The best concealed hinges, compared.
Top pick: TASMIA 10-pack 110° slide-on Best value: Kamtop 20-pack 110° full overlay – About £26.99 for 20 hinges, about £1.35 each, with 4.5 from 248 ratings. Cup depth is not stated. Updated 22.10.2026.
A concealed hinge on amazon.co.uk is one of two products. A European cabinet hinge uses a cup bored in the door. An invisible hinge is mortised into a thick passage door or a furniture edge. UK kitchen doors usually take a 35 mm cup, and the first choice is full overlay, half overlay or inset, not which pack is cheapest. Soft close means a damper that slows the last part of the swing. One pack says it has no soft close. A 35 mm hole does not make hinges interchangeable: cup depth, the screw pattern and the mounting plate have to match the hinge you take off. Overlay, cup depth and plate are set out in the [concealed hinge buying guide](/hub/diy-supplies/concealed-hinges/sub/concealed-hinges-buying-guide). Full overlay means the door covers the side. Half overlay means two doors share a partition. Inset means the door sits inside the opening. Häfele UK maps these to roughly 0 mm, 8 mm and 15 mm crank. Titus uses 0 mm, 5 or 9 mm, and 15 or 17 mm.

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
What are you hanging?
The TASMIA 10-pack is £14.99 for ten slide-on 35 mm full-overlay hinges at 110°, and the bullet states that this hinge does not have a soft-close function. It is described as self closing, with 40 screws in the pack. amazon.co.uk shows 4.8 from 6 ratings, and only three written reviews are in the file, all from the United Kingdom. One buyer replaced broken hinges on an existing mounting and called them good value. Another said they did not fit the Ikea furniture they expected, and the listing does not claim Ikea. The dimensions field is 30 × 10 mm, which is smaller than the 35 mm cup, so that row is not the cup size. Cup depth and door thickness are not stated. Six ratings and three texts are too few to treat 4.8 as evidence of a kitchen that has been in use.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A full-overlay door where you want a spring to pull the door shut and you do not want a damper.
Less suitable: A kitchen where the door must not slam, or an Ikea hinge pattern.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a soft-close hinge?
No. The bullet states that this hinge does not have a soft-close function. It is described as self closing.
Do the size lines agree?
The cup is 35 mm. The dimensions field is 30 × 10 mm, which is smaller than that cup, so that row is not the cup size.
Will they fit Ikea?
The listing does not claim Ikea. One of three UK reviews says they did not fit the Ikea furniture that buyer expected.
The Furniware 10-pack is £26.99 for ten clip-on full-overlay hinges with a POM damper, a stated close of 3–8 seconds, and a stay between 45° and 105°. The listing prints a 13.5 mm cup depth, 14–22 mm doors, 45 mm screw spacing and 4-way adjustment, including closing speed. Cup diameter is not stated. amazon.co.uk shows 4.7 from 10 ratings, and all ten written reviews in the file are from the United Kingdom. A first-time fitter used them on a bathroom cabinet and described a close that slows the door rather than grabbing at the end. One UK review said a 35 mm hole in an old MFI door was not deep enough for this cup, and another thought the tabs would stop the door short of 90°. Instructions for the adjustable opening were missing for at least one buyer, and small scratches were blamed on a plain bag. Ten reviews is a thin sample beside the 200-plus sets here, so treat the 4.7 as a short list rather than a long service record.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A full-overlay door where you want to set the closing speed and the old cup is at least 13.5 mm deep.
Less suitable: A shallow existing bore, or a buyer who wants a large UK sample before fitting a whole kitchen.
Specifications
Common questions
How does the closing action differ from a plain spring?
The listing states a POM damper, a close of 3–8 seconds, a stay between 45° and 105°, and self-close below 45°.
Will the cup fit an old 35 mm hole?
Cup diameter is not stated. Cup depth is 13.5 mm. One UK review said a 35 mm hole in an old MFI door was not deep enough.
Are screws included?
Yes. The pack line is 10 soft-close hinges and screws included.
The Furniware 4-pack is a 110° full-overlay cup hinge at £12.99, with a 35 mm cup, 11.5 mm cup depth and a stated door thickness of 14–22 mm. Across 222 amazon.co.uk ratings it sits at 4.6, and the first 50 written reviews in the file are all from the United Kingdom. Reviewers use it to rehang kitchen doors that had come off, and they use the 3-way adjustment to line the doors up. The hydraulic damper is described as slowing the door rather than letting it slam. One hinge in a pack arrived in two parts and had to be reassembled, and another buyer found the screw pattern did not match the old holes. Included Components does not list screws, though one UK review says the screws supplied seemed very good. The attribute line also says face mount while the bullet describes a cup, and the material field says alloy steel against a cold-rolled steel bullet. It is the top pick here for a frameless full-overlay door when you want the cup depth in writing and a large UK sample, and a weak match if your old plate uses a different hole pattern.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A frameless kitchen door that already uses a full-overlay 35 mm cup and needs two or four replacements.
