the main task furniture hinges- ensuring the opening of the flaps under right angle. The trust of buyers was won by hinges furniture with the closer. Their peculiarity is the performance of three functions simultaneously: the action of the lever system, the tasks of a standard hinge, and the provision of structural resistance in the open position.

In the body of the hinge with a door closer there is a cylinder with a spring embedded in it. When the sash is opened, the spring is compressed, and when closed, it straightens and exerts a force on the door. Due to the fact that the cylinder is filled with oil, the product operates in damping mode, therefore door leaf closes slowly and does not hit the jamb.

Varieties of hinges for furniture

Standard hinges for cabinets, bedside tables perform protective function. They have high strength indicators, withstand dozens of work cycles. Basically, such a model as a “frog” is popular in installation. A distinctive parameter is to ensure the opening angle of the door from 90 to 160 degrees.

Card loops are products consisting of two plates connected by a special movable rod. They are made of steel (stainless steel) or brass. Card hinges are a standard type of fittings.

Overhead loops have a non-standard "butterfly" shape. A feature of this type of product is the absence of the need for sampling. Overhead loops - double-sided products that have plates.

Closer hinges provide:

automatic door operation;
adjust deceleration;
closing speed.

Hinges with closers for doors are distinguished by ergonomics, slamming damping, and the function of fixing the position of the door. Such hinges with closers for the kitchen - best option, providing noiselessness of process of closing/opening of a door. In addition, the convenience of using the facades of the structure after mounting such a product is ensured.

In the TBM-Market catalog you will find big choice hinges with closer for doors represented by products trademarks Firmax, FGV, etc. Depending on the design of furniture modules, we can choose products for overlay, inset and adjacent doors, as well as for corner leaves with an angle of 30° to 135° (45°). For search purposes additional elements for competent installation We recommend visiting the section "Furniture Fasteners".

How to choose, install and configure hinges for the kitchen

Modern hinges for kitchen furniture from similar devices, for example, for a bedroom, should be distinguished by high reliability, and most importantly, maintainability. After all, the load on them is many times greater. Let's see what types of mechanisms can be found now, plus I'll show you how to install and adjust the hinges on the doors of the kitchen cabinet with your own hands.

Types of kitchen awnings

Now furniture fittings of this kind are represented by a number of convenient mechanisms, but all these devices were developed for their own type of cabinets.

Illustrations	Recommendations
	Laid on loop-frog. This suspension is also called a four-link or four-hinged suspension. Such fittings have been put on kitchen furniture for more than 50 years and it has established itself as quite reliable. The mechanism allows you to open the doors in 2 fixed positions: 90º and 165º.
	Semi-overlaid suspension. This mechanism is designed for facades in which 2 doors are attached to one rack (on both sides). A slight bend on one of the parts of the structure allows you to open both doors located on the same central axis.
	Inner loop. In part, internal hinges for kitchen cabinets are similar to semi-overhead ones, but they are designed for doors recessed into the cabinet box.
	Inverse design. These mechanisms allow you to fully open the doors. As the instructions promise, the sash will be able to open 180º.
	Corner structures. As the name implies, such hinges are designed for corner kitchen cabinets, where the facades are located end to end. In this case, the corner canopy opens only 30º and 45º and does not allow the doors to scratch the body of the adjacent cabinet.
	Intersection connectors. Designed for doors consisting of 2 sections. Depending on the type of construction, they can open 30º, 45º, 90º, 135º and 175º.
	Mezzanine canopy. It can be mounted both from below and above the mezzanine section, but all these structures are designed exclusively for swinging doors in a horizontal plane. Usually, a spring is built into the mezzanine hinges, something like a closer.
	piano loops. On the this moment rarely used as kitchen accessories. This is due to the fact that these suspensions, no matter how you mount them, you can still see them from the side.
	card loop. It differs from the piano only in size and more elegant appearance. Often they are placed on kitchen sets in vintage style from natural wood.
	Hidden or hidden loops. One of the latest hits furniture fittings. They attract with their invisibility and, as the manufacturers promise, with exceptional reliability. The price for 1 branded hidden canopy starts from 1200 rubles, so such fittings are installed only on VIP class kitchen sets.
	Card hangers. This type of mechanisms was developed for mobile countertops for miniature kitchens. Hinges allow you to fix the tabletop on the front of the furniture or just on the wall. If necessary, such a tabletop rises and is fixed by lamber canopies in a horizontal position, and after use it returns back.
	Heel loops. Such suspensions are mounted on the horizontal planes of the cabinets, at the top and bottom points. Although there are heel loops for any furniture, most often they are placed on glass doors.

