135degree malpha hinges

135° Malpha Hinge

Building or renovating a kitchen with modern, frameless cabinets often presents a unique challenge. The challenge is how to create a seamless corner with full access to the interior. Standard hinges cannot be used on mitered cabinet corners. They would be visible and would not function correctly.

Our 135° Malpha Hinge is the specialized solution you need. This hinge is engineered specifically for furniture structures with mitered cabinet corners. It allows the door to close flush and remain completely hidden from the outside.

This high-quality hinge, sometimes referred to locally as a Malpha hinge, is the professional’s choice for achieving clean, modern lines in kitchen, wardrobe, and office cabinetry.

By choosing this hinge, you ensure that your custom cabinetry not only looks flawless but also provides superior functionality and long-lasting performance.

Designed for Mitered Cabinet Doors

The defining feature of this hinge is its application. It is the only type of hinge that can be used for furniture structures with mitred cabinet corners. In this type of construction, the cabinet door meets the side panel at a 45-degree angle. This hinge is designed to fit perfectly within that joint.

When the door is closed, the hinge is completely concealed. It offers a clean, uninterrupted exterior surface that is the hallmark of high-end, custom furniture.

This design eliminates visual clutter and lets the beauty of your cabinet materials take center stage.

Wide 135° Opening Angle for Unrestricted Access

The 135-degree opening angle is a key functional benefit. This wide swing allows the cabinet door to open significantly further than a standard hinge. It provides excellent visibility and easy access to the entire interior of the cabinet.

This is particularly useful for corner cabinets where deep storage can otherwise be difficult to reach. While some specialized Malpha hinges offer wider openings like 165° or 180°, the 135° is the precise specification for mitered corner applications.

Precision 3-Dimensional Adjustment

Achieving a perfect door alignment is simple with this hinge’s comprehensive adjustment capabilities. It allows for fine-tuning on three axes. This ensures your cabinet doors line up flush and even every time.

The adjustment ranges are side adjustment of ±1.5 mm, height adjustment of ±3 mm, and depth adjustment of ±1.5 mm.

This level of adjustability compensates for any minor inconsistencies in cabinet construction and ensures a flawless fit.

What does a 35mm cup drilling mean?

Like all concealed hinges, this 135° Malpha hinge requires a 35mm diameter hole to be drilled into the back of the cabinet door. This is a standard size across the industry.

The depth of this cup drilling is precisely 13.5 mm. This is where the Malpha connection becomes clear. In many regions, the 35mm Forstner bit used to drill this hole is commonly called a Malpha bit. The hinge itself inherits that name.

135degree malpha hinges standard sizing ensures compatibility with standard door materials and thicknesses.

What door and panel thicknesses is this hinge compatible with?

This hinge is engineered for standard cabinet construction materials. It is suitable for door thickness of 16 to 22 mm and side panel thickness of 16 to 20 mm.

How is this hinge installed?

Installation is designed for screw fixing. Once the 35mm cup hole is drilled, the hinge body is inserted and secured with screws. The 135degree malpha hinges arm is then mounted to the cabinet side panel. The package is designed for a 2 mm door gap all around to ensure smooth operation.

Is any special preparation needed for thicker panels?

Yes. For side panels with a thickness of 20 mm or more, the inner edge of the panel must be chamfered by 3 mm. This creates the necessary clearance for the hinge to function correctly and for the door to open fully without obstruction.

Robust and Durable Construction

This 135degree malpha hinges is built to last, using high-quality materials designed for frequent use. The hinge cup is manufactured from durable zinc alloy. The hinge arm is made from robust steel.

135degree malpha hinges component is finished with a nickel-plated coating. This provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion. It ensures the mechanism remains smooth and the appearance remains clean for years, even in humid environments like kitchens.

What’s the difference between this and a 165° or 180° Malpha Hinge?

This is an important distinction. While local suppliers may list Malpha hinges in various angles like 165° or 180°, those are for different applications.

The 135° hinge is specifically designed for mitered corner cabinets. Its unique geometry allows it to be hidden within the mitered joint.

The 165° and 180° hinges are for face-frame or other cabinet types where a very wide opening is desired, but the cabinet corner is not mitered. 135degree malpha hinges have a different crank or arm profile and are not interchangeable with the 135° miter hinge.

Always select the hinge based on your cabinet’s construction. For a standard overlay door on a standard cabinet, a different hinge is required. For a door on a mitered corner, the 135° hinge is the correct and only choice.
