This set of 2 soft-close cabinet hinges, designed by Chibery, is the ideal solution for equipping your kitchens, corner cabinets (Lazy Susan), and frameless furniture. With an impressive 165-degree opening angle, these robust satin nickel-finished steel alloy hinges offer full access to the interior of your cabinets, even in the most difficult corners. Their fully adjustable 4D design (vertical, horizontal, depth, closing speed) ensures perfect alignment and sag-free installation. The integrated POM damper ensures soft and silent closing (adjustable from 3 to 8 seconds), while the stop-at-any-angle feature (beyond 45°) offers exceptional flexibility, especially near walls. ISO9001, ISO14001, BHMA, KCMA, and SGS certified, these hinges have been tested to withstand over 100,000 opening/closing cycles and over 48 hours of salt spray testing, guaranteeing exceptional durability.

165° opening angle – Full access to corner cabinets:
The 165-degree opening angle is one of the key features of these hinges. Unlike standard hinges (90° or 110°), this model allows the door to open almost flat, providing maximum access to the cabinet interior. This function is particularly valuable for corner cabinets (Lazy Susan), deep cupboards, or storage where every inch of access counts. No more visual obstacles and limited access – with a 165° opening, you can easily see and reach every corner of your furniture.
Adjustable 4D design – Millimeter precision:
These new generation hinges offer four degrees of freedom for perfect door alignment, regardless of initial installation imperfections:
-
Vertical adjustment: Adjust the height of the door relative to the cabinet frame for perfect alignment of the gaps.
-
Horizontal adjustment: Shift the door sideways to perfectly center the gap between adjacent doors.
-
Depth adjustment: Move the door closer to or further from the cabinet frame for a perfect flush with neighboring furniture.
-
Closing speed adjustment: Adjust the POM damper's timing from 3 to 8 seconds. A slower closing (8s) for absolute silence and gentle handling, or faster (3s) for dynamic closing.
All these adjustments are made simply with a screwdriver, without disassembling the hinge or removing the door. This flexibility compensates for drilling inaccuracies, slight wood deformation, or settlement over time, guaranteeing a professional installation regardless of the installer's skill level.
Soft-close POM – Silence and protection:
Each hinge incorporates a POM (polyoxymethylene) damper, a high-performance polymer with a low coefficient of friction and excellent mechanical damping properties. This damper captures the kinetic energy of the door at the end of its travel and gradually slows its closing, eliminating:
-
The sudden slam of the door against the frame.
-
The vibrations transmitted to objects stored inside.
-
The premature wear of screws, hinges, and doors (repeated impacts).
-
The risk of pinching children's fingers (slow and controlled closing).
The closing speed can be set according to your preferences, from 3 seconds (controlled but fast closing) to 8 seconds (ultra-soft monitored closing).
Stop at any angle – Total flexibility:
Unlike standard hinges that only hold open at 90° or 110°, this model can stop at any angle greater than 45°. This feature is extremely practical in constrained configurations:
-
Near a wall: open the door to an intermediate angle (e.g., 80°) without it hitting the wall or closing by itself.
-
Partial access: hold the door at a reduced opening while you store or clean.
-
Ventilation: leave the door ajar at a stable angle to air out the cabinet without it moving with air currents.
-
Child safety: blocks the door at a narrow opening to prevent access while avoiding full closure.
Technical note: below 45°, the return mechanism engages and the door closes automatically (with soft closing). Above 45°, it remains in the chosen position.
Compatibility – For frameless cabinets:
These hinges are specially designed for frameless cabinets (European style), where the door completely overlays the cabinet box (full overlay). The cup depth of 13.5 mm and the 45 mm distance between screw holes meet modern kitchen standards. Doors with a thickness between 14 mm and 22 mm are accepted. The included clip plate allows for quick mounting without unscrewing the hinges once the plate is fixed – practical for fine-tuning or replacement without removing the door.
Quality and robustness – Certifications and tests:
Chibery has subjected these hinges to rigorous validation tests, far beyond standard household use:
-
More than 100,000 opening/closing cycles: simulates several decades of daily use (approximately 10 openings per day for 27 years). Exceptional mechanical fatigue resistance.
-
More than 48 hours in salt spray test: attests to excellent corrosion resistance, even in humid environments (kitchen, bathroom, seaside). The nickel finish effectively protects steel against oxidation.
These hinges are certified according to several demanding standards:
-
ISO9001: Quality management – controlled manufacturing processes.
-
ISO14001: Environmental management – responsible production.
-
BHMA: American National Standard for Builders Hardware – American standard for building hardware.
-
KCMA: Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association – certification for kitchen cabinet components.
-
SGS: Independent laboratory tests validating announced performance.
Installation – Simplicity and included accessories:
The package contains everything needed for quick assembly:
-
2 quick-release dowels: for solid, play-free installation.
-
4 self-tapping wood screws: superior quality, countersunk head, no wood splitting.
-
2 screw covers: to hide visible screw heads, offering an aesthetic and clean finish.
-
Pre-installed clip plate: fix the plate to the cabinet frame, then clip the hinge in one go.
No special tools are required – a simple Phillips head screwdriver is sufficient.
Marking and traceability:
The hinges feature a uniform, flawless nickel finish, with guides for the two screw covers for a professional appearance. The absence of burrs, the regularity of the drillings, and the precision of the 4D adjustments testify to an advanced industrial manufacturing level.
