provides maximum access to the contents of the shelves.

Hinges according to the opening angle must be selected taking into account the design of the cabinet

When selecting hinges, the buyer may encounter confusion caused by differences in methods for determining the opening angle. There are two methods: at the first, the nominal opening angle of the loop is indicated, from closed to fully open. With the second method, the value is subtracted from the real value of the opening of the loop right angle. This value is called the installation angle and for a standard 90º hinge, its value is 0º. Thus, hinges with an opening of 45º, 90º, 120º, 165º, 180º, 270º have installation angles, respectively: -45º, 0º, 30º, 75º, 90º, 180º.

On sale you can find many models of four-hinged hinges with a variety of opening angles, suitable for almost any cabinet of custom design. However, there are situations when the existing models are not enough. As a rule, these are furniture of individual design and construction, where the front of the kitchen does not bend at a right angle. In this case, the opening angle of the door can be changed by installing an additional wedge-shaped spacer under the cross-shaped hinge bar.

A wedge-shaped platform installed under the hinge bar changes the opening angle of the door

Mortise hinges with closers

Most (but not all) four-hinged hinges have a flat spring that automatically closes the cabinet door. If you do not hold it, the door will knock on the cabinet body with an unpleasant sound. The silicone pad, which is usually glued to the back of the facade or the end of the cabinet, only partially solves the problem. Door closers for the kitchen, mounted on mortise hinges, slow down the movement in the last stage of closing, it is soft and silent. In addition, it is easy enough to push the door so that it begins to close.

Furniture hinge with integrated spring closer

Another interesting device that is worth mentioning is the door opening system by pressing them. To implement this solution, a cylinder with a button is installed on the cabinet body opposite the hinge, and a magnetic plate is installed on the door. The cylinder makes the closing of the facade soft, partly also performing the function of a door closer.

If the cabinet is equipped with a mechanism for opening and closing the doors by pressing, there is no need for a door closer

Traditional types of furniture hinges

Until the 60s of the XX century, traditional hinges were used for kitchen furniture. open type with one hinge, in many ways similar to the door.

Traditional single-hinged hinges can be attached to the plane of the walls and doors (card type) or to their ends (pin type)

Such hinges "do not know how" to automatically close and press the doors. To ensure that the doors open at an angle significantly exceeding 90º, the facades of adjacent cabinets have to be placed at a considerable distance. The use of traditional single-hinged hinges with their inherent disadvantages is justified for kitchen furniture made in a pronounced traditional style. Properly selected open loops serve as an element of external decor.

open loop pin type serves not only as a functional element, but also as a decoration for kitchen furniture made in a traditional style

Retractable storage systems

The lower tier is much more convenient to store kitchen utensils in drawers than in cabinets with shelves. There is no need to bend low, quick access is provided to the entire depth of the cabinet, things are arranged systematically, and there are actually more of them. The only drawback of sliding systems is their higher cost compared to conventional cabinets. In budget furniture we will not see a large number drawers, but the lower level of an elite kitchen can consist entirely of retractable elements. The horizontal movement of such storage systems is provided by guiding mechanisms.

It is much more convenient to store kitchen utensils and use them in drawers than on shelves.

Guides for drawer systems

There are two types of drawer mechanisms: roller and ball:

In roller guides, the counter movement of the skids is provided by two polymer wheels - rollers. Due to the special shape of the guides, the drawer is pressed against the cabinet in the final stage of closing - an analogue of a door closer. Roller guides do not push the drawer to the end, its contents at the far end will have to be groped by hand. The rollers do not provide ideal smoothness, but they are cheap. This is a perfectly acceptable solution for budget furniture.

Inexpensive roller guides can be matched to the drawer of almost any depth

Ball guides are completely devoid of the disadvantages of roller guides. They are a linear telescopic bearing: steel balls are located between the moving guides in two rows. The strong steel telescopic design is very durable and can withstand considerable weight. Several dozen small diameter balls provide smooth and silent movement. Ball guides, consisting of two telescopic elements, do not pull out the drawer to the end, like roller guides. But guides with three elements allow you to pull the drawer out of the cabinet completely.

In the illustration above - ball guides full extension designed for heavy loads. From below - guides for average loading of partial promotion

In the basic version, ball guides do not have closers, but options with a mechanism that provides smooth automatic closing are available. drawer.

