When you go to open and close your cabinets, you usually take it for granted because that is what you’ve been doing since before you can remember. But, if you didn’t have cabinet door hinges on your cabinets, it just wouldn’t be possible.

Therefore, cabinet door hinges are pretty important pieces of hardware and here is a quick guide on the many different options that are offered by manufacturers.

Really, there are a wide variety of cabinet door hinges available starting with those of the self-closing kind. These do just like the name of it describes, they shut the cabinets by themselves as long as the door of the cabinet is a certain distance from the base, which is quite convenient if you have kids in the house who don’t know how to shut things.

Another common option are cabinet door hinges that are free-swinging, this selection is pretty much the opposite of the self-closing variety. It does not have any kind of closing mechanism so it doesn’t shut automatically and basically you need to make sure it is closed by pushing the door of the cabinet in place.

A third common option when it comes to cabinet door hinges are ones that you don’t even see at all, which are referred to as concealed hinges. They are designed to be installed on the inside of a cabinet and you cannot see them at all when the door of your cabinets are closed. So, if you want your space, whether it be kitchen or bathroom, to have a clean look to it, then this hinge option would be the way to go.

And, a fourth common selection are cabinet door hinges that are not concealed. They are installed on the outside of a cabinet and are perfect for adding a great ornamental look to your space because of the many beautiful material and finishing options that are available. Like, you can get a hinge made from bronze that has an oil rubbed finish or you can get one made from steel that has a brushed, even a polished finish if you like.

Along with the common cabinet door hinges that were just mentioned, there are many other options available as well. They include wrapping ones, others of the overlay variety, some that feature an inset style, and ones that have to be flush with the cabinet that they are installed on.

Now, an easy way to look into all the cabinet door hinges that you could get, just jump online and do some comparison shopping. There you can check out the different styles in no time at all. Plus, when you do come across something that you like, it will generally be at some reasonable prices and your purchase will be shipped right to your home. That’s pretty convenient because you didn’t even have to step foot outside of your home to do your shopping.

So, the next time you open your cabinets, don’t take for granted how that happens because without cabinet door hinges, life would definitely be more complicated.