Almost all modern models canopies now come with a built-in or overhead door closer. As practice has shown, for kitchen furniture, a closer is not a luxury, but an urgent need.

Installation and configuration of awnings

Naturally, each type of loop is mounted and configured according to its own rules. We will take as a basis the installation technology of the most common four-hinged mechanism.

How to embed a furniture canopy

The first thing any installation of such mechanisms begins with is markup. In order to facilitate this process for home craftsmen, decent manufacturers attach paper templates to their product. One template for marking on the cabinet doors, and the second for marking on the cabinet wall;
You just need to attach this paper to the right place and mark the drilling points with an awl;
The distance from the top and bottom points to the nearest canopy is about 70–120 mm, it all depends on the size of the furniture, and you need to measure it with inside cabinet;

To embed the mechanism, we need to drill a round hole in the door blind hole, the canopy mechanism will be placed there. For these purposes, there is a special drill, among professionals it is called the Forstner drill. You can’t do without it, since it’s inexpensive;

In most mechanisms, the bowl diameter is 35 mm with a depth of 12 mm. Under these dimensions, you need to take a drill. When buying, pay attention to whether the Forstner drill is equipped with a limiter so that you do not drill through furniture through inexperience;
The technology itself is extremely simple, after you have marked and marked the installation site, insert the drill into the drill and drill;
Then the structure is screwed into place. Some craftsmen recommend drilling holes at the entry points of self-tapping screws with a thin drill. The option is acceptable, but there is a high probability of drilling through the furniture, so I just drill deeper with a good awl, and then screw a self-tapping screw into this point.

A few words about setting

Horizontally, the mechanism is adjusted by the screw closest to the door;
To move the door vertically, you need to release 2 fixing screws on the cabinet wall;
The far screw fixes the mechanism after adjustment and adjusts in depth.

Conclusion

Almost all the mechanisms that I have described are relevant for self installation for kitchen furniture. The photos and videos in this article provide recommendations for setting up different types of mechanisms. If you have any questions, write in the comments, I will try to help.

Mounting fasteners on the doors and sides of cabinets is not an easy process. From correct installation hinges depends on the balance of the leaves, their trouble-free operation for a long time. How to install hinges on a cabinet with your own hands can be found in this material.

Mounts installed on a large furniture , are semi-mechanical elements , which are responsible for opening the valves. Much depends on the material and thickness of the doors, so what the hinges are made of is also important.

The hinges must withstand standard loads.

For installation most often used overhead devices with four hinges, the so-called frogs. Such mounts convenient for any design involving hinged doors - wardrobe or kitchen cabinet, other types furniture.

Metal parts are made of durable alloys that are resistant to corrosion and mechanical deformation.

Furniture hinges are divided into several types, depending on how they are attached:

H overlays;
P half overhead;
In deposit;
And inverted;
Royal;
Patch;
Sh tolnye, etc.

Types of furniture hinges.

for closet often used overhead structures with cup bases, which are connected to the panel using self-tapping screws. Mechanical liners with a "shoulder" are inserted into these bases and fixed on the door and side panel.

Such fasteners are quite reliable and durable, because they have a reinforced connection with the planes.

Depending on the type closet and its dimensions, as well as the material chosen suitable look connecting parts. Some elements used exclusively for classic furniture, where all the details must match the style. For ordinary wardrobes choose standard overhead and semi-overhead mounts.

For installation on sashes, you must use certified industrial products is a guarantee of strength and long service life of furniture and its individual parts.