Drawer options

The most common sliding systems are ordinary drawers (drawers) on roller or ball guides. They may have a body made of ordinary laminated chipboard or metal frame.

Instead of a box with solid walls, mesh baskets can be used, but the general scheme does not change from this - the guides are installed horizontally on both sides of the sliding system.

Retractable dryer for large-sized dishes, located in the lower tier of cabinets

Retractable cutting boards and mini-tables are arranged according to the same principle.

Large and convenient retractable cutting board when folded it takes up almost no space

Another option for the layout of retractable systems is cargo baskets (bottles), where mesh baskets are installed at several levels and represent a single structure with the cabinet door. If the cargo is wide enough (from 30 cm), the guides are installed, as for boxes, on both sides of the lower basket. For narrow bottle holders, ball mechanisms are placed vertically only on one side of the baskets, one above the other.

Swivel and swing-out systems

For corner cabinets, where access to the dead half is difficult, they came up with rotary mechanisms to store utensils. Widely known are "carousels", where mesh shelves rotate around the central axis in the form of sectors of a circle corresponding to the configuration of the cabinet. Convenient, but not very rational, because the corners remain unused.

Swivel "carousel" - the radius shape of the shelves does not make it possible to use the corners of the cabinet

This shortcoming is deprived of turn-and-slide systems designed for corner furniture. With this solution, there are two sections of two-level baskets: one, integrated with the door, moves along a complex trajectory, simultaneously sliding on the skids and turning. The second section is pulled out of the blind part of the cabinet to the place of the first one that has left, where access is provided to it.

Swing-out storage system for a corner cabinet, its entire area is used

Lifting mechanisms for upper level cabinets

In the upper row, cabinets with wide lifting doors are often more convenient than conventional ones that open to the side. A large space is available, adjacent doors do not overlap each other, do not interfere with a person. Wide and low horizontal doors are in harmony with the sliding systems of the lower row, perfectly fitting into the trendy minimalist style. The only drawback of the "lifters" is a considerable price compared to conventional hinges.

Lift mechanisms can be lever-spring or pneumatic (gas lifts). The latter use gas-filled shock absorbers for exceptionally smooth running. The standard lift also works as a closer and completes the movement itself, stopping only fully open or closed. The friction lift can be stopped half-open in any position, which is convenient for tall cabinets. Functionally lifting mechanisms for kitchen cabinets can be divided into three groups:

• Swivel lifts - the door rises around the axis located on top. Not perfect solution: it is inconvenient for a short person to close the locker, a tall person can hit his head on the door

Lever-spring swivel lift, for opening and closing the door, you need to apply some force

• Vertical lifts - the door slides vertically parallel to the facade. Safety solution.

Vertical lift - the right solution for low cabinets

• Folding lifts - the door describes a complex trajectory, the handle is low, while the cabinet space is well accessible. Cabinets can be quite high, it’s easy to reach the handle

For a person of short stature or with tall cabinets, a folding lift is more convenient than a rotary or vertical one: the door handle is located lower, you do not need to reach for it to close the door

• Lifts for folding doors are not inferior to folding doors in terms of ease of use, but the cabinet can be made even higher by gaining free access to the shelves. The most convenient solution, the most expensive mechanisms.

Folding lifting doors - the most convenient solution for the upper tier

All types of mechanisms, except for rotary ones, can be equipped with a door opening system from pressure and electric servo drives.

Door handles

Handles - front accessories, an active design element. We will not consider in this article Various types furniture handles, because they are noticeably different visually, functionally they are identical.

Facial fittings for the kitchen are extremely diverse, the photo shows only a tiny part of the range offered.

However, it is necessary to mention alternative systems opening doors without handles:

• Integrated handles for the kitchen are a groove on the top or bottom of the door, which can be grabbed like a handle. A special aluminum or polymer profile is installed on the door or a groove is milled directly into the facade material.

The profile selected at the top of the door replaces the handle when opened

The solution is quite convenient, you just need to leave a place for a grip above the door. Furniture without handles is ideally combined with the interior, made in the spirit of fashionable minimalism.

Above or below the integrated handles, free space must be left for the hand.

• The push-to-open systems we already mentioned - no handles needed. We recommend for such cases to choose furniture with a matte surface of the doors. It does not leave fingerprints, unlike glass and gloss.

