'Push to open' cabinet hinges are used on installations where the design calls for a clean line without the need for cupboard handles and are suitable for the majority of cabinet assemblies.
Use the diagrams below to select the correct hinge which is based on the position of the cabinet door on the cabinet and will be either full, half or inset.
A C Sissling offer a limited range from stock but can supply the full range if required, see the technical data sheet for details of the whole range. Dimension H refers to the height of the required mounting plate which can be calculated using the formula shown for each hinge.
Key to dimensions
S = Carcase Thickness
T = Door Thickness
A = Door Inset from Carcase Edge
L = Space between Door and Carcase Face
K = Distance from Door Edge - Hole for Hinge
D = S - A
H = Mounting Plate Height from calculation shown
Use a hinge with 0mm of Crank or a Full hinge if the cupboard door fully overlaps the carcase as shown left.
Use the following formula to calculate the height of the mounting plate required: H = 15 + K - D
Use a hinge with 9mm of Crank or a Half hinge if the cupboard door partially overlaps the carcase as shown left.
Use the following formula to calculate the height of the mounting plate required: H = 6 + K - D
Use a hinge with 17mm of Crank or an Inset hinge if the cupboard door in inset to the carcase as shown left.
Use the following formula to calculate the height of the mounting plate required: H = K + A - 2
Use the Chart below to determine the spacing needed to ensure that the door opens.
