DecoBasics Full Overlay Soft Close Hinges: Perfect for Kitchen Cabinets

nicholas: I purchased the DecoBasics Full Overlay Soft Close Cabinet Hinges for a van build project, and overall, they've been a solid addition. The soft close feature is one of the highlights for me, working smoothly and adding a touch of quiet elegance to my cabinetry. It's a pleasure not to hear the banging of cabinet doors, especially in a compact van space.

The quality of these hinges is good, though not quite on par with some of the name brands I've used before. However, considering the price point, they offer great value. They feel durable and were fairly easy to install, even with my moderate handyman skills. The included screws and clip-on plate made the installation straightforward.

The 3-way adjustability is a useful feature, allowing for some fine-tuning to get the doors to hang just right. It took a bit of tweaking to get everything aligned perfectly, but once adjusted, the doors opened and closed smoothly.

One thing that stood out as a minus was that the adjustment process wasn’t as refined as I've experienced with some other brands. It took a bit more effort to get everything just so, but in the end, the result was satisfactory.

In conclusion, if...

Doug B: Just installed 60 hinges, one hinge had some problem and was not used. Okay at the price. Check all adjustments are centered before installing.

Mariah: The Kitchen Cabinet Frameless Hinges have been a pleasant surprise in my home improvement project. They are easy to install and adjust, making cabinet door alignment a breeze. The soft-closing feature is fantastic, preventing loud and abrupt cabinet door slams. The hinges' durability and smooth operation are impressive, even with daily use. However, the instructions could be more detailed for those less experienced in DIY projects. Overall, these hinges have given my kitchen cabinets a modern and functional upgrade, and they've exceeded my expectations in terms of both performance and ease of installation. A worthwhile investment for any cabinet renovation.

Rich Rootes: Been thinking about replacing my old ‘slam’ hinges for years - finally took the plunge and wow what a difference. Door footprint matches precisely - and because I’m a bit OCD and don’t like drilling unnecessary holes, I swapped over the old plate. Takes a bit of fiddling, but once you get the hang of it, only takes about a minute to do

Cupboard end holes do need to be enlarged - but this is an upgrade that’s well worth the effort. Five stars all round

Jeff: I ordered a pack of 40 for my kitchen and I'm very happy I did. The quality is top notch, right up there with Blum, and the soft close works great. I read comments before buying and 1 had mentioned you need to drill out the in-cabinet side to fit the larger screws that most euro hinges come with. I drilled mine out has they were going into existing cabinets that already had the larger screws. If drilling out a few holes to save some money isn't for you then look elsewhere. For me, they fit the bill and saved me hundreds for the same quality I could get with the name brands. I highly recommend and would buy again

Amazon Customer: This is almost perfect except the hole is too small on the cabinet side as my cabinet is prefabricated (like Ikeas but is not Ikea). Need to use a drill to make holes bigger. Hoping for an option to buy the mounting plate with bigger holes

Kevin Easton: To be transparent I have an AYA builder kitchen from 2009 with cheap builder hinges.

I have swapped a couple of these out to test and so far they are fine.

They come with 3 way adjustments, but I can say that the verticale adjustment is not very user friendly I’ve managed to strip a screw or two.

I’m sure there is a better way to adjust them than what I have tried.

None the less they work and I’ve managed to adjust them to fit.

Thomas AThomas A: This product would have worked perfectly fine, but unlike most other hinges that I've seen online, and which I didn't notice at first, this hinge has some extra space between where the screws go in and the hinge. As you can see in the image, for my cabinet I only have a small area of space to put in the screws, and this causes the hinge to stick out too much. So this product does not work for me.

Karney LiKarney Li: The media could not be loaded.  The hinges are easy to install. To drill the holes, I used the kreg hole jig and this made the task a breeze. They start to soft close about 4-5" away as seen in the video. I would advise drilling and mounting the hinges on the door first, align the door to the cabinet, draw the holes on the cabinet then drill the holes for the cabinet mounting plate, there's only so much play. You can get pretty good 3D adjustment with the hinges, almost 1/4" left and right. The up and down adjustment is hard to control as you need to technically adjust both top and bottom hinges and the adjustment screw can easy get stripped (maybe I shouldn't have used a impact driver to adjust them). Removing a door and remounting it to the cabinet plate is not easy. The release & clip mechanism is not as nice as those on the Blum hinges. Nevertheless these hinges are a great value, I would totally buy them again. I'll be hanging some massive 90x30" doors with these hinges as well, hopefully they hold up just as well.

Marc R. Baril: I needed several hinges for some shop cabinets and I couldn't justify the cost of my favorite name brand (starts with a "B") hinge. The only significant disadvantages I found were:

1) There is no vertical adjustment for the doors, as you would find in more expensive hinges. This is not surprising for a hinge produced at this price point.

2) Fit and finish, although excellent, is not at the same aesthetic level as the more expensive hinges. However, they are very well made and consistent in quality.

3) Adjustments, particularly lateral adjustment on the doors, seem loose and will probably move over time. Some releasable thread locker (e.g. blue "Loctite") would be appreciated on these screws.

3) No instructions!

This last point sounds like a minor issue, but it isn't. Every European style hinge out there has a very specific optimum offset for the mounting holes on the cabinet side. Since no instructions are provided, this needs to be determined by trial and error with the front-to-back adjustment of the hinge set to its center point. Do not try to figure this out with your actual door - use a test piece! I found that the offset from the front of...