On the glass door, opened by pressing, distinct fingerprints will always be visible. For this case, it is better to choose a matte facade

Prices for accessories for the kitchen

Price furniture fittings directly depends on its type and quality. For example, a standard domestic or Chinese-made furniture hinge costs only $0.25, $0.5 per cabinet. More or less decent roller guides for a drawer - from $ 1.25 per set, ball - from $ 4 per set. The presence of closers and other amenities will significantly increase the price. Simple lifting mechanism for a rotary lift it costs from $30, for folding doors - from $70. You need to understand that cheap products are designed for light doors, they are unlikely to work perfectly and will not last very long. Those who wish to purchase reliable high-quality fittings from well-known manufacturers should be prepared to pay many times more.

We talked only about the main types of modern fittings for kitchen furniture. Much has been left "behind the scenes", interesting new items will definitely appear in the near future. For most readers, the available information is enough to start designing a kitchen and selecting equipment. Having decided in general terms with the wishes, with specific questions, it makes sense to contact the furniture manufacturer or the salon, where a professional designer will help make dreams come true.

Without such an element as a furniture hinge, we will not be able to open or close the cabinet doors. It is an important part of furniture. Whether it's a wardrobe, bedside table, sideboard or table, with the help of hinges we can open the doors up, down, to the sides at a certain angle. Now there are many types of this furniture fittings, its choice is simply huge.

Without such an element as a furniture hinge, we will not be able to open or close the cabinet doors.

Their installation is quite complicated, it is better if the installation is carried out by a specialist.

What are furniture hinges? This is a mechanism attached to the wall and facade of the furniture, with its help the doors can be opened at a specific angle. Such loops differ in structure, fastening system, they perform different functions.

When the doors are closed, they are invisible.

Many manufacturers of furniture hinges produce low-quality fittings, as they want to save on production.

Today, four-hinged hinges are common. This design is quite unpretentious and durable, easy to install. This mechanism is so solid that you can open and close furniture doors endlessly. Its adjustment is allowed in three planes. The composition of the four-hinged loop includes such elements as:

• mounting plate,
• cup,
• shoulder.

Detachable are divided into left and right - this is how they differ from universal ones, which are fixed on a facade that opens in any direction.

To purchase a quality product, you should look at the thickness of the metal.

The hinges are mounted to the facade with a cup, and the mounting plate is attached to the furniture box. The whole mechanism is fixed on self-tapping screws. The shoulder serves as a kind of handle and a link between the mounting plate and the cup. All elements are interconnected by a four-hinged mechanism. There is an adjusting screw in the bar, it allows you to adjust the facade in relation to the base.

Now there are many types of this furniture fittings, its choice is simply huge.

To choose furniture hinges, you need to consider how you will mount them.

Types of furniture hinges

This type of fittings, such as furniture hinges, produced on this moment, used in the assembly of furniture and which can be bought at any hardware store, is divided into groups presented in the table.

What are furniture hinges?

Many pay attention to where they were made.

There are many types of furniture hinges. This element of fittings, currently produced, is divided into types that differ from each other in some ways:

• firstly, the place where the hinges should be mounted;
• secondly, raw materials intended for manufacturing;
• thirdly, the detachability of the structure;
• fourthly, the method of fixation;
• Fifth, the hallmark of the mechanism.

Among other things, they are divided into detachable and universal, they differ in strength.

It is important to pay attention to the product certificate, whether the head office controls the production.

By category, they can be divided into overhead and mortise, have a card structure, are fixed to the base and to the facade. The difference is that for mortise hinges you need to make a slight recess where the plate should be placed. Among other things, they are divided into detachable and universal, they differ in strength. The universal type of hinges can withstand a solid load, which means that the likelihood of doors settling in the future will be significantly reduced. Detachable are divided into left and right - this is how they differ from universal ones, which are fixed on a facade that opens in any direction.

The difference is that for mortise hinges you need to make a slight recess where the plate should be placed.

Screw-in hinges consist of two proportionate parts, which are cylinders, they have holes for self-tapping screws. Such hinges are installed on any doors. But they have a drawback - the doors attached to the screw hinges cannot be removed. The most common option is hidden loops. When the doors are closed, they are invisible. Mounted on any facade and have a universal mechanism - three rotary axes. Their installation is quite complicated, it is better if the installation is carried out by a specialist. You can also find a double-sided type of loops. It allows the sashes to open both outward and inward.