Preparing for installation

Before starting work, it is necessary to prepare a set of tools and materials for furniture . Be sure to have a screwdriver on hand, a drill with the appropriate nozzles, a simple pencil, crayon, ruler or tape measure. You will also need screws of the right size (usually sold with hinges) and self-tapping screws of a certain section.

Tools for installing hinges.
When installing fasteners, you must consider the material you are dealing with and its structure. For loose or fibrous wooden panels apply different types fasteners and methods of fixation. Glass surfaces also require special approach. Two are mainly used mounts - above and below. If the sash weighs a lot or exceeds a meter in length, then for reinforcement, you can add another part in the center. When exceeding 9 kg, the door is equipped with additional hinges - they are added for every 5 kg of weight. For kitchen cabinets, two hinges are usually used, for large items - from three.

The maximum number of fasteners that can be placed on the door with a large length and weight of 20 kg is 5 pieces.
From top and bottom internal corners doors must be measured at least 10 cm, otherwise the sash may “loose” over time, and the screws will come out of the grooves.

You can not place the hinges at the level of the shelves - the door will not close.
Before starting installation fasteners must be marked. This will help connect elements much more accurate.

Use a pencil or thin chalk.
The average length of the indent from the edge of the sash closet to the center of the loop is 2.2 cm.

This distance is for standard mounts.
Before installing the hinges on the door closet wipe surfaces. Mark the places of future connections with a sharp nail or awl.

Preparing furniture for the installation of fasteners does not tolerate fuss. Depends on right job doors.

Carefully check all parameters of the sashes closet , shelf arrangement, etc. You can make a preliminary sketch.

Installation of fasteners

cabinet doors pre-try on the sidewalls to make accurate markings. Initial installation stage loops - drilling holes for attaching cups.

Make loops in vertical position doors are not always convenient. This will potentially reduce the accuracy of the connection.

Lay the sash on a flat surface, fixing it. Drill holes for the cup with a drill and cutter. It is important not to make recesses too large, 1.2 cm is enough. Insert the cups into the holes and screw the screws into the door part of the fixture.

It is necessary that they enter the grooves evenly, without distortion, otherwise the door will not be fixed correctly.

For installation connecting parts, place the drill vertically - any tilt will make the work of poor quality, chips may appear, due to which the mount will not hold securely.The striker on the side of the product can also be installed in the vertical position of the panel, having previously marked the joints.

When drilling, the drill also needs to be kept very level.

If overhead parts are used, then they are made “deaf” so that they do not spread during connection and assembly. Such fasteners should not have gaps and distortions.When connecting the sash and side panel, use the help.

Together, the work process will be more convenient, better and more accurate.

Installing fittings on glass doors requires special care and caution. For such sashes, special fasteners are purchased. On the side of the sidewall you will need holes that are drilled with a drill.

The glass sheet is fixed with clamps.

Alignment and adjustment

Furniture fixtures need adjustment. For this, in the process installations check their fixation in depth and distance. You can do this with the horizontal or vertical position of the parts. closet. After assembling the furniture all preliminary calculations will turn into a result, so it is important to devote more time to the markup and connection parameters in advance.

When choosing, you must first of all pay attention to the strength of the product, it must serve throughout the entire life of the furniture.

After installing the fasteners on the cabinet doors it is necessary to carefully try on the sashes to the sidewalls so that they match exactly. Mark the joints with a pencil. Fix the door and do fixing work on both sides. It is important that the accuracy of all details closet was one hundred percent. Finish assembly and check the work.

When opening and closing for the first time, the sashes may move somewhat tight if the hinges have not yet been lubricated and developed.

After attaching the hinges to the cabinet finished, it is recommended to drop a little machine oil inside the mechanism. Then wipe the surface with an absorbent cloth.

Check that all elements are working properly.

for closet from chipboard is better take wide loops, as the base material may crumble.

The better all the elements of the assembled furniture, the more reliable their operation will be.

Putting hinges on the door closet , do not forget that after a while the sashes can sag under their own weight, especially if they often remain open. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically strengthen the hinges by tightening the screws. In modern mounts, this is easy to do - there is an additional recess in the oval part.