Less suitable: A face-frame cabinet, a half-overlay partition, or a plate whose holes do not match.
Specifications
Common questions
What cup and overlay does the listing state?
Full overlay for frameless cabinets, 110°, a 35 mm cup, 11.5 mm cup depth, and 45 mm hole distance. Door thickness is stated as 14–22 mm.
Are screws listed in the box contents?
Included Components does not list screws. One UK review says the screws supplied seemed very good, so the count is not stated.
What did UK reviews say about fitting?
Among the first 50 UK reviews, buyers describe an easy kitchen replacement and a soft close that slows the door. One hinge arrived in two parts, and one screw pattern did not match the old holes.
The Kamtop pack is 20 full-overlay 35 mm hinges at £26.99, about £1.35 each, with a stated 110° opening, a hydraulic damper and an 8 kg load. amazon.co.uk shows 4.5 from 248 ratings, and 44 of the first 50 written reviews are from the United Kingdom. Buyers describe an easy fit on existing kitchen cupboards, a compact damper, and metal they call thicker than they expected at this price. Cup depth, door thickness and a numbered adjustment are not in the listing, so you cannot check those against the old hinge from the page. One buyer received a mounting plate that did not match the photograph, and another expected different hinge screws and got small countersunk screws. The attribute field says alloy steel while the bullet says stainless steel. It is the best value when you are hanging a run of frameless full-overlay doors and can spare a hinge if the plate is wrong, and a poor fit for a face-frame carcass or a half-overlay door.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A run of frameless full-overlay cupboard doors where about £1.35 a hinge matters.
Less suitable: Half overlay, inset, or a carcass that is not frameless.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this only for frameless full overlay?
Yes. The listing states full overlay and frameless mount only, for kitchen, cupboard and wardrobe use.
Why do the material lines disagree?
The attribute field says alloy steel. The bullet and finish field say stainless steel. Both lines stay.
Did buyers get the screws they expected?
The bullet says 20 hinges and 120 screws. One reviewer expected different hinge screws and received small countersunk screws. Another said the plate did not match the photograph.
The Heuskay 2-pack is £9.99 for two 180° concealed cross hinges in zinc alloy, aimed at furniture edges and folding doors rather than a 35 mm kitchen cup. amazon.co.uk shows 4.5 from 75 ratings. Of 27 written reviews in the file, three are from the United Kingdom and the rest are from Sweden, Spain and the United States. A review describes them as strong enough for a folding-table centre insert, and a United States review mentions a small gap on a desk lift-top. The bullet says 13 × 45 mm, the dimensions field says 45 × 45 mm, and the title says 45 mm, so the size is not one figure. Screws are not stated. A UK review says no template or fitting instructions were included and that a router is needed, and calls them useless unless you already know the mortise. It is a cheap pair for a small folding flap if you can rout the pocket.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A small folding door or furniture edge when you already know the mortise and have a router.
Less suitable: A kitchen cupboard, a first concealed hinge, or a buyer who needs screws and a template in the box.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a 35 mm kitchen hinge?
No. It is a small concealed cross hinge for cabinet edges, folding doors and similar furniture, opening to 180°.
Are screws and a template included?
Screws are not stated. A UK review says no template or fitting instructions were included and that a router is needed.
Which size figure should you trust?
The bullet says 13 × 45 mm. The dimensions field says 45 × 45 mm. The title says 45 mm. All three stay.
The TVOOD listing is a black 180° concealed door hinge at £24.92, with 3-way adjustment of ±2.5 mm up and down, ±2.5 mm left and right, and ±1.5 mm in depth. The bullet states 40 kg when two hinges are used. The title says a 2-pack and the unit-count field is 1.0, so the price may be for one hinge or for two. amazon.co.uk shows 4.5 from 3 ratings, with two United Kingdom reviews in the file. Those two texts call the build solid and say it is concealed once installed, and neither describes a defect. Silent close is nylon pads, not a hydraulic cabinet damper. Smoke-proof appears as a marketing word, with no BS EN 1935 or fire-test line. It is a mortise hinge for a thick swing door if you can confirm how many are in the box, and it is not a kitchen cup hinge.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A wooden or aluminium swing door where you want a concealed 180° hinge and you can check the pack count.
