What are 3D concealed hinges?

3D concealed hinges are hidden door hinges recessed into both the door and frame, allowing precise height, depth, and side adjustment. They are designed for flush doors, fire doors, and high-end cabinetry.

Are 3D concealed hinges suitable for fire doors?

Yes, many 3D concealed hinges are fire door rated to UK standards. Always verify the hinge model’s certification and suitability for the door’s fire rating and weight before installation.

What does 3D adjustment mean on a concealed hinge?

3D adjustment means the hinge can be fine-tuned in three directions: height (up/down), depth (in/out), and side (left/right). This helps achieve an even, professional door gap and smooth closing.

How do I choose the right concealed hinge for my door weight?

Choose a hinge rated for your door’s weight and size, and consider door type (timber, flush), frequency of use, and whether it must be fire-rated. Heavier doors generally require higher load-rated hinges and correct quantity/positioning.

Do concealed hinges work on internal doors and cupboards?

Yes. 3D concealed hinges are commonly used on internal flush doors for a minimalist look and on premium cabinetry where a clean, hidden hinge line is preferred.

Can I retrofit 3D concealed hinges to an existing door?

Often yes, but it depends on the door thickness, frame type, and whether accurate recessing can be achieved. Retrofitting typically requires precise routing and correct hinge positioning to maintain alignment.
