Types of kitchen cabinet hinges

Pivot hinges

Pivot hinges allow the cabinet doors to swing in either direction from a single point at the top and bottom of the cabinet.

Butt hinges

Butt hinges can be mounted directly on the cabinet door, and consist of two small metal plates surrounding a pin and barrel.

Inset hinges

Inset hinges are easily concealed and can be mounted on the inside edge of the kitchen cabinet.

Concealed hinges

Concealed hinges, also known as “European hinges”, are hidden from view when the cabinet door is closed, offering a sleek and seamless look. They're popular in modern and contemporary kitchens.

The advantages of high-quality kitchen cabinet hinges

For seamless movement, kitchen cabinet hinges should be high-quality. Kitchen cabinets are an important part of your storage keeping your utensils, cutlery, and other equipment within arm’s reach. The last thing you want in a kitchen cabinet is a door that fails to open or shut properly, which can break up the flow of your cooking and preparation. High-quality kitchen cabinet hinges will last you many years and ensure the cabinets are working properly for the whole family. They are also designed to either remain concealed or look stylish which shouldn’t be underestimated as an important trait to have.

How to choose kitchen cabinet hinges that are right for you

Choosing the right kitchen cabinet hinges depends on what type of door you have (heavy, light, rotating, or sliding) and whether the door is for home or commercial use. Some of these hinges are fixed in place while others help the cabinet rotate and open, so it’s crucial to see what type of mechanism is needed. It’s also good to measure the section you want to place the hinge on to ensure you find a cabinet hinge that suits the size and shape of that particular cabinet. Last but not least, you will want to consider the type of finish from an aesthetic point of view. While they may be concealed, for the most part, they’ll be visible when any cabinet door is opened which means you might want to coordinate them with other cabinet parts like your cabinet handles.

What are the different types of kitchen cabinet hinges?

The most common hinges in Australia include pivot hinges, butt hinges, and inset hinges. The right one for you will depend on the cabinet door and the manufacturer’s instructions so be sure to double-check before purchasing.
