There are so many different hinge types available for custom kitchen cabinetry in Langley, we decided to have a Part 2 for this topic. For Part 1, you can read that article here. Below we discuss more choices for hinges. Keep in mind that hinges needed often depend on the function of the cabinet.
Piano Hinges
Piano hinges are hinges that run along the length of a door instead of just existing in one or two discrete pieces. Piano hinges are sometimes used for high-use doors because they are sturdy.
Soft-Close
If you do not want any doors slammed, then soft-close hinges are the answer. These are hinges that prevent slamming and close doors softly. They help to keep your kitchen quiet, and they are long-lasting because the doors and hinges are used gently.
Bi-Fold
Bi-fold hinges are used for doors that exist in more than one part. For example, corner cabinets often have a bi-fold doors that close at different angles. This requires hinges to attach the door to the cabinet and others to hold pieces of the door together.
Blind-Corner
Blind-corner hinges are needed in tight corners and other awkward areas. These hinges maximize accessibility where it is otherwise impaired and normal hinges will not work.
You can discuss every cabinet and hinge with your kitchen professional, but the professional will likely have a lot more information and experience than the lay individual for what types of hinges are needed for which application. We have gone over just a handful of the many types of hinges available in custom cabinetry in Langley or any other big city.
