FAQs
What is the overlay for these hinges?
These hinges feature a 1-3/8" variable overlay, meaning the door can overlap the cabinet frame by up to 1-3/8 inches, with adjustment capabilities.
How many hinges are included in a pack?
Each pack contains two (2) hinges, which is typically sufficient for one standard cabinet door.
What is the opening angle of the hinge?
The opening angle for these compact hinges is 107 degrees.
Can the soft-close feature be disabled?
The BLUMotion soft-close mechanism is integrated into the hinge assembly and is not designed to be disabled. Its purpose is to provide a smooth closing action.
What type of cabinet is this hinge suitable for?
These hinges are designed for face-mount applications on framed cabinets.
What are the specific adjustment capabilities?
The hinges offer +/- 1/16" side adjustment, +/- 1/8" height adjustment, and +3/32" - 1/32" depth adjustment.
How should I clean the hinges?
Clean with a soft, dry cloth. For tougher marks, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Door does not close softly
Ensure the BLUMotion mechanism is not obstructed and that the door weight does not exceed the hinge's capacity. Check that the hinge is properly seated and secured.
Doors are misaligned
Use the integrated adjustment screws (side, height, depth) to fine-tune the door position. Refer to the adjustment ranges provided in the product specifications.
Hinge squeaks or binds
Check for any debris or obstructions within the hinge mechanism. Ensure screws are not overtightened, which can cause binding.
Overlay appears incorrect
Re-measure your cabinet opening and door size. Adjust the overlay using the dedicated adjustment screws on the hinge arm. Ensure you are using the correct overlay specification for your cabinet type.
