Would these hinges support same amount of weight of cabinets as other type of hinges? My cabinet doors are tall. Wondering if I'd need 4 for each door

Weight isn't that much of an issue. Figure if you have a 4 ft door use 3 taller than that I'd use 4

These hinges are very strong, not sure how tall your doors are but I would suggest placing 3 hinges no need to out 4.

I have used many of these. I have four 6 ft tall doors. I used four per door. They are very sturdy hinges but as tall as my doors were, I chose to use four. Hope this helps.

Tom, I use these hinges for some types of cabinetry/doors I build professionally. I wouldn't say there is any maximum door thickness for them. There is a maximum face frame thickness of 13/16". I suppose if you have a door over 2" thick or so, it will only open 90 degrees as opposed to the 105 degrees the hinges are capable of opening--that said, thicker doors could pinch on the face frame or another door very close at the hinge side.Hope that makes sense and helps.

After a full year of operation the hinges are working fine. Doing a double installation on an EXTERIOR mount is possible. There will be a slight space between cabinets (1/4") If you do an interior mount you will need to place a vertical 1 by 4" board at the middle point so you have an attaching point for the mounting screws. This will spread your cabinets by 3/4" I mounted mine exterior, by myself and wished for an extra set of hands to help

I used this hinge (4 of them) to make folding legs for a sign I made for a charity. I donated the sign including the hinges so I no longer have it. The folding legs worked exactly as needed and still do. As I no longer have the sign or access to it I can't answer your question. M

2 hinges would suffice for a 50-lbs door i would recommend 3 for a door heavier than 50 lbs. the spring tension is adjustable they are quite good.

Soss hinges can carry lots of weight. You must get the correct hinge size for the material you are installing them in. Also the amount of hinges distributed correctly will effect the hinge strength. There great hinges. Difficult to install correctly. If done right nothing is better. I am a cabinet / designer professional

I would use hidden hinges for cabinet doors that are available at your local hardware store. These hinges are heavy duty and are intended for material that is thicker than 3/4".

Hi Hal, our doors are big and heavy and this does not work very well on them. The hinge pin is 3.5 inches, so we are thinking that this may not be long enough for you if you need 4 inches. Hope this helps.

It would be several times overkill. These are made to handle a 450 lb. door and will do so nicely. Stanley pocket door hardware would handle up to 150 lb. and will stroke 36" door fully open.

No. I believe the thickness of the wood needs to be atleast 1 inch. I used them to make a bench. I glued and screwed 2 pieces of 3/4 together. If you go on the soss website there should be a list of the minimum thickness for each model hinge.

We have a headboard made of two old doors, and we have one bracket per door. Our doors do touch the floor for added support, but each weighs about 40lbs.

However they are made, if your have your door all the way open, it stays in place there. But if you open it up to about 18 inches, when you left go of it, it begins to slowly close. It closes all the way. We bought 2 hinges for 24 doors and they work great. Also great savings compared to local stores.

Yes I believe they will. I have one I tried before I purchased the large quanity I needed. You may want to buy just one to try it on your door before purchasing a large number of them for your doors. They are a great hinge, easy to install without taking the door off, and easy to set the tension spring closer.

The brackets themselves are plenty strong. It's going to depend on your fasteners. If you can drive all your screws into solid wood like a good mirror frame and wall joists, I think these would be plenty strong. If you can't screw directly into joists, or you just want to make absolutely sure nothing is going to move, just use 1-2 additional brackets on your items. Oh, and feel free to use longer screws if you want. (I did all of the above when I hung a heavy picture.)

Hello, If your cabinets have a 35 mm diameter hole when you remove the hinge, you should be ok. If there is no hole currently, then you would need to buy a Forstner bit to install. These hinges are adjustable once installed, so there should be some wiggle room once you install them. These were a great purchase, and I saved a lot of money with this price. They are VERY sturdy hinges! Good luck.

I used one (of three total hinges) on my metal 36: fire door and it works fine. My guess is the doors weight in about 100 lbs.
