Cosmas Cabinet Hinges

Shop Cosmas cabinet hinges for replacement projects, new cabinetry, furniture, and built-ins. This collection includes decorative face-frame hinges and compact concealed hinges in several overlay, inset, closing-action, and finish options.

Choosing the correct cabinet hinge requires more than matching its color. Compare the mounting style, overlay or inset measurement, cabinet construction, door profile, screw-hole placement, and closing action before ordering a replacement.

Available Cosmas cabinet-hinge styles

• Variable-overlay hinges: visible, self-closing face-frame hinges designed to accommodate varying cabinet-door overlays.
• 3/8-inch inset hinges: self-closing face-frame hinges for doors with a 3/8-inch inset or lipped-door configuration.
• Reverse-bevel hinges: variable-overlay hinges designed for cabinet doors with a 30-degree reverse-bevel edge.
• Partial-wrap hinges: hinges that wrap around part of the cabinet frame for additional mounting support.
• Full-inset ball-tip hinges: decorative partial-wrap hinges for compatible full-inset cabinet-door applications.
• Compact concealed hinges: European-style hinges installed inside the cabinet so the hinge is not visible when the door is closed.
• Soft-close concealed hinges: hinges with a damping mechanism that slows the cabinet door as it closes.

Understanding overlay and inset

Overlay describes how far a closed cabinet door extends over the cabinet frame or opening. Inset describes a door that sits partially or completely within the cabinet opening. A 1/2-inch overlay hinge, variable-overlay hinge, 3/8-inch inset hinge, and full-inset hinge are not automatically interchangeable.

If replacing an existing hinge, identify its mounting style and measure the door position carefully. Comparing the existing hinge’s dimensions, mounting holes, door profile, and overlay or inset configuration is usually the safest way to identify a compatible replacement.

Available cabinet-hinge finishes

Cosmas decorative cabinet hinges are available in finishes including Brushed Brass, Flat Black, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Polished Chrome, Satin Nickel, and Weathered Nickel. Available finishes vary by hinge style.

Match visible hinges with your cabinet knobs and pulls when you want a coordinated appearance. Because finish appearance can vary with material, lighting, and production runs, compare individual product photographs when a close match is important.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does cabinet-door overlay mean?

Overlay is the amount by which a closed cabinet door covers the cabinet frame or opening. Common examples include 1/2-inch overlay and 1-1/4-inch full overlay. The hinge must be compatible with the door’s overlay.

What is a 3/8-inch inset cabinet hinge?

A 3/8-inch inset hinge is designed for a compatible lipped cabinet door that partially enters the cabinet opening. It should not be substituted for an overlay or full-inset hinge without confirming the cabinet-door construction.

What is a variable-overlay cabinet hinge?

A variable-overlay hinge is a face-frame hinge that can accommodate a range of door overlays rather than one fixed overlay measurement. Confirm the hinge dimensions and door configuration before ordering.

What is the difference between concealed and decorative hinges?

Concealed hinges mount inside the cabinet and are hidden when the door is closed. Decorative face-frame hinges remain visible and may be selected in a finish that coordinates with the cabinet knobs and pulls.

What is the difference between soft-close and self-closing hinges?

A self-closing hinge pulls the door toward the closed position. A soft-close hinge also uses a damping mechanism to slow the door during the final part of closing.

How do I find a replacement cabinet hinge?

Identify whether the existing hinge is concealed or visible, then compare its overlay or inset measurement, mounting style, dimensions, screw-hole placement, door profile, and closing action. Matching only the finish is not enough to ensure compatibility.

Are Cosmas cabinet hinges sold individually or in pairs?

Many decorative Cosmas cabinet hinges are sold by the pair, while concealed hinges may be sold individually. Check the product title and pack-quantity selection carefully. If a hinge is sold by the pair, ordering one pair provides two hinges.

Are mounting screws included?

Mounting hardware is included with the cabinet hinges shown in this collection. Review the individual product specifications to confirm what is included and whether the supplied screws are suitable for your application.

Are cabinet hinges and door hinges interchangeable?

No. Cabinet hinges are designed for cabinet doors and furniture applications. For full-size interior or exterior doors, browse the Cosmas Door Hinges collection.