Less suitable: A kitchen cupboard, a fire door, or a buyer who needs a large UK sample.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a kitchen cup hinge?
No. It is a concealed invisible door hinge, not a 35 mm cabinet cup. The bullet names wooden, aluminium, swing, smoke-proof or soundproof doors.
How many are in the pack?
The title says a 2-pack. The unit-count field is 1.0. Both figures stay.
Is the smoke-proof line a fire-door certificate?
No. Smoke-proof is a marketing word in the bullet. There is no BS EN 1935 or fire-test line on the listing.
The JIODEKEYI listing is a zinc-alloy concealed door hinge at £23.48, with a stated 180° opening, a 40 kg load and 3-way adjustment of ±2.5 mm up and down, ±2.5 mm left and right, and ±1.5 mm in depth. The size line is 15 × 6.4 cm and the weight is 910 g. The unit-count field is 1.0. amazon.co.uk shows 4.5 from 2 ratings. The one captured UK review is an emoji and a line that it was what the buyer expected, with no fitting detail and no defect. The bullet says suitable for fire-rated doors, and the listing has no standard number, test report or melting point. Soft close is not stated, and screws are not stated. Two ratings and an emoji are not enough to judge a mortise.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Comparing a single 180° zinc-alloy mortise hinge on the printed specification.
Less suitable: A fire door, a kitchen cup, or anyone who wants UK fitting notes before they cut a mortise.
Specifications
Common questions
What does the listing actually name?
Brand is JIODEKEYI. The long English title line is not in the file. The bullets describe a 180° concealed hinge in zinc alloy.
Does the listing prove a fire rating?
The bullet says suitable for fire-rated doors. The listing has no standard number, test report, or melting-point line.
What do the reviews say?
4.5 from 2 ratings. The one captured UK review is an emoji and a line that it was what the buyer expected. No defect is described.
The Furniware wide-angle 4-pack is £20.99, with a stated opening of 130° to 170°, a hydraulic damper, a 15 kg load and doors of 16–30 mm. No 35 mm cup is listed. The bullet says the hinge pushes the door out by 1/2 inch, and the pack includes 32 self-tapping screws. amazon.co.uk shows 4.3 from 251 ratings, with 49 United Kingdom reviews in the first 50. Buyers fit it without a cup recess and report it holding an MDF door of about 12–15 kg and a heavy oak top. The same notes call the arm chunky: one return was because the arm fouled the carcass, and one buyer found the geometry wrong for the middle of a lazy Susan bi-fold. Overlay is claimed as full, half and inset, which is a claim on a surface hinge rather than three measured cranks. It is the hinge in this set for a corner, a flap or a trap door when you can check clearance, and a poor default for a standard cupboard door that already has a cup.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A corner cabinet, upward flap or trap door where a cup cannot be bored and the arm has clearance.
Less suitable: A standard 110° cupboard door, or the centre hinge of a lazy Susan bi-fold.
Specifications
Common questions
Is this a standard 35 mm kitchen cup?
No cup diameter is listed. It is a wide-angle surface-style hinge for corner cabinets, lazy Susans, upward flaps and trap doors.
What opening and load are stated?
Opening is adjustable from 130° to 170°. Load is 15 kg. Door thickness is 16–30 mm. The pack includes 32 self-tapping screws.
What went wrong in UK reviews?
Buyers praise a fit without a cup recess. Complaints include a chunky arm that fouled the carcass and the wrong geometry for the middle of a lazy Susan bi-fold.
The Furniware 90° surface-mount 4-pack is £12.99, with a stated soft close and no 35 mm cup. The listing claims full, half or inset overlay and includes 32 screws. amazon.co.uk shows 4.3 from 205 ratings, and 41 of the first 50 written reviews are from the United Kingdom. Reviewers describe a quick fit, an instruction sheet, and a working soft close, including a wardrobe converted from sliding doors where a cup could not be bored. Play in the rivets comes up as a repeated complaint, and the adjustment is described as less than a bored kitchen hinge, with height taking several attempts. One review says a hinge broke within a week and was not very strong. The pack weighs 500 g. It suits a light door that must go on without a Forstner bit, and it is a weak substitute for a 35 mm cup hinge when you need the same adjustment range.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A light cupboard or wardrobe door where you cannot bore a 35 mm cup and 90° is enough.
Less suitable: A heavy door, or a kitchen that needs the adjustment range of a cup hinge.
Specifications
Common questions
Do I need to bore a cup?
No. The listing is a surface-mount hinge and says no pre-drilled cup is required.
How far does it open?
