What types of blind hinges are there and what are their differences?

Insert hinges are specially designed hinges that are fitted into a drilled hole in the door or cabinet frame. There are various types that differ in design, function, and installation method.

• Classic insert hinges: These are easy to install, as they only need to be inserted into the pre-drilled hole and then secured. They are ideal for simple and lightweight doors or cabinet doors.
• Cup hinges: Cup hinges, also known as concealed hinges, are a type of insert hinge that is fitted into a deep drilled hole or cup in the frame. They are particularly sturdy and are therefore well suited for heavy doors or doors with special requirements, such as pivot or folding doors.
• Concealed hinges: These hinges are fully recessed into the wood, so they are invisible when closed. They offer a clean and minimalist look and are ideal for modern, design-oriented interiors.
• Special hinges: Some insert hinges are designed for specific applications, such as flap or folding systems. These may have special features such as integrated damping or adjustable tension.

Each type of hinge has its own advantages and ideal applications. Think carefully about the requirements and design of your door or cabinet before making a decision.