By category, they can be divided into overhead and mortise, have a card structure, are fixed to the base and to the facade.

To properly install, you will need a tape measure, an awl, a drill, a screwdriver or a screwdriver, a Forstner drill, self-tapping screws.

Whatever the type of hinges, they must be strong and durable - these are the main qualities that you need to remember when choosing furniture hinges.

Such loops differ in structure, fastening system, they perform different functions.

Types of furniture hinges can be different, and their installation does not present any difficulties, all the work can be done at home.

How to choose furniture hinges

Many manufacturers of furniture hinges produce low-quality fittings, as they want to save on production. To purchase a quality product, you should look at the thickness of the metal. If it is thin, it is better to refuse the purchase. It is worth paying attention to the price equivalent - it is better not to buy cheap accessories. The quantity of the product is based on the size of the facade and what is its mass. The hinges must be strong, it depends on how long they can last.

This type of fittings, such as furniture hinges, are currently produced, used in the assembly of furniture.

You can easily replace old fittings with new ones yourself, and the furniture will last for a long time.

To choose furniture hinges, you need to consider how you will mount them. Many pay attention to where they were made. After all most accessories are made in China, and there, as you know, they are made under different brands, including well-known ones. It is important to pay attention to the product certificate, whether the head office controls production, since most popular companies open branches in China.

There are many types of furniture hinges.

Typically, furniture manufacturers carefully choose fittings, prefer brands that have characterized themselves on the positive side.

All elements are interconnected by a four-hinged mechanism.

How to use furniture hinges correctly

In order for the doors to close and open smoothly, there were no gaps between the base and the facade, and the doors were attached fairly evenly, it is necessary to correctly mount the furniture hinges. As you know, the hinges have cups of different diameters - it is this part of the structure that is inserted into the recess drilled in the wood. The most popular have a diameter of 35 millimeters.

The hinges are mounted to the facade with a cup, and the mounting plate is attached to the furniture box.

To properly install, you will need a tape measure, an awl, a drill, a screwdriver or a screwdriver, a Forstner drill, self-tapping screws. But the first thing you need to do is markup and determine the center of the future deepening. It is necessary that from the cup to the edge of the door was 5 mm or from the edge to the middle of the notch - 23 mm. Now we drill the opening to such a depth that the cup completely enters there, the main thing is not to drill through the material. We place the hinges in the prepared facade and, if necessary, equalize the bar. When everything is aligned, the bar sits like a glove, we attach it to the screws with a screwdriver or a screwdriver.

This design is quite unpretentious and durable, easy to install.

As you can see, the types of furniture hinges can be different, and their installation does not present any difficulties, all the work can be done at home. In such cases, when the doors are skewed, they begin to creak, you can easily replace the old fittings with new ones yourself, and the furniture will last for a long time.

Today, four-hinged hinges are common.

There are many types of loops with different functional purpose, allowing you to mount the facade at different angles and different "overlap" on the body of cabinets and inside the body. Consider the main types of furniture hinges with photos used for chipboard, MDF and solid wood.

Types of furniture hinges by design

There are many hinges, canopies used to attach a swing door to a cabinet or cabinet box. Mainly in modern furniture production use four-hinged hinges, allowing you to adjust the facade in three planes at once:

• higher lower,
• left/right,
• to/from the façade.

All of them consist of two interconnected parts - a bowl with a knee and a reciprocal bar.. Often, the reciprocal bar is called a mounting or mounting bar. In this article, we will focus on four-hinged loops.

Other types of furniture hinges can be combined into one large group as "cupless".

First of all, these are well-known fasteners interior doors and facades in old furniture piano, card, pin, heel loops. IN modern furniture they are rarely used. For example, piano, card and mortise hinges can be used to attach tabletops to the base, movable legs in. For ordinary cabinets, brass decorative hinges are used as an additional.

Overhead hinges that do not require drilling of the facade. They help out great when the thickness of the material chosen for the facade does not allow installing (embedding) a four-hinged hinge - due to the depth of the bowl. There is only one drawback of such hinges - a rigid mount that does not allow adjustment in three planes, as in four-hinged ones.