90°. Soft close is stated. Overlay is claimed as full, half or inset.
What did reviewers criticise?
UK reviews mention a quick fit and a working soft close, and also rivet play, less adjustment than a bored kitchen hinge, and one hinge that broke within a week.
The WMLBK 2-pack is a black 180° cross hinge at £23.46, sized about 15 × 5 cm, with mounting screws listed and a load field of 176 lb. amazon.co.uk shows 4.0 from 20 ratings, and the six written reviews in the file are all from the United Kingdom. Reviewers call the mechanism heavy and smooth, and one sees it as usable for cabinet making. The bullet prints adjustment of ±2 mm horizontal, ±3 mm vertical and ±1 mm depth, but one buyer says their sample had no adjustment and was too large for a standard door frame. Another hinge snapped in the middle while it was being fastened. Instructions were missing or in Chinese. Quiet running is described as roller tracks, not a hydraulic cabinet damper. It is a heavy cross hinge for a wooden or folding door if you already know the mortise, and a risky buy for a standard frame.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A wooden or folding door where you want a heavy 180° cross hinge and you can mortise it without English instructions.
Less suitable: A standard door frame, a kitchen cup, or a first mortise.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the close a cabinet damper?
No. The listing describes ultra-quiet roller tracks, not a hydraulic cabinet damper.
What load is printed?
The attribute field says 176 pounds. It is not restated as a kilogram figure.
What did UK reviews report?
Six UK reviews. Praise for a heavy mechanism, criticism for missing or Chinese instructions, a hinge that snapped while being fastened, and one sample with no adjustment that was too large for a standard frame.
The VigilLox 2-pack is a flush-mount 110° hinge at £19.54 for doors at least 40 mm thick, with a recess of about 13 mm. The attribute load is 50 kg and the bullet says 110 lb per pair, so both figures stay and they do not agree. Adjustment is ±3 mm vertical and ±1 mm horizontal. amazon.co.uk shows 3.5 from 7 ratings, with four United Kingdom reviews. One reviewer accepts the concealed look and the stated 50 kg across both hinges, and the hardware arrived with printed instructions. Play developed in the pin of the top hinge, one door was not flush when closed, and one buyer returned the pair as incompatible with the job. Quiet operation is washers, not a hydraulic damper, and the screw count is 10 in one row and 20 in the bullet. The listing says drilling and slotting are required and suggests a professional if the mortise is unfamiliar.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A door at least 40 mm thick, such as a bookcase leaf, if you can mortise it or hire a joiner.
Less suitable: An 18 mm kitchen door, a fire door, or a flush fit you cannot correct after pin play.
Specifications
Common questions
How thick must the door be?
At least 40 mm. The recess is about 13 mm. The bullet also caps door-leaf width at 1000 mm and names hidden bookcase doors.
Which load figure is printed?
The attribute says 50 kg. The bullet says 110 lb per pair. Both stay. Quiet operation is washers, not a hydraulic damper.
Does the listing expect a joiner?
It says drilling and slotting are required, recommends a professional if the mortise is unfamiliar, and suggests a test notch on scrap. Screw count is 10 in one row and 20 in the bullet.
The DHSWNNG 8-pack is listed at £12.99 as a 90° surface-style cupboard hinge with a claimed sealed hydraulic soft close and a claim that it fits without drilling holes. Screws are still included. The bullet claims full, half and inset overlay. The saved listing has no Customer Reviews line, so there is no star rating and no UK review text to check the damper against. The pack weight is 102 g, which is the figure in the file for eight hinges. Material is alloy steel in the attribute field and cold-rolled steel in the bullet. Opening is stated as 90°, and the stated size is 11.2 × 4.3 cm. With no reviews, the hydraulic claim and the no-drill line are seller text only.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A price check on an 8-pack 90° surface hinge when you are not fitting it from UK buyer comments.
Less suitable: Any door you need to hang from reviews, or a 35 mm cup replacement.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the listing say you must drill a cup?
No. The bullet says the hinges fit without drilling holes. Screws are still included, so a screwdriver is still required.
What is the stated opening?
90°, with full, half and inset overlay claimed, and a sealed hydraulic soft close claimed.
Is there a star rating?
No. The saved listing has no Customer Reviews line, so there is no star rating and no review count. The pack weight is 102 g.
Shelf prices, stars and review notes are the amazon.co.uk figures already stored for these twelve listings, captured on 19 October 2026. This is not a laboratory test and not a hinge-cycle bench. A load printed in pounds stays in pounds. The score runs from 0 to 100: stars, the size of the review sample, what the stored reviews say about a real fitting job, and the price per hinge in this set. The highest score is the top pick. Best value is the strongest value part among the other listings.
