Hinges - Full Leaf/Flat
Full leaf or flat hinges are a type of hinge design that is mostly used in the construction of furniture and for attaching doors to cabinets. These types of hinges have a flat, rectangular shape and this design allows them to sit flush against the surface they are mounted on which provides a neat and tidy appearance.
Full leaf hinges consist of two flat plates, known as leaves, that are joined together along one edge. These hinges are usually surface-mounted which means that they are attached to the outside surfaces of the doors or units. Depending on the specific design, full leaf hinges can be used for overlay applications, where the door or lid overlaps the cabinet frame, or inset applications, where the door or lid is flush with the cabinet frame.
Full leaf or flat hinges are most commonly used in the construction of cabinets, doors and drawers, and they are also popular when making kitchen cabinetry and bathroom cabinets. They can also be used in the construction of decorative boxes, chests and other storage containers where the hinge can also contribute to the overall design and style of the object. While full leaf or flat hinges offer a clean look and design, they may not provide the same level of strength or durability as other hinge types, such as butt hinges or continuous hinges. We would recommend that you consider the specific application, weight requirements and desired style of the hinge before making your selection.
