Hinges - Concealed

Concealed hinges, which are also referred to as invisible or hidden hinges, are a type of hinge mechanism designed to be completely hidden from view when doors or cabinets are closed. They are most often used in high-end furniture, cabinetry and interior design where a clean and seamless appearance is needed. At FA Parkes, we stock several types of invisible hinges. They work by mounting one part of the hinge mechanism into the door or cabinet frame and the other part into the cabinet side or carcass. When the door is closed, the hinge components are recessed and concealed within the door and cabinet edges which leaves no trace of the mechanical hardware on the exterior surfaces.

The benefits of concealed hinges include giving a clean appearance to furniture, cabinets and doors, which enhances their design appeal. They also make furniture easier to access as they allow doors and cabinets to open at a wide angle and close smoothly. High-quality concealed hinges are designed for heavy-duty use and can withstand repeated opening and closing over time. Hidden hinges are often used in modern kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanity cupboards, furniture pieces such as entertainment centres and even on some interior doors. They may have a higher price point than traditional exposed hinges but they are valued for their ability to create a seamless look on furniture throughout the home.

At FA Parkes, we stock a wide range of hidden hinges made from stainless steel, steel and die cast zinc from manufacturers such as Dirak, EMKA, Pinet Industrie and Gold & Wassall. Once you select which invisible hinges you need for your project, the shipping charges will be calculated when you check out.
