What is a Soss Hinge?

A Soss hinge is a type of concealed hinge that is designed to be completely hidden when the cabinet or door is closed. It is named after the Soss Manufacturing Company, which pioneered and popularized this hinge design. Soss hinges are commonly used in high-end cabinetry and architectural applications where a clean and seamless appearance is desired.

Unlike traditional hinges that are visible on the outside of the door or cabinet, Soss hinges are recessed into the door and the cabinet frame, creating a flush and uninterrupted surface when closed. The hinge is mortised into both the door and the cabinet, allowing the door to open and close smoothly without any visible hardware.

Soss hinges are typically made of solid brass or stainless steel, which ensures strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. They are available in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different door and cabinet dimensions. Some Soss hinges also incorporate features like adjustable tension, allowing for precise control over the closing force of the door.
