A concealed hinge, so named because the hinge is completely concealed or hidden when the door is closed, allows the door to close flush with the frame for a clean appearance. Concealed hinges are common in Europe, which is why many individuals refer to them as European hinges as well as invisible hinges.

Concealed hinges are aesthetically ideal for modern, minimalist applications, such as updated cabinetry, in which visible door hardware would detract from the design. For security reasons, many people choose a concealed hinge because it’s impossible to tamper with, since the hinge resides internally within the door.

• The closure rate is completely adjustable with an allen wrench after installation, and does not require removal of the spring closer.
• Installation can be either inside the door itself or inside the door jamb.
• Invisible Hinges open a full 180° and are a single action hinge.

About SOSS Concealed Hinges at HingeOutlet.com

HingeOutlet.com offers a selection of concealed hinges from SOSS®, the door hardware company founded by the inventory of the invisible hinge, Joseph Soss. After tripping over a protruding hinge on a ship deck more than 100 years ago, Soss created the world’s first concealed hinge.

The concealed hinge became widely used on jewelry cases, humidors, bookshelves that swing open to reveal hidden rooms, and even cargo holds on ship decks. Henry Ford used the hinge on the glove boxes of his early model automobiles.

Famed American architect Frank Lloyd Wright liked the clean, uncluttered look of the SOSS® hinge, and specified it for doors on many of his most notable commercial and residential structures.

Today doors on many of the world’s most recognized landmarks are equipped with SOSS® Invisible Hinges, including the White House, Buckingham Palace, Disneyland, the Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City, and Esplanade By The Bay in Singapore.
