FAQs

What type of cabinet is this hinge suitable for?

This Blum Compact Face Fix Hinge is specifically designed for face frame cabinet applications.

What is the opening angle of this hinge?

The hinge provides a 107-degree opening angle.

Does this hinge have a soft-close feature?

This hinge features a spring mechanism for self-closing action, but it does not specify a soft-close feature. It will pull the door shut, but may not dampen the closing speed.

What is the required bore diameter for the hinge cup?

A bore diameter of 35 mm is required for the hinge cup installation on the cabinet door.

Are screws included with the hinge?

Yes, the package includes 1 hinge and 4 screws for installation.

Can I use this hinge on doors thicker than 19 mm (3/4")?

For doors thicker than 19 mm (3/4") or those with profiled edges, a trial installation is recommended to ensure proper function and fit.

How do I adjust the door after installation?

The hinge offers both height adjustment (+/- 3.5 mm) and side adjustment via dedicated screws on the hinge. These allow you to precisely align the cabinet door.

Troubleshooting

Cabinet door is not closing fully or consistently.

First, ensure that the hinge is securely fastened to both the door and the face frame. If still an issue, check for obstructions within the cabinet opening or around the door's edge. This hinge relies on a spring mechanism, so make sure nothing is preventing its full range of motion. Also, verify that the door thickness is within the recommended 16mm-19mm range; if thicker, a trial installation may have highlighted issues.

Door is misaligned, creating uneven gaps or rubbing against the cabinet frame.

Utilize the adjustment screws on the hinge. There is typically a screw for height adjustment (+/- 3.5 mm) and another for side adjustment. Turn these screws incrementally, making small adjustments and checking the door's position until the desired alignment is achieved and gaps are even.

Hinge feels loose or the door sags over time.

Check all four screws securing the hinge to the door (boss assembly) and the mounting plate to the face frame. Tighten any loose screws. If screws are stripped, consider using slightly larger screws or repairing the screw hole with wood filler before re-inserting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable and consistent door closing due to integrated spring mechanism.
  • Easy and secure screw-on installation process.
  • Precise door alignment possible with height and side adjustment features.
  • Specifically designed for common face frame cabinet applications.
  • Comes as a complete package with hinge and necessary screws.
  • Durable Blum quality ensures long-lasting performance.

Cons

  • Only suitable for face frame cabinet applications, not frameless.
  • Trial installation recommended for doors thicker than 19mm or with profiled edges, which may require extra effort.
  • Fixed 107-degree opening angle may not suit all design preferences (e.g., wider opening angles).
  • Requires a specific 35mm bore diameter tool for door preparation.
  • Only one hinge and four screws are included per package; multiple units are often needed for a single door.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Prepare the Door: Ensure your cabinet door has a 35 mm diameter bore hole with a 1/2 inch cup depth for the hinge cup. The bore hole should be positioned according to your desired overlay.
  2. Mount the Hinge to the Door: Insert the hinge cup into the pre-drilled 35 mm hole on the cabinet door. Secure the hinge boss to the door using the provided screws.
  3. Attach to Face Frame: Position the door onto the cabinet frame, ensuring the mounting plate on the hinge aligns with the desired installation point on the face frame. Mark and pre-drill pilot holes if necessary.
  4. Secure to Frame: Fasten the mounting plate of the hinge to the cabinet's face frame using appropriate screws (4 screws are included).
  5. Adjust Door Alignment: Once secured, use the height adjustment screw (+/- 3.5 mm) and the side adjustment screw on the hinge to achieve perfect door alignment, ensuring even gaps and smooth operation.

Compatibility

  • Cabinet Type: This hinge is *specifically* designed for face frame cabinet applications. It is not suitable for frameless cabinets.
  • Door Thickness: Ideal for doors ranging from 16 mm to 19 mm (approximately 5/8" to 3/4") in thickness.
  • Thicker Doors: For doors thicker than 19 mm (3/4") or those with profiled edges, a trial installation is strongly recommended to ensure proper fit and function, as full door closure or smooth operation might be affected.

Care

  • Cleaning: Wipe down hinges periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
  • Maintenance: Occasionally check that all mounting screws are tight. If the door starts to sag or rub, re-adjust using the height and side adjustment screws. No lubrication is typically required for these types of hinges.