Hinges for fastening specific facades. For example, prefabricated facades made of an aluminum frame of different widths are installed on special hinges- you can purchase them together with the profile. Please note that as well as conventional four-hinged hinges, they can be overhead and internal, designed for corner cabinets 45, 135, 180 degrees and facades covering one and a half of the case.

Types of four-hinged furniture hinges

According to the design, according to how the bowl with the knee is fastened to the reciprocal plate, four-hinged furniture hinges can be of three types:

• • Slide— on- parts of the hinge are inserted into each other and connected using a fixing screw, which has special notches, thanks to which, even in a loosened state, it securely “holds” the connection. This type of loop is the most common.

• • clip— on- parts of the hinge are connected by a simple click, without screws. The front can be removed and installed without the use of any tools - just pull the latch. Clip-on hinges are also called quick-mount hinges.

• • key— hole- on the shoulder of the bowl with a knee there is a hole resembling a key hole in shape - a keyhole. The fastening of the shoulder and the strap is carried out by passing the head of the fixing screw through this hole.

Regardless of the design, all of the above types are divided according to their purpose and installation method - which facade is used in furniture and how it is attached to the body.

Hinges 90 degrees

*The designation of 90 degrees in this case is conditional, it serves to mark loops that open at a right angle. In fact, the door travel is somewhat larger, reaching about 105-120 degrees when opened. Some manufacturers and sellers of fittings may label this type not as "loop 90", but, for example, "loop 110" - there is no mistake here.

Laid on (external) loop 90 degrees distinguished by a straight "shoulder", without bending. Used for facades that completely cover the ends of the side walls of the body (excluding technological clearance, which can be 1-5 mm).

Half overlay (middle, half outer) loop 90 degrees, the bowl shoulder with a knee can be distinguished by a medium-sized bend. Rarely used. For example, in kitchen two-row horizontal cabinets for attaching the lower door and in three-leaf wardrobes for attaching the middle facade.

Inset (internal) loop 90 degrees it is distinguished by a large bend on the “shoulder”, due to which the inset door is carried out when opened outside the case. Rarely used. For example, in office furniture, in which the body is made of thickened chipboard 22 mm and the internal facade emphasizes this detail.

Hinges 180 degrees

Direct (adit) hinge for false panels designed to fasten the facade to the sidewall, which is in the same plane. Most often used in corner kitchens, when using the appropriate sink corner module.

Carousel (crab, crocodile, transformer) loop 165 degrees recognizable by the characteristic complex shape of the bowl knee, thanks to which the expanded opening of the door relative to the body is ensured - up to almost 180 degrees. It can also be consignment note, semi-consignment note and supplementary. Differs in the shape of the shoulder.

Types of corner loops

Angle hinge 30 degrees"presses" the facade, located at an angle of 90 + 30 degrees relative to the body. It is used most often in beveled end cabinets of kitchen sets or wardrobes. Installation angle - 120 degrees. Some manufacturers are marked by the installation angle, i.e. called a 120 degree loop.

Angle hinge 45 degrees used in trapezoidal single-leaf and double-leaf cabinets - for example, kitchen or dressing rooms. Similar to the previous view, it can be called by the installation angle - a 135 degree loop.

Angle hinge 120-135 degrees most often serves as a connection of two facades, fastened together at a right angle of 270 degrees, coming off as an "accordion". In this case, a door without a handle is attached to the body on a carousel hinge from the previous category.

Corner hinges with negative opening angle are rarely used due to design features: end cabinets, as a rule, serve as the end of a row of furniture and it is more convenient to open the door from the other side. But there are projects in which it is more expedient to implement the opposite solution.

The photo shows the main types of furniture hinges standard type, without closers for smooth closing. Hinges with closers are classified similarly - depending on the type of facade and installation angle relative to the body. Outwardly, they differ from the standard ones only in the shape of the shoulder, inside of which a special shock-absorbing mechanism is built. Also, the closer may not be built-in, but overhead - as, for example, a manufacturer such as Blum offers. But the bulk of the proposals on the market still does not imply the possibility of improvement. Therefore, if you are determined to install facades with smooth closing, without annoying knocking, purchase fittings with closers right away. True, and it costs a little more. Before buying, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with.