Amazon stars
35%Stars are scaled out of 35. A 4.6 is not treated as a 4.8. A listing with no rating line scores 0 on this part.
Review sample
20%A sample of 200 or more ratings scores higher than a sample under 20. Fewer than 20 ratings cannot carry a hinge on stars alone.
Use in the reviews
30%Stored reviews add points when they name a fitting job and the close works. A repeated mechanical fault is a deduction. A 35 mm cup scores more when diameter, depth and door thickness are all printed.
Value in this set
15%Shelf price divided by the stated pack count, plus whether opening, overlay, close type, screws and adjustment are printed. A repeated fault or a conflicting line reduces this part. Best value is a different listing from the top pick.
Buy the family before the pack price. A concealed hinge on amazon.co.uk is a 35 mm cup, a surface hinge with no cup, or a mortise hinge for a thick door. Full overlay, half overlay and inset are different cranks. Soft close is a damper. A spring can still bang. None of these twelve listings is for a fire door.
A concealed hinge on amazon.co.uk is two products under one name. A European cabinet hinge has a cup in the door. An invisible hinge is mortised into a passage door or a furniture edge. UK kitchen doors usually use a 35 mm cup. The first choice is whether the door is full overlay, half overlay or inset. Full overlay means the door covers the side. Half overlay means two doors share a partition. Inset means the door sits inside the opening.
Two doors that share a stile need half overlay, not a hinge that covers the whole side. Inset sits inside the opening. Häfele and Titus publish different crank figures for those three doors. Match the door you have.
Cup depth, screw pattern and the mounting plate have to match. The Furniware 4-pack states 11.5 mm. The 10-pack states 13.5 mm. One old MFI hole was not deep enough, and one TASMIA buyer found the hinges did not fit the Ikea furniture they expected.
None of these listings states BS EN 15570 or BS EN 1935. A smoke-proof or fire-rated bullet with no standard number is not a fire test of the door. Call a professional for a fire, smoke or flat-entrance door.
The first check is the family. A frameless cupboard wants a 35 mm cup. A door you will not bore wants a surface hinge, and you accept less adjustment. A corner or flap wants a wide angle, with clearance for the arm. A thick flush door wants a mortise hinge, and the door thickness has to be printed or measured. Overlay is next: full, half or inset. Then the cup and the plate. Diameter, depth, distance from the edge, and a plate from the same clip or slide family.
Read the bullet that denies soft close before you treat self closing as quiet. TASMIA states there is no soft close. Hydraulic and POM dampers are the soft-close rows. Nylon pads, washers and roller tracks are not a cupboard damper and not a BS EN 1154 closer. Then thickness, weight and how many hinges the door needs. Add hinges as the door gets taller. A star line on six reviews is not equal to one on two hundred. The top pick has 222 ratings and the cup depth in writing.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You are replacing cup hinges on a frameless full-overlay door. The Furniware 4-pack is the top pick at about £12.99: 35 mm cup, 11.5 mm deep, doors of 14–22 mm, and 4.6 from 222 ratings. One hinge arrived in two parts, and one screw pattern did not match the old holes. It is a weak match for half overlay or a face-frame carcass.
You will not bore a cup and 90° is enough. The Furniware 90° surface pack is about £12.99, with 4.3 from 205 ratings and 32 screws. Reviewers used it where a cup could not be bored. Rivet play is a repeated complaint, and one hinge broke within a week. A corner or flap needs the 130–170° pack instead.
You are hanging a door at least 40 mm thick and you can mortise it, or hire a joiner. The VigilLox 2-pack states that minimum and a recess of about 13 mm, at about £19.54. It is 3.5 from 7 ratings. Pin play, a gap when closed, and a return are in the UK notes. It is not a fire door hinge, and the load lines do not agree.
The top pick is the Furniware 4-pack 110° full overlay at about £12.99. It scores 7.9, the highest here: a 35 mm cup, 11.5 mm deep, doors of 14–22 mm, and 4.6 from 222 ratings. One hinge arrived in two parts, and the face-mount line conflicts with the cup bullet. Best value is the Kamtop 20-pack at about £26.99, about £1.35 a hinge, with 4.5 from 248 ratings. Cup depth and door thickness are not stated, and one plate did not match the photograph. The DHSWNNG 8-pack scores 0.6 at about £12.99 and takes no badge: the file has no review line.
Kamtop 20-pack 110° full overlay
About £26.99 for 20 hinges, about £1.35 each, with 4.5 from 248 ratings. Cup depth is not stated.