Try to debug the parts carefully so as not to loosen the grooves.

It is also necessary to lubricate the hinges from time to time. closet so that they do not rust or creak. Adjusting fasteners , it is necessary to fix not only the screws connecting the cup or bar, but also the closer parts. The mechanical part can wear out from operation. Therefore, it is important to have 2-3 spare elements in order to replace a broken part with them. About the "drawdown" says a skew, a loose cover. Work is carried out more often in rooms with uneven floors and high humidity.

If the adjustment does not help, it is worth replacing the old parts with new ones.

When changing fixtures on used furniture, you need to look at how suitable they are for it. It may be necessary, due to the loosening of the grooves, to change the location of the new loops.

After adjustment, check for gaps, tightness of the doors when closing, overall mobility and evenness of the sash along the axis.

When installing several fasteners, it should be calculated so that their location does not fall on the internal elements of the furniture.

When choosing a kitchen set for installing a kitchen, you need to carefully approach the issue of choosing hinges for its facades. These are small mechanisms with which hinged doors can be opened and closed. To date, developers offer the consumer a variety of various options hinges on facades. How to choose the right furniture hinges for facades and how to make the right choice.

Purpose of hinges (thick, radius facades)

First of all, the loops for are necessary to fix the facades on the body. They also allow you to open and close. hinged doors. The possibility of adjusting the facades themselves (thick, radius), the degree of fixation of the doors, the maximum possible angle of the doors when opening, the smoothness of the free movement of the doors, the absence of squeaks, distortions and other possible defects depend on which hinges will be chosen.

Pro standard sizes kitchen sets can be read in this.

Device

The most popular model for the facades of kitchen cabinets are four-hinged hinges, popularly called "frogs". This design is very durable, having the ability to adjust the position of the facade and a stopper to prevent arbitrary opening of the doors.

The manufacture of four-hinged hinges occurs by stamping sheet metal(become). On top of the product is covered with a layer electroplating which provides aesthetic appearance and protection against rust (the appearance of corrosion). They can also be covered with various decorative coatings, making the surface matte, chrome or colored.

Parts of a four-hinged hinge:

A cup. It has square shape with rounded corners. Fits into the hinge hole on the inside of the door. And fastened with self-tapping screws, it is possible to use an additive.
Shoulder. Four-hinged mechanism that acts as a lever for opening / closing.
striker required for installation. The hinge body is attached to the striker. With special screws you can adjust the position of the facade.

Additionally, the kit may include:

Bowl pads.
Shoulder pads.
Closers (allow the loop to close smoothly).

Kinds

Overhead. With this fastening of the hinges to the facade, it is completely closed by the side, excluding gaps. With the door closed, the angle between the front and the side of the box is 90 degrees. When the door is open, this angle is 110 degrees. This mounting option is used in cases where it is necessary to block the open part of the box with one or two doors.
Semi overhead. Such loops have a bend at their base. Installed on the facade, they overlap half of the side of the box. The angle of the hinge in the closed state is 90 degrees, in the open state it is 110 degrees. They are used if there is a need to install hinges on one partition in order to open the doors in different directions (when installing overhead hinges, the doors will not be able to open).
Inserts. They are installed inside the box and have a large bend at the base. When using these types of loops, visible sides boxes. The angle of the hinge in the closed state is 90 degrees, in the open state it is 100 degrees. They can be attached to the sides of the box or to its partitions.
Corner. Loops are used to install on. In this case, the width of the side parts that are next to the facade should be the same. The angle of the hinge in the closed state is 45 degrees, in the open state it is 95 degrees.
Inverse. They are installed when the door needs to be fully opened. The angle of the hinge in the open state is 180 degrees, the facade is located on the same line with the side of the box.
Piano hinges are single-hinged. They are rarely used, because without an additionally installed magnet, the doors do not close completely. Most often they are mounted on furniture with a top door opening.
Card. They are similar in structure to piano hinges: two hinge plates are mounted parallel to the hinge. Installed on furniture.
Mezzanine. They are used when it is necessary to open the facade upwards. The principle of operation is similar to, only a spring is installed in the mezzanine, which allows you to smoothly open and close the doors.
Secret. Arranged on the principle of piano and card. Are established on furniture which doors open downwards.
Card. Are established on folding facades. Often used to make kitchenware.
Pendulum (bar). Spring hinges, which are similar in structure to piano hinges. Provide opening of facades by 180 degrees (according to the principle in Mexican countries).
Calcaneal. They are used extremely rarely, because in order to install such hinges, the door must be light in weight, mainly for.

