Special doors need special hinges
Corner units, glass panels and heavy wardrobe doors each need a different hinge. Send the door and we recommend the match.

165°, 135°, 90° and 45° versions for corner units, pull-outs and doors that must open fully.
Glass & frameGlass & aluminium frame
Hinges for glass panels and narrow aluminium-frame doors, fitted without drilling the glass where possible.
Thick & heavyThick & heavy doors
Deeper cups and stronger arms for thick, tall or heavy doors such as wardrobes and larders.
Also on request: lift-up fittings and push-to-open systems from the same factories.
Which special hinge for which door
If your door is unusual, send its thickness, material, size and a photo. We find the hinge that fits before we quote.
| Hinge | Typical use | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 165° / 170° wide-angle | Corner units, pull-out baskets, internal drawers | Door opens fully so inner drawers clear the door |
| 135°, 90°, 45° angle | Angled cabinets, corner and diagonal units | Arm is pre-set to the cabinet angle |
| Blind corner (zero-protrusion) | Corner units next to another cabinet | Door does not stick out when open |
| Glass-door hinge | Display cabinets, 4–6 mm glass doors | Clamps the glass; drilling the glass is avoided where possible |
| Aluminium-frame hinge | Narrow aluminium frames, often 19–20 mm | Fits the frame profile; frame type must be confirmed |
| Thick-door hinge | Doors up to about 32–40 mm | Deep cup and stronger spring |
| Mini / small-cup hinge | Small doors, 26 mm cups for thin panels | For bathroom, office and small storage units |
Figures are typical values for this product type. The exact specification, tolerances and test results for your model are confirmed in writing with your quote.
What we check for special doors
Clearance
Whether the open door hits a wall, handle or the next cabinet.
Weight
Glass and thick doors are heavier; we add hinges or a stronger arm.
Compatibility
Whether the hinge fits the plates and boring you already use.