Types of furniture hinges, how to choose:

Installation (on corner, non-standard furniture)

As a rule, the doors of kitchen furniture are already ready for the installation of hinges, but if you need to install a non-standard door or install new hinges, then first you need to make measurements.

In order to drill a hole for the bowl, you will need a Forstner drill. Also for installation you need: a caliper, a drill and a drill for wood, self-tapping screws, locking brackets.

First, we make markings on the door, depending on the number of loops needed. We retreat 21 or 22 mm from the edge. In the marked places with a pencil, we outline the center of future holes. Drill holes with a Forstner drill. The diameter of the hole for the bowl is 35 mm, the depth is 12 mm. Before you start drilling, you need to make sure that the drill does not pass through.

Now you can attach the base of the hinge in the drilled hole. Fastening takes place with two self-tapping screws on both sides of the hole.

We fix the central screw on the hinge body (in the center of the groove) in order to be able to adjust the hinge back and forth.

We bring the door to the side wall of the box and mark the attachment points. The striker is fixed at a distance of 37 mm from the edge. Leave about 1.5-2 mm between the door and the body. We tighten the screws and adjusting screws.

Tips for installing hinges / closers on the facade of the kitchen, kitchen cabinet

Depending on the size of the door, the number of hinges to be installed varies:

Door length up to 90 cm, weight about 4 kg - 2 hinges.
Length from 90 cm to 160 cm, weight up to 13 kg - 3 loops.
Door length from 160 cm to 200 cm, weight up to 17 kg - 4 hinges.
Length from 200 cm to 240 cm, weight up to 20 kg - 5 loops.

When marking, the upper and lower hinges should be at a distance of 70 to 120 mm from the upper and lower edges of the door, respectively.
When marking and placing loops, you need to make sure that shelves and partitions will not be located in these places.
Before starting installation, it is necessary to measure the thickness of the hinge so that it fits firmly into the drilled hole.

When installing internal hinges, marking is done from the inside of the door, taking into account the gap between the door and the box of 2 mm.

Replacing the hinge on the cabinet door:

Repair

Over time, furniture hinges can fall out of the installation slots. No need to immediately throw out the closet or change. First you need to remove the loop and carefully widen the hole (10 mm in depth). Next, you need to lubricate the wooden dowel with wood glue (or PVA) and drive it into the resulting hole.

We do everything carefully so as not to break through the material. After complete drying glue, cut off the protruding part of the dowel with a hacksaw. We twist the screws that fasten the loops directly into the dowels.

Tips for choosing furniture fittings for the kitchen:

When choosing hinges for facades and, you need to pay attention to the following factors:

Required opening angle and cabinet location.
Type of lockers (corner, with doors opening up / down, etc.).
Door weight and length.
The quality of the metal from which the hinge is made (it is recommended to choose a brass-zinc alloy for).

Hinges on the doors, perhaps not the brightest detail kitchen facade but one of the most important. After all, the comfortable and reliable use of a furniture set depends on the quality.

See also information about handles for kitchen furniture.

There are many types of hinges with different functional purposes, allowing you to mount the facade at different angles and different "overlap" on the cabinet body 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. AT modern furniture they are rarely used. For example, piano, card and mortise hinges can serve to fasten countertops 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 aluminum frame facades different widths mounted 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 right angles. 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. It is used for facades that completely cover the ends of the side walls of the body (excluding the technological gap, 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 internal facade highlights 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 characteristic complex form the knee of the bowl, thanks to which the expanded opening of the door relative to the body is ensured - almost up to 180 degrees. It can also be consignment note, semi-consignment note and supplementary. It 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 standard type furniture hinges, 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.
